Franken-free Friday: A Couple Kleancolors
Happy Friday!
I have a couple Kleancolors that I just bought recently to show you. First off, I must say that I absolutely love their new bottle design. I’m partial to square shaped bottles, but these are really pretty. I have a modest collection of Kleancolors, and have always been pleased with the application & wear on them. Plus, they have really cool colors. One word of warning…they STINK to high heaven! Very chemical-y smelling…so make sure to open a window.
I purchased these from an ebay store, because I was only buying a few. Cherryculture.com also has a lot of Kleancolors, not to mention a ton of other goodies from NYX and such, and I usually order there when I’m making a fairly big order. This first one, I thought for sure was a misprint in the listing. They had it listed as “Vikini Green“, while Kleancolor’s site says “Bikini Green” (which makes more sense). But low and behold…when I got it….
Yup, that clearly says “Vikini Green”! Maybe I just got a misprinted one, but that’s alright. I think it’s silly, and it reminds me of my friend Vikki…so it’s all good. Anyway, here’s VG…
Looooooooove! This is what I’d call a neon-pastel. It’s very bright, but still has that soft, creamy look to it. This is two coats, and was perfect and streak free.
The other color I have to show you today is Neon Purple. Not a terribly fun name, but what it lacks in the creativity department it makes up for by what is inside the bottle. Again, two coats and it came out flawless. I hate photographing purples, because no mater what lighting/settings I use, they never come out 100% accurate. This one is a tad less blue in real life.
I was positive this was another neon creme, but I noticed later on it has a very subtle secret shimmer to it!
Thanks for stopping by…have a great weekend & don’t forget to check back tomorrow to see who won the Del Sol giveaway!

*snorts* Vikini. Love the typo, love the colour. And the sneaky shimmer in Neon Purple is amazing.

They sell Kleancolor at a local beauty supply store. I have a few but the brushes always give me issues. What is your take on the brushes? Any problems with them?
May 14, 2010 at 8:44 PM
OMG I have the same color with the same name. It’s by a brand called Santee, and the name is of course Vikini Green. Its weird because Santee also has a square-ish bottle

Kleancolor must have issues with mixing up the letters “B'” and “V” because I just bought a color called Covalt from them-yes, a dark metallic blue. Oh, those wacky foreigners! 😉

Thanks everyone!
I didn’t have any issues with the brushes any of mine, new or old. But it wouldn’t be the first time a polish company had a batch of wonky brushes out there! 😛
That is too funny about the V’s and B’s!

I just found your blog a few days ago, good job btw =), anyway I have “Vikini Green” too only it’s by Santee not Kleancolor… they must be owned by the same people? I actually think it’s the brightest polish I own!

I love the vikini green! I live in canada and KleanColour is not available in it. Do you mind having a Vikini green giveaway in the summer? (since it is like a summer colour) plz try and do this. I can’t even order it because it is in american dollars. Plz do a giveaway, and try to give me one. I would really appriciate it. Thanks

Wow Lily. Asking for a giveaway, telling her what to give away, and then asking to win?! You’re a little ray of sunshine aren’t you?
