Jen swatched all of the shades in this collection on bare nails with no base or top coat, and she applied TWO COATS of each polish:

Again, for more info and macro shots, see Jen's blog here. As several of you mentioned in my original post, these are definitely reminiscent of Neon Collision Collection that Salon Perfect released for Summer 2013. Except not neon, of course!
While I was working on this post, longtime reader Tracey shared pics of this collection swatches over OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around (nude creme) which you can see here and here.

Urban Outfitters Beaded Nail Polish in Mint
Reader Michele (@polishedandfrosted on Instagram) mentioned to me last week that she thought some of the Color Club Modern Mosaic polishes might be very similar to the Urban Outfitters Beaded Nail Polishes (currently on sale for 2/$8). Apparently, some of Urban Outfitters polishes are made by the same parent company as Color Club (Forsythe Cosmetic Group). I can't verify that personally since I actually don't own any UO polishes, but looking at the pics above and below, you can clearly see similarities (the green shade above, Mint, definitely resembles Color Club Green Piece).
So if you can't local the Color Club Modern Mosaics in your area, you can always check out the UO versions. Thanks so much for that tip (and the pics), Michele. What a great bit of detective work!

Urban Outfitters Beaded Nail Polish in Blush
Are you a fan of this "beaded" texture? Do you plan to pick some of these up if you spot them? Do you already own some of the UO beaded polishes?
Thanks so much, Jen, for the fantastic swatches! And thanks to Michele for the comparison swatches and info as well!
Are these only at Bed, Bath and Beyond? I hope not, mine doesn't carry makeup. :(
ReplyDeleteFor those of you that your stores don't have a beauty dept and haven't researched into it any farther I have and the ones that have beauty dept will ship to you
DeleteOnly select Bed, Bath and Beyond stores carry makeup. I didn't know know about it myself until I began reading this blog. If you go to the BB&B website, it lets you search for locations that have beauty departments.
Deletewish mine had a makeup dept!
DeleteSame! They always have stuff I want.
DeleteLove all the shades! looks quite gr8
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I like these. I guess I'll have to see them swatched over another color. Thanks for the pics because I probably would have bought them and then been disappointed!
ReplyDeleteNot for me! I've been over this textured polish thing since the beginning, and this is just another variant I don't care for. Guess I'm just a smooth and shiny girl.
ReplyDeleteHmm...I'm still undecided on these. I like the color and the look of these polishes, but don't know how I feel about the texture. It may be something I have to see for myself in person before deciding. I'm definitely not a fan of textured polishes, so I'm thinking this may be a skip for me.
ReplyDeleteI really like cc as a brand but they've been really disappointing lately. :-(
