Color Club - Fall 2012 In True Fashion - Part 2

Image
Tonight, I have for you the 2nd part of the Color Club 2012 In True Fashion Collection , you can find Part 1 here .  I apologize ahead of time if my swatches aren't the best, my laptop crashed a few weeks ago and my new one won't be here until Christmas time.  I'm on my Daughter's laptop and her screen has been damaged, leaving me not being able to see very well.   Two coats of polish and one coat of top coat was used in all swatches unless otherwise noted.  Application was easy and smooth.   Part 2 of the Color Club In True Fashion Collection In The Limelight - a soft blue cream polish.   By Design - a deep creamy purple. Fashion Moment - a deep eggplant cream. Look Book - a bright red cream. Muse-ical - a charcoal gray cream. Style Icon - a burgandy cream.  This swatch looks spotty on my  Daughter's computer, and it may be the lighting or reflection, it was  not like that at all in person.
