Halloween Nails (times two) featuring Kleancolor, Nails Inc and a-england

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I couldn't decide on just one Halloween mani so decided I would do a post with two ideas I had.......

Kleancolor Metallic Orange with Nails Inc Camden Crackle

The first one me and my friend Fi came up with while trying to plan her nails,  we wanted an orange base with black crackle, simple but striking and very halloweeny.

I decided a shiny or shimmery orange base was more what I was looking for than a creme orange, and since I hadn't used Kleancolors Metallic Orange yet that was the best choice, and I will show you it without the crackle first.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and no top coat.

Then I added one coat of Nails Inc (black) Camden crackle and 1 coat of the Shield.

And here is my second idea...

Nails Inc Floral Street and a-england Camelot with Spiders

Anyone who knows me, knows I hate spiders, even these little stickers on my fingers creeped me out a bit.

But as it is Halloween I soldiered through, again I wanted to keep things simple, so monochrome seemed the way to go.

The sheet of stickers I wanted to use had mainly black spiders and a few white so I done 4 nails with Nails Inc Floral Street and 1 nail with a-england Camelot and put the opposite coloured spiders on each nail.

I will not show you Floral Street or Camelot alone as I have already done this here and here.  So this is 1 coat of the Knight then 2 coats of each polish with the stickers placed on top and then 1 coat of the Shield to seal it all.

I hoped you liked my halloween nails and please feel free to leave me a comment <3

Illamasqua Faux Pas and Nails Inc Privileged

Now here is the other polish from the Illamasqua Theatre of the Nameless collection that Fi had bought, Faux Pas.

I love this one, it is such a rich purple colour and again has the rubber or wax like finish.

Coverage on this one was wearable with 1 coat but was even better with 2, so here is 1 coat of the Knight, and 2 of Faux Pas and no top coat.

After really liking Vice with the 2010, I thought I would try the same with Faux Pas, but with Privileged (from the Nails Inc Blair Gossip Girl duo) on top instead.

Here is the above mani with 1 coat of Privileged and 1 coat of Kleancolor Madly Matte.

Over Faux Pas, Privileged shows mostly blue flashes but small hints of green.

Thanks for looking and thanks to Fi for letting me use both of her polishes <3 <3

Illamasqua Vice and Nubar 2010

I have for you today one of the lovely Illamasqua Theatre of the Nameless 'rubber effect' polishes.  This one is called Vice and is a pretty berry colour.

I have not managed to buy these polishes for myself but my amazing friend Fi bought them and then went on holiday before she could get a chance to use them, so of course I offered to polish sit for her.....

These are my first Illamasqua polishes and I was so happy to try them eventually, the bottle is an amazing design, and looks like it will be very storage friendly for when I finally buy some.  The application was great and the cap on this polish was slightly rubberised to mirror the finish of the polish inside.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Vice and no top coat.

I love this polish, the finish of this reminds me of candle wax.

Now........ I had been thinking about how the flakies would look matte, I had seen pictures of this before and it looked great so I had to try it for myself.  I had quickly swatched 2010 over this polish when Fi came over with them and it looked ideal so here is the above mani with 1 coat of Nubar 2010 and then topped with 1 coat of Kleancolor Madly Matte, which I had used before to produce a more rubbery finish than a standard matte top coat.

The 2010 on top of this polish still shows different colours but leans more towards showing the orange and the yellow flashes.

Thanks for looking <3 xx

Kleancolor Metallic Green

I have for you today another of the Kleancolor Metallics, Green.

I love this colour, it is an acid type of green with a foil like finish and it is completely opaque in 2 coats.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

I honestly love green polishes, although I was looking through the polishes I have bought recently and they are mostly purple tones, oh well, once the new a-englands come out, I will have some new awesome greens to wear <3

Nails Inc Tudor Way

I have for you today Nails Inc Tudor Way, this is a very lovely navy blue polish, it is right up there with my favorites to be honest.

It is always great to apply, could probably get away with 1 coat and has no streaks.

I can't say much else about it, so here it is with 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

After a day of looking at this polish I had an idea I couldn't shake, I have really been lusting over the Illamasqua rubber look polishes and this colour looked to me like it would fit in nice with that collection.

I have Kleancolours matte top coat, Madly Matte, I had only tried this out on 1 nail when I had got it but remembered it having a bit more of a rubbery look than my other matte top coat.

Here is the above mani with 1 coat of the Kleancolour Madly Matte.

I was right and, was so please with the result.  This will keep my Illamasqua need at bay.... for now.

And after a busy day of typing, there was no chipping, just the tips of my nails were a bit shinier than the rest, but this can easily be freshened up with another coat of the matte top coat.

Hope you like and feel free to leave me a comment xx

Kleancolor Metallic Mango

Today I will show you another of the Kleancolor Metallics, and this time I went for Mango.

This colour is a very bronzed pale orange.  Again coverage and application were great and it has the same foil like finish most of the Kleancolor Metallics seem to have, the black was the only one that has differed so far.

As usual, this is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

How are you liking the Kleancolours I have shown you so far?  Please leave any comments below <3

Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire

I really seem to be wearing a lot of blue polishes recently, so I have for you today Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire.

This is a very rich blue, and Sapphire is the perfect name to describe this colour.  It has the same foil finish as the Metallic Red and looked so pretty on the nail.  The application of this was very easy and I could have probably got away with 1 coat, but I done 2, as usual.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 coat of the Shield.

Thanks for looking <3 xx

a-england Elaine with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple

Yey, a post about an a-england polish.  I have been trying ever so hard to space the last few Mythicals I have to show you out as I don't want to completely run out of posts with too much time left before the new collection is available.

I have for you all today Elaine which is quite a dark smoky purple and I love it.  As per usual with a-england polishes, 1 coat would give good enough coverage to wear but I generally always do 2 coats, more out of habit than anything else.  This is a great cream polish and is not streaky at all when going on.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Elaine and no top coat.

As you know I also just received a lot of the Kleancolor polishes and I though Chunky Holo Purple would look great over Elaine.  I love the finish of this polish, and the way it changes colours through green, yellow, orange and red  caught my eye more than a few times today.

This is the above mani with 1 coat of Chunky Holo Purple and 1 coat of the Shield.  

Thanks for looking<3 xx

Kleancolor Holo Blue

I have for you today another Kleancolour polish, I decided to take a break from the Metallics and show you one of the Holos.

The first one I decided to try from the holo selection was the blue, it just kind of jumped out of the box at me when I looked.

This polish is very sheer, and seems to have an almost jelly look to it but I actually quite like the finish it has, which is unusual for me as I love full coverage normally.

All the holos in the collection look like they will have the same finish when I look at them in the bottle, but I won't know for sure until I try them on the nail.  Also, with this collection, it looks like the same holo glitter in each and it is just the base colour that is different.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 (thin) coats of the polish and 1 coat of the Shield.

Thanks for looking and please feel free to leave me a comment xx
