Testing Polishes and Sugar Coating Them



Well I took the “Sleepy Black Holo” manicure off. I wasn’t really a fan and as I keep saying, I just wanted to play around with more colors.  I dug through my bag of polishes and found a few I thought might be interesting. So naturally, since I wasn’t sure how they would look on, I did my usual of painting each nail a different color of interest.

The four colors I chose to test this time were :  


Kleancolor #45 Copper
Kleancolor #76 Jewelry Red
Kleancolor #47 Gold Bright
Kleancolor #44 Americano

Each nail in the picture is only one coat of polish which is fantastic. The Americano and the Gold Bright would look better with an extra coat I think, but the Copper and Jewelry Red don’t need it.


When I first saw the Jewelry Red in the bottle I thought I would never use it. I wasn’t a huge fan of the color, but now that I have seen it on my nails I do! It really reminds me more of a deep red metallic. 

I knew I loved the copper as soon as I saw it. These are very pearly colors. I am very happy I have them in my collection.

But I couldn’t stop there. So I added a layer of Kleancolor #296 Sugar Cravings on top of the Jewelry Red. Very interesting! The Sugar Cravings Polish is labeled as being “3D” and it is. When I first applied it, it reminded me of Rock Candy when I was a kid, only a much tinier version. It looks bright and sparkly when I first applied it. After awhile it slightly took on the color of the polish, which makes sense I think because the crystals are kind of see through. But it looked really nice.



This image below is a weird angle I know… but I did that specifically so you could see the 3D of the Sugar Cravings Polish.


The pros and cons… well it looks cool but because it sticks up and is slightly jagged, it can catch on things, like your clothes etc, depending on the material. But a thick top coat might resolve that problem. I haven’t tried that yet. I will update if and when I do.



Now to decide which color and what kind of manicure I want to do. Decisions, Decisions!
