Antiquated. A light champagne / blonde gold foil. This has a silver foil base so it's interesting to see how the gold and silver colors play together in the light.
Cold Metal. A very bold blue foil. This is the most deeply colored foil in the collection. You can barely tell it has a silver base because it's so very, very blue.
Foil Me Once. A light mauve-pink foil. Looks like wrapping paper!
Hot Like Lava. Another brightly colored foil, though not quite as saturated as Cold Metal. This one is a deep magenta, or a light cool red depending on the lighting. Reminds me of Hard Candy Scam / Urban Decay Big Bang.
Lumin-Icent. A very pale ice blue foil.
Perfect Mol-Ten. A pale green foil. Not as light as seafoam green, but still pretty pale.
These foils look insanely shiny and bright in the sunlight:

The formula on these is awesome. Dense, smooth, not too thick. One coat coverage on all shades. I did two anyway, but I really only needed one. Would probably be good for stamping because they're so thick and dense, but I haven't tried it yet. Average dry time, neither super fast nor slow. Good brushes, good bottles, no defects with any of that. One thing worth noting about these is that they're extremely bright and shiny even without topcoat. I'd still recommend topcoat to protect your manicure and dry it quickly, but these don't really need it like some polishes do.
Overall, nice little set, very pretty colors but nothing truly new. I know I have at least three versions of each blue / gold / green / pink foil in my collection so there's a high probability of already owning dupes for this collection. Great formula, though. Guess I can always count on Color Club for that nice formula! If you've never tried a foil finish polish before, this would be an excellent collection to start with because they're so dense/opaque, shiny and easy to apply. The price is right, too.
These are available now, but I don't yet see them listed on Color Club's official website.
(These were sent to me for review.)

I was planning to skip on these but once you said, "Would probably be good for stamping because they're so thick and dense" I knew I had to have at least a couple. Great review, as always! :)
ReplyDeleteAm very excited! Just ordered my first 6 Color Club polishes and 2 were from this collection-I got the Luminescent and the Molten green one! Think they'll be nice for stamping. Should have gotten the blue one as well!
ReplyDeleteOoooo. I want to buy all of these and layer giant sparse glitters over them. Yes to foils!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. I bought the entire set, but haven't tried them yet. The price is definitely right, and the colours look great (even if they're not totally unique - still so gorgeous)! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome swatches, Scrangie! :D
Oh, I love foils so much. Can't wait to get these.
ReplyDeletegorgeous shades i love all fine glitter makes them lovely
ReplyDeleteI love Color Club so much. Really great collection! It's amazing to see an ENTIRE collection of one-coaters! And they're so super pretty! I love Cold Metal! <3
ReplyDeleteI really love these... I can't wait for festive fingers! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the blue ones
ReplyDeleteI love them! ^_^
ReplyDeleteNice swatches, they're all lovely polishes.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing, that these colors are nice, but nothing new. Love your swatches anyway, I will pass on this collection though
ReplyDeleteI just found these today at Ross!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited because I think they will be great for a holo base.
Nice collection!
Oh! Beautiful! I wonder if Cold Metal is the same as Funky Fingers Alice?
ReplyDeletemy favourite is hot like lava!! need to get it :)
ReplyDeleteHot Like Lava and Mol-Ten are the ones here that catch my eye. I almost won Lava but have not been watching my eBay very well of late - I have been watching my pocket book more so guess it's good I am not winning things! Surely wish someone in my area sold Color Club.
ReplyDeleteHow far we have come from old Frost finishes to metalics and foils!
ReplyDeleteI'm not the biggest fan of foils, but I really do like the pinks in this collection!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love foils and will have to have them all.
ReplyDeleteOh this is gorgeous! As soon as I get paid, I'm going to get some of these. I may get some of the back stage pass collection, as well. You might like them if you don't have them already: glitter in a bottle CD
ReplyDeletecolor club is priced well too
ReplyDeleteI just saw this entire set at Ross for $7.99!
