Studio M

Today, I have 3 colors from Studio M that I picked up last December while I was visiting in Indiana. :)

This brand is found at Meijers.

Left to Right: De-Luxe-Cious, Ms. Haute, and Magic Attraction.

Studio M "De-Luxe-Cious"
2 coats, no top coat

Not quite a blue, but not completely grey, it's gritty, gritty, gritty, but pretty, pretty, pretty! This color takes a minimum of 2 coats of top coat to smooth it out, maybe 3...YIKES! Also it was NO FUN to apply!

Studio M "Ms. Haute"
 2 coats, no top coat

See that awesome purple shimmer in the bottle? I was hoping this would translate well on the nail, but NOPE!

This was disappointing.  All that shimmer in the bottle, and NOTHING on the nail. DUDE! Also, it has some strange glitter elements in it that make it bumpy?!? YUCK!

Studio M "Magic Attraction"
3 coats, no top coat

This has a lot of scatter holo-glitter in a a blush silver base.  This was thick, but very pretty! This is a super sparkly polish, it has the same glitter elements as "Slamming Red" and "Purple Medallion" seen HERE.

This does dry a bit gritty, but nothing a good top coat couldn't cure.  It does not "drink up" to coat like Slamming Red or Purple Medallion.

I know that the same company that makes "Studio M, also makes Color Club, thus a lot of the colors are repeated as well as the names.

In this post by Scrangie, she swatches a Color Club collection that has two colors identical to "Ms. Haute" and "De-Luxe-cious", and they have the same names.   Is that really necessary? I mean... the colors being repeated I can understand, but the names too?...what's the point?

Anyways, the only color I say you must have is "Magic Attraction", but you probably already knew that...LOL :)

Studio M....FINALLY!

Yes I finally got my hands on "Slamming Red" and "Purple Medallion" from Studio M.

I was visiting family in the Midwest and I made a bee-line for Meijers and that's where I found them...WooHoo!

Studio M
Slamming Red
2 coats

This is 2 coats with a top coat of Seche Vite. A simply gorgeous red that leans pink and is totally slamming! 

I know many people have said that this polish was very gloppy, but mine was fine.  It is thicker than the average polish but it was very easy to manage and dried nicely.  It was still very bumpy and gritty, like most glitters, and it dried kinda matte, but nothing a coat of Seche Vite couldn't handle.

This polish glitters like no other!  It was opaque in 1 coat but I added 2 for good measure:)  It has holographic glitter and sparkles like there are literally jewels inside, gorgeous!

Studio M
Purple Medallion
2 coats

Purple Medallion is Slamming Reds cute cousin. 

This one isn't opaque in 1 coat and absolutely requires 2 coats, the base has more of a jelly -like consistency.

Now I'll warn you both are a P.I.T.A. to remove....SERIOUSLY!  I suggest that you layer both of these over a red or purple creme polish that is complimentary in color, that way removal is a ton easier :)

Both of these are awesome, and in the sunlight they are blinding!

Next time I go to visit family in the Midwest, I'm buying more for swaps...a lot more :)

My new Haul

My Giveaway! Something is wrong with the form I used and its not working, so I have opened up the comments section on my giveaway.  Sorry!  Please leave your entry info there, Thanks :)


I always say "I'm not going to buy anything this month:, but that always fails and I have valid excuse this time...I was out of town, so of course I had to look for colors I can't get back home?...right?

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL! :)

Yep, I finally got he Studio M/ Massini "Slamming Red" and "Purple Medallion"...sooo happy!
Red and purple polish chock full of holo goodness..yum yum!!!!

 :)

Sinful "Green Ocean"...woohoo, Ive been wanting this forever!  This was the only bottle left and from the looks of it, it was swatched by many a shopper, but I don't care, its mine now!!!!!

I'm a sad panda now, we don't have ANY sun in sunny California, so I have to wait to wear these, because you all know that the Studio M's are best in the sunshine!

Happy Days!!!!
