Kleancolor Matt Holo Glitter

 
 
 

 2x Coats of Catch Me by Kleancolor
3xCoats of Chunky Holo Teal by Kleancolor
1xCoat of Matte Top Coat by Orly
 
I know the stamping is smudged but i really wanted to show this design
I love the look of matte glitter and this blue is truly beautiful in real life.
This glitter is lovely, it really catches the light and shows off the all the different colours.
 
 
here's some pictures without the stamping

 
Also i love the lid of the Orly Matte topcoat as its all rubbery and so easy to grip. Nice :)
The only problem i have is that Kleancolor polishes never last on me which is such a shame as they are so beautiful. Has anyone had the same issue?
It literally peels off in big bits :(

Cute stripy and dotty Kleancolor Pattern



Kleancolor Pastel Purple & Barry M White
 Cute Spots And Stripes
I used striping tape to do the stripes but it didnt come out as crisp as i hoped. **EDIT** the reason it didnt come out very crisp is because i left the tape on too long. Always remove tape when polish is still wet.
Then dotting tool to do the spots.

Lumos Top and Bottom coat


Lumos high speed top coat and instant impact bottom coat are bought to us by Famous Names, who you may know is run by Jim and Linda Nordstrom, Jim was the co creator of CND until it was sold and is now also the creator of Sweet Squared. Sweet squared is an online supplier for the nail professional and also they run salon geek. 


I have owned these polishes for only a week but already I am so glad I listened to other professionals and purchased these. They came so highly recommended by other nail techs and I was worried they wouldn't live up to expectations but boy was I wrong! (And you won't catch me admitting that often!)

The base coat has a thin consistency but it is not hard to apply at all and dries instantly to form a bond between the nail plate and colour. 
The top coat can be applied to wet nails, although I have not tried this as I am always worried about the colour tinting the top coat. It dries COMPLETELY in 20 mins if that! I have never used a top coat that actually does what it says and I had no smudges or chips, I even went in the bath pretty much straight after applying. 

The box boasts that the polishes can be used right until the end of the bottle without becoming gloopy but as I've only just bought these I can't comment on that even though I have heard good things. 

Usually I can't wear polishes for more than a day without them peeling and chipping but this product keeps the colour firmly in place without it being hard to remove when the time comes. 

As with all coats of polish remember to cap the free edge to ensure longevity. 


This is a professional only product and I purchased mine here
