More Glitters

Hi everyone, I'm back from vacation so I'll be able to respond to everyone's comments,  hopefully I'll get caught up tomorrow.
It was quite simply amazing in Cali, Venice Beach was, as usual, a fun and colorful event, and while I was there I upgraded my boyfriend to fiancé!!!!  
Sunday night we were on the beach at sunset and he got on his knees pulled out a gorgeous ring, and popped the question! It was totally unexpected and I'm still in shock. 
I guess I should say that I said yes!  Actually it was more of me doing my best impression of a fish out of water with my mouth opening and nothing coming out.  When I could speak all I could say was "Really?"  I finally had to nod my answer.  I may have made him a wee bit nervous.  It was wonderful though and so perfect, I'm beyond happy!  We're talking next summer for the wedding, but we're in the beginning stages of planning, more to come!!

I hope you all aren't getting sick of my Kleancolor's yet, I have a lot to show and I'm having a lot of fun with them.

 Pardon the tip wear, my Essie Secret Story survived a day at work before I decided to add some zing with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuchsia.  This shows the difference it makes on the original polish with the glitter coat on just my pinky and ring fingers.

 Here it is in the shade where the holo flashes more orangy than rainbow.  I've noticed this about most of the Kleancolor holos.  I think that with this shade though the polish and the glitter are so similar that the latter just doesn't show up as well as it could.  Chunky Holo Fuchsia would be killer over a darker base color.

 Unlike the Golden Nirvana on CG Sun Worshiper, the fuchsia tint only darkened the original color slightly

Even though it looks more like a pink glitter coat than a holo I still love it, I do plan to see what it looks like over a dark base color though.  What do you think of it?

Thanks so much for reading and sharing in my happiness!  Until next time, take care and have a great one!

Bling-a-ching-ching

Hi everyone!  Guess what, I'm on vacation!!  I'm visiting my friend in Venice Beach California again this year, one block away from the  beach!  Let me tell you, my glaring white skin is a dead giveaway to my being a tourist.  I'm so excited to be here.  Since I didn't know if I'd have time for polish changes I put together some posts to keep things entertaining around here.  I may pop in with some vaca pics or news though.

Here I'm dressing up China Glaze Sun Worshiper with some Kleancolor.

 This is Golden Nirvana.  It's a mixture of large and small silver holo hexes with a fine silver glitter suspended in a lovely, thick, orange tinted base. 

 The orange tint isn't quite saturated enough to be a jelly, but it is enough to have deepened up Sun Worshiper significantly giving it almost the same color as oranges you buy at the store.  Mmmm, doesn't it just look juicy and good!

 The formula for Kleancolor is very thick, almost syrupy but by no means goopy or difficult.  In fact it dried very smooth and nice without the addition of a top coat.  If only all glitter polishes were so good when dry.

 I am totally in love with the formula and although I only purchased the glitters and holo's I'm planning on purchasing some of their regular polishes as well to see if the formula for them is as impressive.

I just "slapped" it on without messing with placement on the hexes, hence more on some nails than others.  I really like the way it looks. 
So you all have a lovely one and take care, I'll think of you while enjoying the sun and sand of the beach.  Ta!

Shimmer and Sparkle

Rather than take off my China Glaze Light as Air and OPI Steady as She Rose comparison I just finished up my right hand and went for some of my new Kleancolor pretties to add some bling.

I really like how this turned out, and am pretty bummed that my pictures don't show the lovely holo glow very well.  I used two coats of the the Chunky Holo Purple which is a great lavender holo glitter that flashes orange in a clear, purple touched base.  I then  added some diamond shaped glitter in a fun, bright green and Orly's Sec n' Dry top coat.

The formula for Kleancolor seems very thick compared to most glitter polishes but not in a sticky, goopy way.  The best way I can describe the consistency is a really thick syrup.  It has a very distinct smell too, not harsh, makes you want to cough if you inhale to deeply the way most polishes do, but a rather plastic-y smell that's hard to describe. 

I really like how this turned out and so far love Kleancolor.  Have you tried their polish yet?  I ordered it directly from Keancolor and they're very reasonable at less than $4usd a bottle.  Well worth it in my book.  
Until next time, take care.
