Kleancolor Sugar Coat

Got around to use Kleancolor Sugar Coat. 

I put on two coats of Wet N Wild Megalast Break the Ice.  Next I applied two coats of Kleancolr Sugar Coat.  There is something very ethereal about Sugar Coat.  There are a lot of indie polishes out there that Sugar Coat can easily imitate so try it out before you buy some expensive polishes.

Next, I wanted to see Sugar Coat mattefied so I applied some pink polish then applied two coats of Sugar Coat.  Last, I applied one coat of Nails Inc Westminster Bridge matte topcoat.  I definitely think that mattefying this polish brings out the extra prettiness of it!

October Polish Haul and Breast Cancer Awareness Nails

Between the Sally's October Birthday $10 off  and free Copious credit I was able to get these polishes for very little money during my no polish buy! 

Last, this is October and that means BCA nails.   My "Save the Hooters" nails are week 1's BCA Wednesday's We Wear Pink manicure.   The own turned out sooo cute! 

Discount Polish Haul, Sally Nail Mail, and a swatch of Vegas Night

A recent trip to my favorite discount beauty store yielded some more Kleancolor polishes as well as one more Ruby Kisses HD polish in Mystic Aurora.  Vegas Night had me drooling so I did a swatch that you can see at the end of this post and it. is. STUNNING!

On top of that, I also took a late night trip to Walgreens and found these two Black Radiance polishes.  The glitters in Party Girl Rock called out to me and B-girl was so stunning I just had to buy them.  There were two extra of each that I bought for a giveaway or nail polish RAOK.

In the same trip I also bought these Sinful Colors polishes.  They are soo perfect for Fall and Fig is like Dream On in its pretty factor but nicely toned down for colder months.  Winterberry is a frosty purple grey and I can't wait to see it on!  I am a sucker for blue polishes and I didn't already have Rain Storm and Ciao Bella so I snapped them up.

Yep, more from the Walgreens trip.  I finally saw the Wet N Wild Fergie polishes everyone was raving about but was soo bummed because the Walk of Fame star glitter was sold out!  (as if that ever stopped me--I later found two WoF at another Walgreens a couple of days later--awesome!)  I love the look of all of these!

I rarely buy InstaDri anymore but I saw these.  They both have a shimmer that is hard to tell in this picture but they'll look stunning on nails!

On one of my FB nail polish groups, someone shared that Sally Beauty had a super great sale on China Glaze polishes for $2.99.  The deepest discount only showed when you signed in to the beauty members account.  I filled up my cart with these 10 polishes and found a promo code that gave me an additional $5 off orders of $25 or more.  My total for these was a little over $30!

Last, I leave you with that Kleancolor Vegas Night swatch.  It speaks for itself!

Klean Color It Purple and Finger Paints Motley Mashup

One coat of It Purple and two coats of Motley, then a protective topcoat.

2 Chix Sully Review

One of the latest glitters I have acquired is 2 Chix Sully.  I thought that Klean Colors Pastel Teal would be a great under color for Sully because it reminds me of the Monsters, Inc.  character. 

While I love the look, Sully goes on very thick even when I tried in vain for thin coats.  Not sure what to do here but perhaps add a few drops of polish thinner?  Even with the thick coats and major drying time, I still like the look of it.  Matte glitter makes me happy...so tick tock goes the clock and I'm still sittin' here waiting for my polish to dry.  Buuuuut....I have pretty neon, wet nails!

I brake for cheap polish and awesome trades

I recently went to my favorite hole-in-the-wall beauty supply store and found several $1-$2 polishes from Klean Color and Ruby Kisses.

I then went to the Mile High Flea Market and found a vendor selling these cute polishes for $1. 

 Last, I recently joined a Polish Swapping Facebook group and was able to swap my Nerd Lacquer "All of Time and Space" for Butter London's Black Knight.  Love it so much. 

Glittery Rollin' in the Deep (Ocean) Nails

In tandem with my most recent nails, Hawaiian Nails, I also did a super easy mani that reminds me of the bottom of the ocean on my right hand.  Oh, that dreaded right hand ;-/  Anyway, it only took three polishes to accomplish and I am quite proud of the results!  I call these nails Rollin' in the Deep (Ocean) Nails:)

(above pic in natural sunlight)

After applying no less than two thin coats of Inkblot Blue to base-coated nails and letting the polish dry, I then added one coat of Sally Girl's Iridescent glitter.  Next, I sponged on Across the Universe onto the tips of my nails and half way up. Its ok that Across the Universe glitter is suspended in a black base because the black polish dries a sheer smoky color and barely tints the polish underneath.  The green and teal glitters really pop on Inkblot Blue.   Last I did a generous swish of Chunky Silver on a note card and used a toothpick to pick up large and small hex glitters and placed them in random arched lines of three to simulate bubbles. 

The only thing I would do differently is add more layers of topcoat so that the finish is smoother but I am very happy with these nails.  Striking!
