Greazefest!

So excited at the moment that I think I'm gonna burst!
We just booked tickets and are flying up to Brisbane in 3 weeks to go to Greazefest! Woohoo!

Best part?  Apart from all the Vintage booths selling awesome stuff??? 
 Micheline Pitt is having pinup classes on the Sunday. Swoon...fan me sugar.....move your butt over Angelina Jolie, Micheline is the one I would turn gay for!

Can you tell I'm almost peeing my pants here?!

Kleancolor City Never Sleeps & Heli-Yum

First up, these photos suck. They were taken at night and I forgot to take some during the day, so this is all I have. You will have to take my word for it when I say that this was a killer combo.  Click on the pics to make them bigger...that might help a little!

One coat of China Glaze Heli-yum with 2 coats of Kleancolor City Never Sleeps. Finished with a coat of Seche QD.

The Kleancolor glitters are great but the bases are not. The glitters in this color are fantastic in multi shapes of gold, pink, silver, blue and orange...but the base color is a mucky brownish goop color. It completely wrecks the overall look of the glitter....why can't they just suspend all this awesomeness in Clear if they can't decide what color to make the base?

Kleancolor Mud Pie Sparkle

OK, I admit that the name of the polish sucked me in more than the color of it.

This is 2 coats of Mus Pie Sparkle and it really does look like.....mud. Do not like. At all. Ugh. Metallic brown with large pieces of black glitter sounds nice in theory, but in actuality it's glumpy, uneven and it just looks like some crap got onto my nails before they dried properly.

What do you guys think?

Kleancolor Chunky Holo Scarlet

Look at this divine-ness. Two coats of Chunky Holo Scarlet. The bottle color is a dark Scarlet red, but as you can see it comes out as a quite bright red on the nail, scattered with glitter.  First 2 pics under artificial light, last photo in full sunlight.

Kleencolor Silver & Kiss Goodbye

You'll be seeing all Kleencolor haul pics this week! Most of my choices were glitter, which is unusual for me, as I normally steer clear of the gritty, too hard to remove stuff.

This was 2 coats of Silver with 2 coats of Kiss Goodbye. As you can see, Kiss Goodbye is a teeny, tiny micro glitter...the kind I like best!  This combo looked really nice and tasteful...as far as blingy manicures go.  It also lasted 4 days without even wearing at the tips.  Gotta love that for $1.75.

And this is Silver al by it's lonesome. A pearl crap color! This is a color I wouldn't be caught dead wearing by itself, but as an 'underneath' color it's do-able.

Happy Monday!

An Army Of Kleencolors

Thanks to Jen I hauled quite a few Kleencolor babies! She kindly let all of her FB followers know that Beauty Joint ships internationally and their polish prices seem to be super cheap at $1.75. Well, to me in high priced Australia anyway.

So I hauled 27 of these babies. All the Chunky holo's, some metallics and heaps of glitters.

I immediately swatched the Metallics as the bottle colors were gorgeous. Little did I think that these would be instant fav's in my collection!
Left from Right:  Mango, Fuschia, Green and Scarlet Red.
Look at Fuschia! Under light it is the most beautiful shade I have ever seen....truly. It's just beautiful. Orange (not pictured) is also awesome so I am kicking myself I didn't grab the rest of the metallics with my order. I wanted to leave this on as it looked pretty awesome so it was my mani for a couple of days.

But I really wanted to try one of the new holo glitters so I layered a coat of Chunky Holo Black. Unfortunately my camera spazzed out trying to capture the rainbow-y goodness. I had to go into shade with the flash off to try and get some of it. Just trust me....it looked awesome.

Who else has hauled some Kleencolors lately?

For Audrey & Hidden Treasure

This is 2 coats of China Glaze For Audrey

One coat of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure.

Then mattified with China GLaze Matte Top Coat.
It looks much more 'rainbow-y' in real life. Its one of my favourite polish color combos and a bit of a 'go-to' manicure.

Sorry for yet another boring blogpost....my mojo has still gone AWOL.

Have a good weekend everyone!
