Calvin Klein HTF nail polishes

I never really paid much attention to the now discontinued Calvin Klein Cosmetic line; sometimes small nail polish collections are developed and among a few boring shades, there is a gem or two.
That's exactly what happened with Emerald Green and Indigo Blue and  thanks to Jeanette from The-Swatchaholic.com (You can see her original post here), I was able to purchase these two HTF (Hard To Find) on clearance for a ridiculous price on Ebay UK.

Calvin Klein Indigo Blue

 
Emerald Green and Indigo Blue both had a perfect consistency :
Emerald Green, with its deep shimmer, applied nicely in 2 easy coats and to my extreme surprise the true metallic Indigo Blue turned out to be a one coater.
The only downside being the nail polish brush : synthetic, thick, rigid, not the most manageable but definitely worth the trouble...

Word is out that Calvin Klein will be launching a new cosmetics line in 2012, well this time, I'll pay more attention to it...
