Kleancolor Chunky Black Holo

I've fallen in love with the brand Kleancolor recently. I ordered a bunch of colors off of Ebay after I seen some wonderful swatches on Tumblr, and had to get my hands on them. One of which was this gorgeous Chunky Black Holo... it reminds me quite a bit of flaky polishes like Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure and Essie's Shine of the Times but instead of flakes it's larger and smaller glitters. It's also not really my idea of a holo but it is still beautiful none the less.

I started by painting my nails two layers of a black polish. (Here I'm using Pure Ice)

I added a thick layer of the Holo and this is the result.

At an angle you can see a lot more green.

In the bottle you can see some gorgeous blue reflects that don't tend to show up on the nail in most lights.

I also picked up a few more glitter polishes I can't wait to swatch, so far loving this brand!

Caviar Nails Inspired

Hey guys, so I've been seeing this "Micro bead manicure" everywhere and I've been wanting to try it ever since. I already had some micro beads in a bunch of different colors that I bought from Ebay a while back and I hardly used so I decided to try it out today.

So here is how I achieved this awesome manicure.
First I'm using these colors of micro beads and as a base color I'm using China Glaze's Pink Underground.

Apply one coat of the nail polish you're going to be using for the look.

Use something really small to mix the beads in, I'm using the lid to a hair spray.

Paint another layer of nail polish and pour the mixed beads onto the nail, filling in all the gaps.

Apply a top coat to just the tips of the nails.

And that's it! It's actually really simple and didn't take as long as I thought it would. I absolutely love the look of it!
