Kleancolor: Born to the Purple

Hey y'all! My school week has finally come to an end! Y'all just don't know how happy I am to be done. I'm also excited for the Hog game this weekend!

Today I wanted to show y'all one of my new polishes. I ordered this Kleancolor off of Amazon. (Check out Amazon for some good deals on polish!) It's kind of a sheer glitter/jelly polish. It has purple hex glitter suspended in a lighter purple base. On my ring finger I had two coats over Chi Behind Closed Doors. I'm going to post this polish again soon with it layered over some other purples. For now, take a look at it alone and over BCD!

I used three coats and it was really easy to apply. You will want to let each coat dry, though, so the glitter pieces don't move around. I like it over BCD on my ring finger, but I don't think that's the right purple to layer it with. I definitely want to see it over a deep, dark purple. Maybe OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark? I'm going to have to get experimenting with it! I do have to add, this is my first and only Kleancolor, but I love the formula! I think I'll get more eventually.

What do y'all think of Born to the Purple? What would you layer it over? Do y'all like Kleancolor polishes? Let me know!

Thanks for reading! :)

Chi: Behind Closed Doors

Hey y'all! I'm bummed that it's already Monday. I always feel like I just won't be able to make it through another week of classes, but I always do! And once I'm back in school everything just starts rolling again and it's all okay. But I hate Mondays anyway.

So today I wanted to show you a Chi polish that I got on clearance from Ulta a while back. It's the perfect dark purple for fall. I really like to wear purples like this during this time of the year. They just look so good. Take a look!

I only needed two coats for this one. It goes on perfectly! The only complaint I have is that the brush is really, super skinny. It takes a lot of re-dipping in the polish, sometimes more than twice for just one nail. But that really doesn't bother me, because the color completely makes up for it, and the formula is top notch. You can find Chi nail polish at Ulta, and they're around $8-9. It's a little pricy, but, in my humble opinion, pretty worth it for what you're getting. I only have two bottles of Chi. One I got for Christmas a few years ago, so I didn't pay for that. And then this one which was on clearance for about $3. So I've never paid full price for a bottle. But I have seen some pretty awesome colors, so I wouldn't mind getting more.

What do y'all think of Behind Closed Doors? Is this your idea of a fall polish? If not, what do you like for fall? Have any of y'all tried Chi polishes? If so, what do y'all think of them? Let me know!

Thanks for reading. :)

A Look at My Collection: Purples

Today I'm going to show y'all my collection of purples. I love wearing purple, especially in the fall. I'm glad I did this because now I know which purples I'm most definitely going to wear in the fall. :)

1. Brucci: Violet Rage

2. Sinful Colors: Purple Diamond

3. OPI: Parlez-vous OPI?

4. Sally Hansen: No Name

5. China Glaze: Avalanche

6. Orly: Charged Up

I know a lot of these look black, but I promise y'all they're purple! Also, Daddy's Girl (Sinful Colors- #13) looks blue, but it is purple. It doesn't photograph very well. And I'm calling Borghese-Stellare Notte purple because, to me, it is. It flashes a lot of different colors, but I mostly see purple. What are y'all's favorites? I'm loving Chi Behind Closed Doors and Nars Tokaido Express. I think I'll get a lot of wear out of those this fall.

Thanks for reading! :)

A Look at My Collection: Reds

Today I wanted to show y'all my collection of reds. I've said before that I don't have that many reds, and I find that weird because it's my favorite color. Right now I have 13 in my collection. Not even enough to fill up a whole nail wheel! But that's okay. I like the reds I have and I know I'm going to wear them a lot this fall. :)

1. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Red Carpet

2. Chi: He's Chi-ting On Me

3. Sinful Colors: Sugar Sugar

4. Savvy by Femme Couture: Shimmer Time

5. Borghese: Venetian Red

6. Wet n Wild: Burgundy Frost

7. Essie: Rock Star Skinny

8. NYC: 211 A

9. Ulta: Steppin Out

10. OPI: Chick Flick Cherry

11. Sally Hansen Salon: Hollywood Scarlet

12. Wet n Wild: Red Red

13. Wet n Wild: Crazed

So that's my collection! Like I said, red is my favorite color and I really like to wear it on my nails. But, I'm not a big fan of the staining that reds *always* leave behind. It feels like no matter what you do, or how careful you are... you will still get horrible stains. Do any of y'all have any tips or tricks for removing red polish? Do y'all like to wear red? What's your favorite color to wear on your nails?
