Kleancolor ~ Blue
eyed girl
Dark blue
jelly with blue glitter and hexagons
Kleancolor make a lot of pretty polishes, no doubt
about that. But there’s one thing that puzzles me, and that’s how different the
formulas are from one polish to the other. Some of them are a dream to work
with, and others are just living hell.
Blue eyed girl is such a polish (the living hell
variety). It’s very difficult to apply, both because the jelly is so thick but
also because the hexagons are curly instead of flat. That means that you have
to manoeuvre the brush around to spread them evenly onto your nail. It is
pretty opaque though, I only needed two coats to reach the desired opaqueness.
Here’s two coats, and one coat of Poshé top coat.
I really like the extraordinary depth in this polish. It’s rather bumpy though…
However, pretty as it is, this polish dries *very,
very* slowly; in fact so slow that I decided to use my China Glaze “Fast Freeze
Quick Dry”, which I bought by mistake and hardly ever use. It’s amazing stuff,
though - it really does dry all the layers of polish, as if by magic. My mani certainly
wouldn’t have survived the evening without that!
Later that evening I applied an extra layer of top
coat, to smooth out the surface completely. I quite like it, but it’s tricky to
work with.
Beware
though! This took two people half an hour to get off my nails again. It
took two times the foil method, and then we ended up scraping the rest of the hexagons off. *faint*

The polish looks so pretty :) I wear glitters alot, so the removal wouldnt bother me.
ReplyDeleteI wear glitter a lot as well, and usually I just take the time and patience, but this one was *really* a challenge. :D
Deleteaww such a shame the application was a pain because it is stunning x
ReplyDeleteThank you - I received so many compliments for this mani! Xx
DeleteThis is gorgeous! I was thinking I'd order it next time I bought Kleancolors- until I read about your removal process! I think I'll be avoiding this one!
ReplyDeleteI think you should reconsider. Sometimes it's just worth the extra work. Just as long as you know from begin with, you'll be fine. :)
DeleteNovra den er pæn, hvor er den fra?
ReplyDeleteHar du prøvet neglelak fjerneren fra Deborah Lippmann, som hedder the stripper? Skulle være rigtig godt til at fjerne glimmerlak, men det billigste jeg kunne finde en flaske til var 150,- kr med levering på Amazon. Dyrt! Så har bestilt en prøve på eBay til 10,- kr. Så må beg overveje om den store flaske skal indkøbes når jeg har prøvet det :)
150 kroner for en neglelakfjerner?! O__o Det lyder helt vildt! :D Så nej, den har jeg ikke prøvet. Jeg bruger som regel den fra Matas - jeg bruger jo ret meget af det, såååå... :D
DeleteJeg mener, at jeg købte denne her fra beautijoint.com - det er en amerikansk side, så vær opmærksom på told osv.
Vil lige tjekke det ud :-) Seriøst hvis det viser sig at den prøve jeg har bestilt hjem bare er det mest geniale... Så kunne jeg godt overveje det.. Skal teste den på den vildeste omgang glimmer ;-) Bruger også sindsygt meget, men bruger til gengæld den fra Sally Hansen. de har den også i Matas... Synes ikke den er så hård ved hænderne :-)
DeleteOkay, jeg glæder mig til at høre hvordan den er :)
DeleteI øjeblikket bruger jeg en, jeg købte i Ungarn. Den fungerer faktisk helt fint, var selvfølgelig vildt billig, og dufter helt overvældende. Den kan umuligt indeholde acetone. :D
Altså mener hvor du har købt den henne? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the base blue color but I am not a glitter fan. Sucks that all the formulas are different!,
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's weird with the formulas. Some of them are just perfect to apply, and others just horrible!
DeleteVery pretty, but perhaps not worth it due to the hard application?
ReplyDeleteAlmost not worth it, and it'll probably take quite a while before I wear this again. But man... the prettiness... and the looks people give your nails when you wear it... :D
DeleteThis looks soooo amazing! Too bad it's a such a pain =/
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I haven't worn it since back then :'/
