Color Club
Scent-suous Collection: Part 1

Gingerbread Man





Santa's Cinnamon





Kiss Me Mistletoe




Color Club has released a new collection of scented nail polishes for the holidays! It's called the Scent-suous Collection and seems to be exclusive to Sally Beauty Supply.  This post includes the three Christmas-y colors:  Gingerbread Man, Santa's Cinnamon, and Kiss Me Mistletoe.

Part 2 includes the three glitter toppers from the Scent-suous Collection:  Sugar Plum Yum, Very Merry Berry, and Orna-Minted.  Be sure to check them out here!

Please read on after the jump for close up swatch photos, reviews, and more!


Gingerbread Man, 2 coats 

Gingerbread Man is a champagne gold foil with fine silver sparkles running through it.  The formula was fantastic.  Smooth, easy application.  Quick dry time. Gingerbread Man literally smells a gingerbread cookie. It was pleasant after it dried but then I had a veggie burger for dinner and there was a serious conflict of taste and smell happening.  Gross.  I suggest pairing it with a pumpkin spice chai latte instead.  ;D




Santa's Cinnamon, 3 coats

Santa's Cinnamon is a red jelly filled with sparkling red glitter.  I really hope my photos show the beauty of this this awesomesauce.  It just GLOWS!  Good formula, a little thick but it's not problematic.  Definitely needs a high gloss top coat to get shiny/sparkly.  I used this. Santa's Cinnamon smells like Hot Tamales/Atomic Fireballs/Red Hots...pretty much any cinnamon candy. Yummy.  Definitely my favorite of all the scents!




Kiss Me Mistletoe, 2 coats

Kiss Me Mistletoe is a light antique green foil with fine silver sparkles throughout.  Same great formula as Gingerbread Man.  I love the silver sparkles in these foils!  The sparkles are part of the actual finish keeping the look flawlessly smooth.  Kiss Me Mistletoe smells like a real Christmas tree which was so lovely at first. Outdoors it smelled nice.  Indoors it was too much for me.  It felt like I had tiny air fresheners for nails. 




Here is a bonus shot of this wild shirt and Kiss Me Mistletoe in the sun!

And just in case anyone is curious...  Everything I'm wearing in these photos is vintage.  The leopard coat was bought at a charming local antique shop.  It's not made of real leopard, lol!  The kitteh and kittehn sweater came from a wonderful online vintage shop in Canada.  The back of the sweater is all hearts!  Both shops closed several years ago sadly.  The wildly colored crinkle top is from a local thrift shop that benefits an AIDS charity.  It's handwritten price tag said, "Try something different!", so I did.  I wore it with yellow pants and bright green wedge heels.  ;D
