Recently I visited T.J. Maxx, January 2022, and saw this nail polish kit.

It's Color Club 7 Pc Pinkies Up Kit. The kit was on the website the last time I reviewed a polish from this kit. It's not there anymore. I am not too sure why. Anyways, I had to grab this kit. The price is less than one nail polish. That is amazing! I already reviewed Color Club in Can You Dig It? (sixth from the left). For this post, I will review the polish second from the left.

This is Color Club in Hashtag Sponsored. Since I did a thorough review of Color Club in Chalk It Up, I will base this on that.

Here's a closer look at the color. The website describes it as "greige (gray-beige)" and I have to agree.

Here's a closer look at the brush. Compared to OPI, the brush is thinner and slightly shorter. It's short by just a little bit. The width I would consider on the thin side.

I applied Essie Strong Start Base Coat, two coats of Color Club in Hashtag Sponsored, and topped all the nails with Orly In A Snap Quick-Dry Topcoat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the brush is on the thin side. It's not my type of brush but this one is actually nice. It spreads so easily that it paints the nails without going over the skin. I just don't clean the brush in the inside before using. It helps to use less strokes and it paints well around the cuticles and sides. Secondly, the packaging is nice. It's simple and clean. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick glass. The top is also sturdy. You can feel a tight seal when you open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. It's also easy to hold with one hand. Third, the consistency is creamy and on the medium. It's not too thick that it's hard to work with. It's also not too thin that it runs while painting. It's a good consistency and you can take your time with painting. It will not get clumpy with usage. With that said, it goes on smoothly and there are no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, it's a gorgeous gray color and it's perfect for fall and winter season. It's also great for work. The color isn't unique. You can find it in other brands. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. Two coats were good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, I saw no shrinkage whatsoever. I was pretty impressed. I think the base coat made a difference. I used one of the polishes from the kit couple weeks ago, and it wasn't this long lasting. Then again it could be this particular color. I did see slight chipping on the sides of the tips on the fifth day. It's so minimal that you cannot notice unless you look really close. I only observed for review purposes. I am glad I got this polish. I will wear it often this coming fall and winter season.

Would repurchase: Yes.
