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 when I first 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), Color Club in Hashtag Sponsored (second from the left), Color Club in Influencer (first from the left), and Color Club in Olive Paris (fourth from the left). For this post, I will review the polish fifth from the left.

This is Color Club in Don't Steal My Thunder. 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 "coral with slight iridescence" and I have to agree.

Here's a closer look at the brush. Compared to OPI, the brush is thinner and the length is the same. The width is on the thin side.

I applied Essie Strong Start Base Coat, two coats of Color Club in Don't Steal My Thunder, 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 thinner side than I like. Even though it's thin, it's a good width for the consistency. I just didn't clean the brush in the inside before using it. The consistency would just spread on the nails. Also, I tend to like curve tips. Even though it didn't have a curve tip, it was easy to paint around the cuticles and sides. Secondly, the packaging is nice. It's simple and clean looking. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick glass. The top is also sturdy. I can feel a tight seal when I 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 in-between medium to thick. It's not too thick that it's hard to work with. It's also not too thin that it runs while using. It's a good consistency and you can take your time with painting. It will not get clumpy with usage. I did find myself painting faster mainly because it's thicker than I am used to. With that said, it's easy to use. It goes on smoothly, and there are no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, it's a peachy/coral color with slight silverish-white glitters. It's perfect for spring and summer season. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. Two coats were good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, I'm on my sixth day and I do not see any shrinkage whatsoever. I do see slight chipping on the sides of the tips but it's barely noticeable. I only noticed for review purchases. If you do not look at your nails, you will not notice. It will look like you just applied the nail polish. I am glad I got this polish. The quality is amazing but I'm mixed on the color. I think if it was straight peachy/coral I would have liked it. I am not too keen on the slight shiny shimmers.

Would repurchase: Maybe.
