FRIDAY!

I, for one, am so glad this is the last day of the work week!

Ok so today I have some Kleancolor lacquers to show you. These are the new neon colors for summer and they are all (almost) pretty fabulous.

I swatched some Kleancolor’s before here and here and I wasn’t all that impressed. I remember quite a few of them were really sheer. These however are almost all super opaque in two coats. A few don’t really live up to the “neon” name, but that’s ok, I forgive them.

Check them out below!

Neon Yellow

Neon Yellow is a sunny color that leans towards the warm side of yellow. But luckily for me not TOO warm, so I can still wear it. Surprisingly, there wasn’t that much of a problem with streaking on this. After two coats it settled down nicely, and was very opaque. I do classify this as neon because it’s really bright, but it’s not like those day-glo yellows you see frequently in summer collections.

G’day mates!

Alright so yesterday I showed you Zoya’s new Sparkle collection now today I’ve got Flash. This is comprised of six bright cremes.

These are definitely more “mellow” than the Sparkle collection,but that’s not to say they are boring. I happen to be someone who loves a good creme, and I wound up liking every single one. I can’t believe Zoya put out 12 colors and I like ALL of them. That’s SO rare!

The formula on these was pretty fantastic, I cannot say I had any problems at all. These were all two coaters.

Peep ‘em!

Jolene

Jolene is a bright candy colored cool pink. This is most perfect for summer, and even though it’s pink, I really like it on me.

1. How has your week been so far? Actually supremely crappy. It’s all work related so I can’t get into it, le sigh.

2. What is something a lot of people might not know about you? I cannot stand it when things touch on my dinner plate! If something is juicy and is running, I will put napkins on the plate to separate it all and sop it up.

3. What’s on your nails? Zoya Robyn.

4. What kind of earrings are your favorite (dangly, studs, etc.)? When I have longer hair I like longer, dangly earrings or bigger hoops. When I have short hair I always feel weird wearing large earrings.

5. What is your favorite type of nail polish finish? Shimmery with maybe a little duochrome.

6. If you could quit your job/school right now and do what you loved for a living, what would you be doing? I am a Gemini so I am all over the map. It would be one of these though: Blogging/writing, baking/decorating cupcakes or working with animals.

7. Milkshakes: Vanilla, chocolate or strawberry? Vanilla, but I have lactose intolerance issues so I don’t really have them anymore

8. Who are your favorite YouTube makeup people? MissChevious, pixiwoo, MakeupByTiffanyD, MakeupGeekTV, xsparkage, panacea81 &  kandeejohnson.

9. When you want to scream and pull your hair out, but it’s not appropriate, what’s your method of calming down? You see this is how my week has been. My method is to email a friend and bang out my anger on my keyboard but that doesn’t really help much!

10. Do you watch the series Breaking Bad on AMC? Yes, I’ve watched since episode 1, and it’s hands down one of the best written shows on TV. It’s as good as anything on HBO or Showtime.

Happy Tuesday!

Let’s hope today is a lot better than yesterday, which was the worst Monday since I can remember!

SOOOO as you probably already know Zoya has two new collections out for summer this year. The one I am showing today is called Sparkle, and it’s six amazingly sparkly, glittery metallics.

The formula on these was totally fantastic. I had great coverage, none were too thick or too sheer, and they dried pretty darn quickly also! Most of these I used three coats on because I am a 3-coater by nature; but you could do two.

Check them out below!

Gilda

Gilda is a bright cool pink with pink and gold shimmer. Very pretty and quite possibly one of my fav pinks now (darn it just missed my list!)
