This happened to me with Color Club Port-folio. I guess I just saw the "Port" part and started calling it "Porto-fino". I don't know why that caught on for me. I live in Orlando, and Universal has a resort hotel Portofino, so I just stuck with that. I don't think I bothered even looking at the name until I purchased the color (months after the release) and then felt like an idiot. I'm sure I called this polish "Porto-fino" to a bunch of people who thought I was strange..especially since this came in the Fall 2012 In True Fashion collection...and Portofino a small Italian fashion village, has no relation to fashion. Oh well! I digress.
Port-folio (there I got it right!)
Port-folio is a blue-toned purple with an intense green/aqua duochrome shimmer.
Color: Awesome possum! This color is intense, pigmented, and the duochrome shimmer absolutely pops! I've heard comparisons to Zoya Adina (I don't own it), but based on swatches of seen Port-folio is so much richer in color.
Formula: The formula on this was very good. I was worried it would be sheer, but it wasn't at all. I used 3 coats for the swatch above.
Price: I paid $5.50 for this on Amazon.
Overall: Love this one, despite my name confusion! This is one of those stand out polishes for sure. I can't see anyone really going wrong with this one.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Paint Splatters

ReplyDeleteBeautiful color"
ReplyDeleteLOL! When I scrolled by this while on my phone, I totally read "Porto-fino" also. So you're not alone!
ReplyDeletePretty. This looks gothic like a faded old velvet dress you'd find in an attic trunk from years past. I love it.
