Kiko 343 & Kleancolor Twinkly love

My camera had a total freak out when it saw this color, so the real color is a bit more electric than what you see on the screen, but since I can't work Photoshop because I suck at it, I left them like they were.
This is a bright green cream, that applied really well and opaque in two coats.
Kikos are really awesome, see how they shine !!!
And on top I added one of my Kleancolors - Twinkly love. This one is a clear base with different sized and colored hearts in it. But the formula is really thick, and I had a hard time getting some hearts on each nail. And all of these Kleancolors really stink, but literally stink.
So here is the result: now as I have said before we are having a really crappy time here and there is no sunshine at all so sorry but these are all under artificial light, or natural light.

OPI - Smok'n in havana

First of all sorry for the crappy frequency I've been posting at, but I have some good excuses. I have been working like crazy and the free time I do have I have been spending it searching for decoration ideas for our new appartement, and today I had an interview with the bank, and we are really on a tight shedule.
Now on to this polish. I bought it of Transdesign, but I am not so sure about it. The color is a deep red cream with orange brick like shimmer. I am not normally a fan of this kind of colors and I should not have bought it, but it's a classic, and I had to have at least one of this kind in my collection.
The application  was fine just like with every OPI I love the brush and everything went on smoothly, but the wear was kind of dissapointing, it wore like what you see in the pictures after only 2 days, but hey what can I say I didn't wrap my tips I never do it's a bitch to remove afterwards.
I bearly had time to take pictures of this polish, and that's why they are so crappy.
This was two coats:

China Glaze Tronica - Cyberspace

Another great polish from my swap with Carolina!
This one is part of the Tronica collection and it is a beige holo.
I applied 3 coats because I used a normal base coat, and as you all now holos don't really get along with your run of the mill base coats.
I really loved the polish, except we bearly had some sunshine to profit from it's holoness, but there was a bit of sunshine which I really stalked that day, whenever I saw a ray of light I would get out my camera and try to take some decent photos of this polish. But the sun was a bit shy.
So here are the photos:

Pina Parie 52+Kleancolor Red Hot

I am too excited to wait any more to show this.
I started with Pina Parie 51 which was a bit difficult on the application because of the brush that was curved. My guess is that they put normal bottle brushes in small bottles and it touched the bottom of the bottle and it tilted. So that made the application super complicated and that's why my mani is a bit messed up. But the polish on the other hand is excellent, I love the color and was totally surprised to see how great it looked on my skin, and wondered why I had waited almost 6 months to swatch this.
The base is a burdgundy jelly with blue shimmer which gives it an overall look of purple. It is not completly opaque in two coats but it was good enough for me so I left it that way.
And since I am now trying out all my new Kleancolor I thought it would look good with Red hot on top. Red hot is a red transparent base with large red hex glitter and small round glitter.
The result is this and I think it looks great! Picture spam warning!!





The reason of my sloppy application

Artificial light

Natural light




Pink Wednesday - Kiko 313

Hello everyone!!
I am so sleepy I don't know if I am too tired, or if I just haven't had enough coffee. I can't concentrate on my work, and I only want to sleep, so I decided to do a post.
And it's Wednesday again!!
I saved this for today it's a gorgeous fuchsia cream pink with some blue hints in it. Or is it just the fact that I am tired that's making me see blue in it. Don't know.
I applied two coats and it looks just perfect. My cuticules were not at their best but now they are doing much better.
I also put on two coats of Kleancolor Chuncky holo purple. It's a bit too much but I think this way you can see the beautiful flecs and the multichrome goodness better.
And bonus a cute photo of Mumu:








Isn't he a cuttie?

George - Sunset Orange

I was a bit dissapointed by this George. It is a neon orange cream, but it's not quite neon, because the formula was just like on a cream, drying time also, and application.
That was not the dissapointement though. The thing about this polish is that it wears badly, it has tip wear and small chips in two days. It also get scratched and even with the top coat on, I simply don't understand that.
But I guess for the price it retails for, it's worth it.
This is two coats:

Kiko 318 + Kleancolor Sugar coat

I wore this Kiko for two days before taking it off, and the pictures were taken right before.
It's a dark dusty purple, leaning towards a soft brown.
I love the color, but it doesn't look that good on me.
Application is excellent and formula too, I think all Kiko creams have the same one.
I placed an order on Beautyjoint that is a site that I've recently discovered with the help of Lily , to buy some kleancolor because I love their glitters. They have a sale on Kleancolor they're all at 1.75$. I bought 11 with 25€ including delivery for France.
I got them in record time - like 5 days, and really well wrapped.
The polishes are great but kinda stink.
Anyways I added a coat of Sugar Coat on top of my Kiko. Sugar coat is a transparent base with flakie like large hex glitter.
This is two coats of Kiko and one coat of the Kleancolor
