Kardashian Kolors (Pic Heavy)

I recently picked up some of the Kardashian Kolors from Shoppers Drug Mart, Some were on sale most were bought with my Shoppers Points. A serious perk of having a Shoppers Master Card is, you earn Optimum Points super quick! I always wait for their bonus points events to cash mine in.. That way I get 200$ worth of stuff for 100$ worth of points!! So here are some of the polishes I got with all my points...

Nubar Sparkle Swatches Part 1

 Nubar Sparkle Collection: There are eight polishes in this collection some have a tinted base but most are glitter suspended in a clear base. I got these on sale at Winners and they only had these 5 colours. I am pretty happy with the ones I got but  Petunia Sparkle and Sky Sparkle are 2 others I would like to own.

Fire Sparkle is multiple shades of red glitter in a sheer red base. It shows slightly more orange than I had expected on the nails. I did 2 coats and it was pretty opaque but with 3 I think I would have seen the red a lot more.

Star Sparkle is holographic and silver glitter in a clear base. I love this one the most! It sparkles and shines in the light I could not stop looking at it. I did 3 coats to get good opacity but it would also look great with one coat layered over another polish.

Blurry Shot to show off the stunning holo glitter! I cannot get enough of this polish, I took about a million pictures of it. I wish I had gotten a sunlight picture because it is beyond awesome in the sunlight. 

I did these swatches in the evening so no natural light to compare them in but boy were they pretty with flash. 

Part 2 to follow soon!

A Summer Neon!

More China Glaze, are you surprised yet, I don`t generally go for Neons and I am not ordinarily a huge fan of pink. Which is kind of funny, because in high school I was obsessed with all things pink and bright. I LOVED pink everything. Must be a teenager thing. But, this pink is pretty cool and I may have to add a few more pinks to my world, they look pretty good on me

. China Glaze Pink Voltage- A neon pink that dries with a pearly matte finish, which is not what I was expecting from a neon. All are taken indoors, I mainly do most of my mani`s and swatches in the evenings after G has gone to bed. 

What is your Favourite summer-y Pink? I may have to try a few more before summer ends.

I went a little overboard with my new LOVE affair with China Glaze. ::Blushes:: I am still not satisfied and will have to buy MORE! I think, wait I know I have a bad case of Collection OCD. 

I don`t have time for more to post tonight but I have some new swatches coming up this weekend. Stay tuned.

A follow up: Layering with Luxe and Lush

 China Glaze Pelican Gray- Anchors Away Collection Spring 2011. At first glance this appears to be a plain and simple pale gray (cool toned), but it actually has a very pale white shimmer to it. The shimmer really gives it a little something special. Very pretty- totally office appropriate and very sophisticated.  I did a base coat, 2 coats of Pelican Grey and top 2 photos have 1 coat SV, bottom photo is without SV. I think the shimmer is best seen without SV on.

Indoor with flash.

As promised in my last post here is China Glaze Luxe and Lush layerd over the above Pelican Gray! I really like how this turned out. I will likely try layer L&L over many different polishes!

Indoor without flash on. 

Indoor with flash on, I love this iridescent flakie!

And it is even more beautiful outside in the sun!

In natural light

In direct sunlight the sparkle is amazing, it catches and dances in the light so much, I could not stop looking at it.
