Color Club English Garden Collection - Swatches & Review

Color Club are on a roll with all the new releases coming out recently.  From sheer tints, to emoji glitter polishes, to thermals and everything else in between, it's a little crazy trying to keep up with it all.  Some time recently they released their English Garden Collection and there was a few colours that grabbed my attention so took the plunge and purchased the entire collection.  Like with most of the Color Club collections there is very limited information available online so hopefully this post will be of help to you.

Biscuits & Jam is a purple jelly/creme.  It's not quite a creme and not quite a jelly, but whatever you want to call it, it is a beautiful colour.  The formula is really easy to use and it is a little sheer at the tips after two coats.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Grand Dame is described as a silver/green metallic.  It's definitely unique in my collection.  The formula is really easy to work with, it applies really evenly (although there are visible brush strokes) and you could get away with one coat if you don't mind having slightly see through tips in direct light.  If I had shorter nails I would only do one coat.  My swatch shows two coats.

It's About Thyme is a sage green creme.  Again this is really easy to use and you could get away with one coat if you apply it carefully.  This colour actually surprised me.  As you are probably aware I am not much of a green girl, but this one is really interesting.  I quite like it.  My swatch shows two coats.

Long Live The Queen is described as a green/gold metallic.  This applies the same as Grand Dame.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Pinkies Up is described as a peach creme.  It's easy to use and opaque in two coats.

Prim Rose is a pink/purple creme.  This polish is absolutely gorgeous.  It's bright without being neon and so creamy.  I simple love this one.  The formula is great and easy to use.  My swatch shows two coats.

Teal For Two is a dark teal creme.  Now this one was quite difficult for me to photograph.  My cameras kept turning it more blue toned than what it actually is.  However, direct sunlight did help out which is why it's the only picture not taken in my light box.  Anyway, the formula is great (you can easily get away with one coat of this one) and the colour is so pretty.  My swatch shows two coats.  I also didn't have any staining with this one after wearing it for a day.

Overall I quite like this collection.  I don't love all the shades (for example those metallics - they aren't bad but they don't make my heart sing).  My personal favorites are Prim Rose (hands down my favorite in this whole collection), Teal For Two, Biscuits & Jam and It's About Thyme.  Yes you did read that correctly, I did put a green (and not a minty green) as a favorite in this collection.

I believe that this collection is available in a number of online stores.  I purchased mine from HB Beauty Bar.
