Color Club Miss Bliss
Miss Bliss was released by Color Club as part of its Halo Hues collection for spring 2013. This collection marked round two for Halo Hues -- the first was released for fall 2012. Both shared the same smooth user-friendly formula and uber linear holographic display, with the second collection delivering more intense and saturated base colors.
Miss Bliss is a medium-light cool rosy pink linear holo with a slightly metallic appearance due to the intensity of the holographic display. The formula for this was primo, just perfect. Fluid but not runny with silky smooth self-leveling flow, this polish glides onto the nail without any of the patching or grabbing that was characteristic of many holographic polishes that came before the Halo Hues (cough, Layla, cough, Nfu oh). It does show irregularities in the nail bed, however, and I used two coats of my favorite ridge-filling basecoat, Butter London Nail Foundation, on the most ridged of my nails -- but honestly, the dramatic holographic display of this polish will make you forget every flaw you might have otherwise noticed.
Pigmentation is excellent with near one-coat coverage, but two thin coats are best for 100% opacity without thin spots and the richest most dynamic holo display. Cleanup and removal are straightforward and trouble-free except for some sparkling particles of holo pigment that want to cling to the skin when you go to remove any swipage. Miss Bliss dries naturally in very good time to a smooth shiny finish that takes well to topcoat without any noticeable disruption of the prismatic flair.

This is just a magnificent example of a linear holographic polish. The flair is powerful and all of the rainbow colors are present and well defined. For linear holo lovers, all of the Halo Hues shades are worth seeking out. Personally, I prefer the more nuanced prismatic display of scattered holos, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the amazing beauty of a linear holo like Miss Bliss.

I have a few of the Color Club Halo Hues from the first set and they are awesome. I totally need to add this one, along with just about the rest of them, to my collection. Miss Bliss is gorgeous! I just love how insanely holo it is.
ReplyDeleteThe second set has more saturated base colors than the first according to what I've seen and read, but you're right they're all fantastic linear holos. Transdesign carries both Halo Hues sets. They cost about three times more than most all of the other Color Club polishes, but hey you get what you pay for, no? And they're still no more expensive than the typical indie.
