Recent NOTD: Color Club Beyond

I signed up for the Color Society Blogger Network and one of the polishes in the welcome package I got for review was Color Club Beyond, a black linear holo. I could see the rainbow in the bottle in regular room light.



I decided to do this as a full mani to give me a better opportunity of catching the sun at some point while wearing it, so I did my usual treatment and base followed by two coats of Beyond (it was nearly a one-coater) and one layer of top coat. In the lightbox, this mostly looked like a deep charcoal grey shimmer, and I was worried I'd messed up by adding the top coat (I think we've all known some finicky holos).



I stopped worrying a tiny while later, when I pulled my hand out of the filtered illumination of the lightbox into more direct room light and saw all the pretty colors.





I stopped admiring the rainbows long enough to look up and notice that the sun was actually shining, so I rushed outside to take more pictures.





I came in, but a little while later I went back outside because I just wanted to see more of Beyond in full sun.





I wore this for five full days of typing and digging around in my purse and my other usual activities. I got no chips, just some tipwear, which I was too lazy to touch up. Here's what this mani looked like just before I took it off (this was shot in the overhead light in my laundry room, which is usually where my purse and therefore camera get set down when when I come in the door at the end of the day).



I was quite pleased with the formula and wear of Beyond. It's not a high maintenance holo; my regular base and top coat worked just fine with it. I really appreciated that the rainbows flashed in all kinds of light. (It looked really good under my bedside lamp, and that did cut into my pre-sleep reading time as I waved my fingers around looking at the pretty colors). I'm so glad we're getting some decent holo polishes again.
