Nails I Love
COLOR CLUB
– Wild At Heart
Hi Goddesses
Today I’m going to
tell you the story of Wild At Heart and how she may just be the most important
nail varnish I ever bought!
I am, by nature, a
bit of a snob. I was raised on quality
and the principle of “you get what you pay for”. So, when I started becoming a Polish-Aholic,
I bought OPI only, and was determined no other brand would stick its inferior
nose in!
Then I branched into
Zoya – still high end – and a couple of Lippmann’s – off the scale – and then
started really getting into blogging.
Before I knew it, TV had been replaced each night by a need for the
particular type of crack pedalled by nail bloggers. Gradually, I was forced to pay attention to
the other brands, especially as they were more exciting than my OPIs and Zoyas,
and gradually had to admit that if they were good enough for some of the
amazing bloggers out there, surely they were good enough for me? (Plus, if you’re gonna change your mani 3 to
4 times a week anyway, does it really matter??).
So one day, sniffing
my way through the blog pages, I inhaled Wild At Heart. Color Club was a brand I had never heard of
before and it was CHEAP. My mind
immediately leapt to similarly priced UK brands and how I would never be caught
DEAD buying those, but the beauty of this colour kept gnawing at me. So I bought it. And about 10 others cos they were so cheap
and SOOOO pretty J
And really, that’s
when my true addiction began and I became a multi-drug polish-aholic. I now buy all sorts of brands – the most
important criteria for me is the colour, and this is where Color Club excel.
Wild At Heart is
from their ALTER EGO Collection which is filled with a million amazing
purples. (Color Club also taught me that
unless you own every single shade of purple under the sun, IT’S OK to keep
buying more). It’s purple, it’s dark,
and it’s holo. Holo on a budget. Which means it doesn’t bend like Glitter Gal,
but it still packs a punch.
The purple base is
rich, intense, royal, and decadent. The
holo skims and scatters on the surface, a little like a holographic top
coat. The overall effect is a deep,
rich, witchy purple that dances playfully on the nail, with more brightness
than its pigmentation should allow.
The purple is like
nothing in nature lol – it reminds me most of a purple Crayola crayon. It’s a very unnatural purple, but all the
more perfect for it. If I was designing
a purple, this would probably be it.
Every girl should
own a bottle of this. It’s devilish,
decadent, and nocturnal, and it sings of purple rainbows.
Wild At Heart IS my
heart, my purple, witchy, beautiful heart.
Enjoy J
