Today I’ve got some of Kleancolor’s more sparkly, glittery polishes for your enjoyment. I actually liked these a lot more than the ones in the previous post because these gave me what I expected judging from the way it looked in the bottle.

No formula issues here whatsoever though the placement of the larger glitter chunks, which you will see, can be tricky sometimes. Check them out!

Pearl Blue

Pearl Blue is pretty ocean blue base with light blue and silver micro glitter. I love this color, love the finish and have just one complaint. It’s a little sheer, this was three coats and you can still see the whites of my nail tips. One more coat could solve this issue though.

It’s a grey, foggy dreary Monday morning in SF today. Hopefully some of these cool polishes from Kleancolor will cheer those of us up who live around here!

Kleancolor is a cosmetic brand that is new to me. They have been around for about 15 years and make a variety of products such as eye makeup, concealer, foundation, blush, etc. They have just over 100 different color of nail polish in a variety of finishes such as sheer, pearl, glitter and cremes. They also have 22 colors of polish used for nail art that have small fine brushes for precision painting.

Today I am reviewing five of the sheer/pearl/creme colors and tomorrow I will have four glitters for you. Peep em out! Oh and as a side note, I made these pics really large. Let me know if you prefer them this big, which can mean slower download time, or smaller like they normally are.

Sweet Purple

Sweet Purple is a very nice lavender pearl that flashes pink and blue depending on the lighting. This is very sheer and even after three coats I was hoping for a little more color payoff. The formula was really nice, no issues to report.

As promised the highly anticipated Part III of LA Girl Rock Star nail polish. Just kidding, I have no idea if this is highly anticipated or not, but I was trying to be dramatic.

These are all super glittery and fanciful. They are all pretty sheer so be prepared for that, but all would make most excellent layering colors as most glitters do. Have I mentioned how much I love the bottles? Well I do, they feel “weighty” in my hand and its somehow soothing. Anyhoo, peep ‘em!

Double Platinum

Friday is finally here folks and its about time! Today I’ve got Part deux of my LA Girl Rockstar polishes for you.

These are more medium toned colors (with one exception) as opposed to Part I which were all the vampies. Only one of these totally stood out for me, but they were all nice (again with one exception).

The formula was spot on, no problems whatsoever, though all were three coaters to get maximum opacity. Check them out!

Head Banging

Head Banging is the stand out color of this set for me and I think probably for most of you I’m guessing. This is a gorgeous blue/green base with green, blue and silver micro glitter. I always call these kinds of colors “mermaid colors” because they just totally remind me of the sea or what I imagine mermaid scales would look like. Love it! This was three coats.

Gondola is one of two new polishes in Chanel’s collection called Venice for Fall 2009. I didn’t order the other one called Intermezzo because I knew it was going to be way too light and a huge waste of moolah for me and judging from the pics I have seen online, I was correct!

Having said that though, I was a wee bit disappointed with this one also. The promo pics made it look like a much darker wine colored polish, but really, it’s a medium red. Peep it peeps!
