Swatch: Kleancolor Fuschia Glitter

I am determined to get swatches out there for these wonderful Kleancolor polishes! I hope you like them as much as I do :)

Today's polish is Kleancolor Fuschia Glitter. It has large holographic hex glitters mixed in with smaller holographic hex glitter and even smaller holographic square glitters. All in a see-through fuschia base.

The photos shows Kleancolor Fuschia Glitter over a darker base to really bring out those holographic glitter particles!


And, one of my new favorite things to do: extreme closeup :)

Have a great day!

Swatch: Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuschia

Here is a swatch of Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuschia over Kleancolor Red Alert. I really like how this turned out looking very bright and cheery.



Here is an extreme closeup to show some of the color shifts, blurry.



And here is a photo showing my nails at an angle to get another view of how pretty this polish is:

Swatch: Kleancolor Diamond Fuschia

Kleancolor Diamond Fuschia is a very packed glitter polish. It has both silver glitter and pink glitter particles in it, giving it the fuschia appearance. The glitter particles are really small so they go together to create a nice overall glitter effect.


The photo shows it over Kleancolor Neon Sapphire, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite polishes.
Have a great day!

Diamond Candles

Have you heard of the newest thing in candles? Diamond Candles is not just a candle, but also includes a ring worth at least $10!

It is a 100% soy wax candle that has a ring glued to the inside in a little baggie wrapped in foil. This protects the ring so it doesn't get damaged while burning the candle. What a concept!

The creator wanted to give more than a candle as a gift and figured he would put a ring in the wax so the recipient received 2 gifts instead of one. Because it's such a novel idea, he started Diamond Candles and now they have really taken off :)






I burned Cinnamon Pinecone, which has a great Christmas-y smell to it. You wait until the wax goes down low enough to get the ring out and then take tweezers, or in my case a spoon, to get it out while the wax is still melted. That makes it easier than digging around and getting wax everywhere.

Here's a closeup of the ring I found:

 It doesn't have any markings, so probably only a $10 ring, but there are other rings worth much more! Check out their facebook page to see photos from other people as well.
I've bought more of these candles and enjoy burning them and getting the extra surprise of a ring too.
If you're interested in trying these candles out, go on over to sneakpeeq where you will get $10 off for signing up at this link. The candles are $25, but you can get them for $15 with that link.

Hope you enjoy and have a great day!

Tipwear Test: AEngland Beauty Never Fails

Beauty Never Fails is one of the most recent colors from AEngland. It is part of the Heavenly Quotes collection.

To some, this may be just another green. But, if really does have a uniqueness all its own.

AEngland Beauty Never Fails
It is a dark forest green with lighter green glass flecks. As you move your hand you can see these flecks really shine in the light. I like the play between dark and light on this one.

I decided to test the tipwear on it. I did not use a basecoat or a topcoat. This is 2 coats on my natural nails.
After about 5 days or so, there was noticeable tipwear. But I think that I may be one of the only ones to notice that.

 As you can see, nothing too bad at all.

Now, about a week and a half and then yes, there is considerable wear. The big chips occurred on that last day. Luckily, it was time to change it so I can try other nail looks. But this is definitely a keeper!!
