Random Kleancolor Comparisons

Happy Friday everybody!

I recently got some Kleancolors on eBay and noticed that some of the ones I got were similar to polish I already own. Since Kleancolor is the one of the cheapest polish brands out there, I figured maybe some of you would benefit from seeing some compared with brands that cost a little more. 

So for the first comparison, we have Kleancolor Metallic Pink and Color Club Hot Like Lava. The Kleancolor is a lot more of a saturated, bright shade while the Color Club has more silvery specks in it. The formula was about the same on these.


Next, is Zoya Carly and Kleancolor Metallic Purple. You can tell the Kleancolor is a lot more blue leaning whil Carly is more red. The overall finish is the same. These 2 only seem to be a shade or two apart.


Here is Color Club Twiggie and Kleancolor TLC. Very similar, but the Kleancolor is a shade lighter. Formula wise, I would choose Twiggie.


And finally, here is Color Club Perfect Mol-Ten and Kleancolor Metallic Green. I love the Kleancolor! So bright. I feel like the Color Club is the typical metallic/foil green that you see. They are both very different so you could justify owning both. :)


So that's it for my random comparisons! Hopefully you weren't too bored. haha 

Let me know if this is something you would like to see more of in the future and if you have any requests!

Born Pretty Store Blue Matte + Glitter Frames

Hey readers!

It's a late post for me today. I took a chunk out of my afternoon to get caught up on some sleep after my 1 1/2 year old kept me up half the night. Gotta love 'em. :)

I previously used these glitters from Born Pretty Store in *this* mani. This time, I used them on a matching blue matte polish also from Born Pretty. I used a toothpick and little dabs of base coat to apply the glitter. It was a bit of a challenge not letting the base coat ruin the matte finish anywhere the glitter wasn't covering but I am proud to say that it worked out quite nicely! I really like the contrast between the matte and glitter finishes.



I took more pics than normal to try and capture the dimension that the 2 finishes give to the overall look. Also, this blue matte is the best matte formula I have worked with! Like other mattes, you do have to work faster when applying. But unlike other mattes that dry with an imperfect finish, this one evens out to a perfectly smooth surface as it dries! So impressed.



So what do you think about this nail art look?

You can find the glitter and polish I used *here* and  *here*. AND don't forget about my 10% off coupon code when you order: AJ10W21! :)
