Recent Nail Polish Acquisitions (AKA I Buy Way Too Much Polish)

So I drank a bottle of champagne last night- by myself, for no reason. Haha, how sad does that sound? I rarely drink and this bottle of champagne had been in my refrigerator since New Year's. I was just waiting for a special occasion. I got tired of waiting and decided Tuesday evening was special occasion enough. So I drank the bottle, got really happy, danced around to the Gangnam Style song, got sleepy, laid down and read a book, then got totally sober and awake and decided to write this post.

Since I decided to write this post at such an ungodly hour I'm just going to show bottle pics of some of my more recent nail polishes purchases. I'm sure there have been more than this... somewhere in the abyss that is my nail polish "storage" (aka random boxes stashed around my room) now that my Helmer is full.

Butter London- No More Waity Katie, Knackered, Wallis, All Hail the Queen

Icing- Lipstick & Lovers, Forget You, Eenie Greenie Miney Mo, Mr Right Now (not as neon as it looks)

Barielle Falling Star, OPI Just Spotted the Lizard, KleanColor Chunky Holo Black, Nicole by OPI For Gold Times Sake, OPI Fly, Barielle Buddha-ful

Hits Mari Moon- Artsy, Daring, Chameleon, Unconventional

Zoya- Fei Fei, Frida, Anastasia, Daul, Zara, Jules, Song, Bevin

This was my order from the recent buy one get one free Zoya sale. I got the sugar scrub and the polish remover free.

NOTD- Sparkly Purple Goodness

So, continuing my purple theme lately here is one of my favorite layering combos I've worn lately. Okay, this is more blue that purple, but I still loved it. If you don't have any KleanColor polishes you need to rectify that immediately. They may smell terrible (yes, even worse than most polish) and may need to be thinned, but they are dirt cheap, have a huge selection (about 250 colors) and some of the colors are GORGEOUS. Like this listing on eBay- you get to pick any 12 colors for $16.85 with free shipping. I highly recommend the metallic series (157-168) and I plan on swatching all 12 of them soon.

Anyway, someone recommended KleanColor Holo Chrome to me and I don't regret picking it up at all. It is neither a chrome or a holo incidentally, but small holo glitter in a indigo blue jelly-ish base. I layered it over a really pretty purple, Icing's Forget You which is medium dark purple with blue and pink shimmer flecks. I haven't worn it by itself but it seems opaque enough to cover in a few coats. It dries a bit gritty so I used two coats of topcoat.

This two coats of Icing Forget You under 1 coat of KleanColor Holo Chrome with base and top coats.

Do you have any KleanColors? What are your favorites. Another of my favorites is Chunky Holo Black (also not a holo).
