Red-ical Gypsy

HEllo again for the day,


I finally did the last swatch from the BOHO collection by Color Club. This colour is called Red-ical Gypsy. So later in the week I'll just do a collective post of all the colours.

WARNING!!!
I am horrible at cleaning up red nail polish. Beware may cause nail polish nightmares.


This was inside with just my very dim lamp.

This photo was taken outside in the daylight so You can see what it looks like in natural light. Reminds me a bit of blood. A little too dark for my taste. I suck at cleaning up red anyway.


Again I'd like to remind you of my first GIVEAWAY!
Be sure to enter for a chance to win this great prize.

See you next time!
Kelly-Ann.

Shabby Drab & other news

Hi peoples,

I am so sorry I haven't been here in a few days, I promise I have a very good reason. I had exams, today was my last day, so I was busy. My nails have been naked for a few days now, also I had gone to a crawfish boil and picking those crawfish broke my thumbnail...again. I also burned my middle finger on the oven when I was making some Jerk Chicken for a pot luck.

I have also signed up on BlogLovin so you can now also follow me that way.

But on to other news... I have a swatch for you tonight and also during the week, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to do a video showing you what I got recently and presenting my contest, hopefully to draw in more readers.

Her is the swatch... 
IT is Shabby Drab by Color Club from the BOHO collection.


This is a nice colour, but personally I prefer nudes. It is a very light purple almost pastel like.



This is kind of what the colour looks like out in day light, very pretty. (sorry for the bad picture. got lazy.)

Anyway thats it for now.

See you tomorrow,
Kelly-Ann.

Earthy Angel + Future Contest

Hey everyone,

As promised here is the next swatch from the Color Club BOHO collection called Earthy Angel, which is a lovely nude colour, a little darker than the other I had done before, I suppose that's why they called it Earthy Angel rather than nude :p.


I love this colour, always love browns.


In further news, at the end of next week I will be hosting my first contest it will be USA only, or anyone with a US address for me to send the prize to. During the weekend I will be showing you what the prizes will be.

New Bohemian

Hey everyone,

I'm at polish number 3 in the Color Club Boho collection. This one is a beautiful minty colour which has really grown on me, called New Bohemian.


It went on a little streaky and it took 3 coats to get complete coverage, but still love the colour.


See you later for the last of the Spring Challenge,
Kelly-Ann.

Rad Nomad

Hi everyone,

I really like the Color Club BOHO collection and I would really like to finish a complete swatch of the collection by the end of next week the latest.

Today I did Rad Nomad which is a beautiful dark purple/gray and in dim light will look a little dark brown but still have a hue of purple.

It went on very smooth, it took 2 coats to go on fully without any transparent areas.



I also took a picture of the bottle and my nails with the flash so you can see what I meant by the different colours.


I hope you will like this collection as much as I do.

Also I wanted to announce my first give away is coming up, I am going to start it May 1st, I will show you what the prizes will be in another post tomorrow.

See you later,
Kelly-Ann.

Nomadic in Nude

Hello lovelies,

Just wanted to show you the colour I have on now. I just love this colour, It is called Nomadic in Nude and it is from the BOHO collection by Color Club.



This is the same colour taken with the flash so you can see what it looks like in harsh light.

It is just a simply beautiful colour.

Hope you love this colour as much as I do.

See you tomorrow,
Kelly-Ann.

Shiny Penny

Hi everyone,

sorry I haven't been posting any nails in a few days. I've switched computers and trying to get all my stuff transferred to my new one including my programs I use to edit. 


but anyway, I painted my nails with Nina Ultra Pro: Shiny Penny, which is a lovely brownish-bronze-y colour with a very subtle shimmer in it, that you really see in the picture with the flash. Anyway, take a look-see.

(click picture to enlarge)

This polish went on very easily, I applied 2 coats just for good measure, one coat seemed a little transparent. Fairly easy to cleanup. I used Beauty Secrets base coat and Oh So Wet! top coat, which dries quickly but does not leave that glassy shine I wanted when I bought this.

This polish is lasting longer than I expected... I'm going on to day 4 now with just one very unnoticeable chip I got when I hit my hand.

See you next time and take care,
Kelly-Ann.

Red Heart

Hi everyone,

As I said in my previous post I will be keeping it simple over the next couple weeks, mostly doing swatches and maybe the occasional simple stamp on a finger or two. But this doesn't go for my toes, so those will still be coming up.

I have also gotten better with cleaning up my nails and even better with real acetone...anyway I will elaborate on that in my next post pointing out the differences I saw.

To day I used Kleancolor: Red Heart.


I loved this colour, it is so radiant. However, I did find it a little hard to clean up, hence the reason it looks a little untidy.


I really do like this colour, which is strange for me because I don't normally like red on my nails.

That's it for now, Take care,
Kelly-Ann.

Join the "Conga Line"

Hey,

This is going to be a short one today. I decided to keep it simple for the next couple days and do simple swatches of some of the polishes I've never used. 


Today I decided on Confetti: Conga Line, which is a beautiful tone of orange with a hit of shimmer in it. I found that it went on very easily and could have only used one coat but I decided on 2. 

At first my initial idea was to do a gradient, which I had started to do on my thumb, but I didn't like it, so I ended up just staying with the one colour. I feel good keeping it simple, just for a while.

I hope you enjoyed this even though it is different from what I normally do.

P.S. Did you notice I'm getting the hang of this clean up thing? ;-)

See you later alligator,
Kelly-Ann.
