The base is incredibly sheer so this is definately a layering polish for me. It has both long stick-glitter and medium round, both types holo. Here I have only one coat, so it's not overly blingy, but gives a nice bit of oomph to PC. I think with a coat or two more it'd be a real showstopper. :-)

Kleancolor ~ Starry meteor
This is a very sheer, green based holo glitter polish. Here layered over China Glaze Paper chasing:

Kleancolor ~ Chunky holo black
This is probably the polish I had looked the most forward to of my new Kleancolor polishes. In the bottle it's a true rainbow, but on the nail I mainly got gold/orange and green flashes. This is one coat over a generous coat of China Glaze Liquid leather:
I first attempted to wear it on it's own, but it's so incredibly sheer that I'd never be happy. Application is easy, and there was no need for any major fishing expeditions. However I was rather sad that none of the blue/purple flash showed up on the nail. Anyone else tried this and managed to get all the colours?

Kleancolor ~ Grand finale
Another of Kleancolor's awesome glitters. Here layered over China Glaze's Gussied up green:
This is a really weird and unusual (for me atleast) glitter. To be honest it makes me think of a cd that has been thrown through a woodchipper. It's long, spindly silver-holo sticks in a clear base. You gotta pay a little bit of attention when applying to get the glitter pieces where you want, but it's no big hassle. I tried this over Gussied up green as I already wore it, but I'm not completely sold on the combo. I think it would be awesome over a black, or generally brighter colours. As in either go bright and colourful, or stick to plain black.
In the end it's still an awesome glitter, and I look forward to testing it over other colours aswell. :-)

Kleancolor ~ Chunky holo teal
After a couple of days wear I decided to try the Chunky holo teal over Teal marble, and here is the result. It's a holo glitter in a very sheer, slightly blue base. If this wasn't layered I don't really want to think about how many coats it would need, but it's a pretty layering polish.
I also got a slightly weird picture that really shows off the golden aspects of the holo glitter
Sorry about the tipwear, but working in a lab wearing gloves for full days really kills nailpolish. I'm just glad (and very surprised) this one didn't automatically peel after a day which is usually what happens. The top picture shows off the holo glitter in the bottle quite well too I think.

Kleancolor ~ Teal marble
I originally wanted to try the chunky holo black today, but I quickly realised I'd have to either sit for a gazillion coats or layer it over black. So that will have to wait. Instead I decided on another of the kleancolors I just got, Teal marble.
The colour is gorgeous, but what's kinda weird is that even though those pictures are pretty accurate for bright sunshine, now that I'm sitting indoors it looks a lot more green. Kinda reminds me of a melting pool at the bottom of a glacier, where just from the look of it you know the water will be freezing. It also has a slight shimmer to it. Very fine, but not really a frost. Overall, a pretty pretty polish.

Kleancolor ~ Bite me
I have to admit it, I bought this one singlehandedly due to the awesome name. However it completely bowled me over with its charm.
This reminds me of candy apples from various movies, or even the poisoned apple that (almost) kills Snow White. Above is one coat. I did an additional coat on my index finger after taking pics, and it does deepen the colour and make it more "3D", but it can absolutely be worn as a one-coater.
I see a lot of people complain about the smell of the Kleancolor polishes, but personally I didn't notice it much. May however have something to do with using solvents at work every day ;-)

My first Kleancolor polishes :-)
Wooohooo. Came home today to a big envelope in the mailbox. 13 lovely polishes!! Prepare for picture overload:
The holo's:
The "semi-holo stick-glitters":
The "birthday" glitters:
The metallic glitters:
And finally, the "regular" polishes:
I'm currently wearing Bite me. Post coming up tomorrow hopefully, as I seriously doubt I'll get a decent shot now that daylight is gone. Any other you'd like to see pictures of? :-)
