Coupla Prevail Comparisons

So the first two I'm comparing are Massini (Color Club) Fashion Addict with Prevail Concrete Jungle. Both are pale pink scattered holos and looking at the picks are pretty dead on dupes for each other. I know my middle finger looks a bit more pink than the others, but believe, me when wearing them, you can't tell the difference at all.



Next up we have Color Club Revvvolution and Prevail Glitz and Glamour. These two are pretty darn close to identical too. Prevail's color is a bit more black than the Color Club, but I only used two coats. I bet at three you wouldn't be able to tell any difference. Just like the two pinks, when wearing them, you really can't see a difference between the two.




So I'd say the two different sets are definitely dupes of each other, the Prevail's are a bit more pigmented, but you can really only see the difference in photos. When worn on the nail, they look identical.

Massini / Studio M Nail Wheel

I've been in a nail wheel swatching mode lately, so I thought I'd post a bunch of 'em in the next week. The first wheel is my Massini / Studio M colors. As many of you know Massini is only available at Meijer stores and is the same as Color Club. There are a couple of colors unique to Massini, but most of the colors are the same as CC's and even carry the same name.

Oops, I just realized I labeled one wrong. The glitter on the left is actually Drama Queen, not Magic Attraction. Sorry! Make sure to click the picks to enlarge them:


Here are some closeups, I labeled Drama Queen correctly in this one ☺


I think Flair and Frosted Kiss are unique to Massini. I Googled them under Color Club and couldn't find any matches. Also, the colors from the Wild and Willing collection were labeled on the bottle as only "Fall Promo Shade".




Slamming Red and Purple Medallion are both unique to Massini and are just brilliant in the sunlight:


Here's a sunlight shot of Slamming Red and Purple Medallion. They are amazing in sunlight!!


All of these glitters are top coat hogs, so I added a coat of Gelous 1st and two of a regular top coat afterwards. Hope you all liked the wheel today ♥

Massini: Slamming Red

Slamming Red is a red jelly base packed full of purple holo glitter. This polish is a major top coat hog and removing can stain your hands red (use the foil method!!)....but despite these annoyances, I still love this color....I just don't wean it often ☺

Massini: Fall Promo Shade (aka Wild And Willing)

Here's another one of my Massini Fall Promo Shades. This is a dupe to Color Club's Wild and Willing. What an interesting color! It flashes between a gold, orange, pink and sometimes you get a hint of green.

Here you can see some of the orange:

and pink:


gold:



and a hint of green, which is more noticeable in the bottle, look at the "N":
Cool color, huh? It's has that foily finish similar to Orly's Space Cadet.

thanks for looking!

Quick Konad

I can't tell you the last time I Konaded. I think it was for Halloween! So I decided to spruce up my Massini mani from earlier. I used Konad plate M65 and Avon's Wicked. Wicked worked perfectly for Konading.

Massini: Fall Promo Shade

As you probably already know, Massini, which is now called Studio M, is Color Club. The brand is exclusive to Meijer stores. I don't know why CC bothers with a whole new brand, they're the same shades and same price. Who knows?

This shade is really the same color as Love 'Em, Leave 'Em from the Wild and Willing collection. They released the entire Wild and Willing collection, but each shade was just called "Fall Promo Shade". Wierd, huh?

It kind of makes me think of mannequin hands....but with style! It's a very pretty neutral holo.

Maybelline: Copper Kettle + Massini: Drama Queen

Maybelline Copper Kettle is an awesome color and I wish I would have gotten a backup when it was all over the Dollar Tree last year. Sigh. But it's an amazing, well coppery color (real original description, huh) and it screams harvest and fall to me.



Now, of course, I had to layer over it. I was going for the gradient look adding a layer of Massini's Drama Queen, but I have no patience for dry time, so it didn't "gradient" very well. Still, I like the color combo.

Avon: Wicked + Massini: Fall Promo Shade

So, I was trying to go for a Thanksgiving/Fall look today, so I started with one coat of Avon's Wicked, which is basically black unless in direct sunlight, then you see some brown shimmer. Over top I added one thin coat of Massini's Fall Promo Shade, which is basically Color Club's Wild and Willing.

You can see alot of the green duochrome in this pick.



Head one, it's an orange-y brownish color. The finish to it reminds me of Orly's Space Cadet - kindy of that metallic foil-y texture.





Massini or as it's known today, Studio M is a Meijer brand knock off of Color Club. Last year, they released the entire Wild at Heart collection, but on each bottle listed the color as Fall Promo Shade.

Massini "Fall Promo Shade" + Nfu Oh 51

So last year Massini (aka Studio M) released dupes to Color Club's fall line calling each shade "Fall Promo Shade". This is the dupe to Wild at Heart, a vibrant purple holo color:


and with one coat of Nfu Oh 51:


Yikes! I had a nasty break today. I silk wrapped it, so I'm hoping I'll be able to grow out the break without cutting down to nubs. Wish me luck!!

Many Layers

So this mani started with LA Girls Rockstar in Addict, which is a maroon-ish red color with orange-y glass flecks.

Pretty color, but I thought it needed some umph, so I added a layer of LA Girls Rockstar Double Platinum, which is a light charcoal, almost clear jelly base with silver holo glitter:


I didn't care for the combo, so I added a layer of Massini's Slamming Red (Massini and Studio M are the same brand). I adore Slamming Red! Just look at the holo in the bottle. My camera absolutely refuses to capture red polishes properly.


So, Slamming Red is my current NOTD. I just picked up Orly Space Cadet today, so I think I'll be changing my mani soon. As much as I love Slamming Red, I don't think I'll be able to wait to wear Space Cadet, it's so pretty!!!

Thanks for looking.
