Revlon Desire and Klassicolor Fuchsia Glitter

I have swatched this color before, but revisited it for our series of breast cancer awareness manicures.  Revlon Desire is a sheer jelly that dries semi-matte.  It's a little patchy so I applied 3 coats.



As a topcoat I used another one of the strange Klassicolor glitters that I got from a friend that works at Walgreens.  It's called simply Fuchsia Glitter and its a pink base with small pink and silver glitter and some larger hex silver glitters.  The glitter is hard to apply and get even and tends to be thick and goopy.  It does give it some sparkle though!

Klassicolor Red Sparkle

I frequently stalk my local Walgreens looking for new colors and limited editions and have gotten to know the staff there. Recently, I went in and was told by my go-to nail polish associate of a new brand of lacquer that a local salesman was trying to get them to market. She showed me the card with color swatches and a few samples - pretty colors, lots of variety. I snapped a couple quick photos of the bottles and came home to search online to see if I could find these polishes anywhere. I found a similar brand with a similar name - Kleancolor. The bottles are even similar. I don't know if these brands are associated or not. Actually I know very little about this lacquer other than it was a complimentary sample given to me for my review - so I cannot comment as to its ingredients (whether it's 3-free or cruelty-free).

So on to the review. This polish is a deep cherry red in the bottle with red and gold microglitter. It applied well and the consistency was smooth, not too thick. It was opaque in 2 coats. On the nail it appears to be a blood red jelly base with mostly red microglitter - can't really tell there is gold glitter in it. The surface dried slightly bumpy from the glitter. I think this would be easily fixed with a top coat (which I didn't apply because I only wanted to swatch it). The poilsh had an unusual smell - not significantly more offensive than most other polishes but slightly stronger. Overall I really liked this polish.
