Kleancolor?.............NOT!

So today's post is about a new brand to me, or so I thought! One day when I was getting off of work, some guy put out a table full of nail polish on the streets for $2 a bottle. And in NYC, there's always fold out tables full of things people are trying to sell, whether it be jewelry, sun glasses, scarves, t-shirts, cell phone cases, etc. So this was so new to me seeing someone sell nail polish on the street. I thought I bought Kleancolor but when I was swatching these yesterday on a nail wheel I looked at the bottle and said what the hell is Klassicolor?! LOL. But I looked online and the colors are the exact same as Kleancolor, right down to the number and name.


I picked these 3 out so fast the guy was so surprised haha! I guess my nail polish browsing skills came in handy! My favorite is Aurora (pictured left) which is the first bottle I grabbed =)

below is a picture of the bottles, LOL.

nail wheel swatches, YAY!
so here is the names & number of layers going from left to right
• Aurora #26 - light barbie pink base with iridescent round & star glitters - 2 layers
• Blue Satin #37 - dark blurple base with silver shimmer and strand glitters - 3 coats (could do 2 also)
Holo Blue #135 - light blue with dispersed holographic shimmer (slightly) - 2 coats



Hope you all enjoyed and happy polishing :)

  1. Umm...wow. LOL The colors are pretty, though. And for 2 bucks, you can't really go wrong.

  2. I actually saw a whole rack of non-Kleancolors at a store downtown (that also sold Kleancolors) and the sales assistant told me it was by the same company, but with better formula. The bottles - like the ones in your post - were only slightly different, but the colors were exactly the same. Can't remember the name though.

  4. Megan: LOL I know! I didn't even realize until I was going to swatch ^____________^;;

    ABOP: Really? Because when I was swatching, it kinda smelled bad coming from the bottle compared to other brands that I've used while swatching. :X

    Pan: I know :) I'm pretty happy they are exactly the same thing as Kleancolor.. or what it seems on the website haha.

  9. How funny! I just got off the phone with my cousin in NYC and she said, "I am looking at this guy selling nail polish here on the sidewalk for $2. I thought of you. You want me to buy some and send it to you?"

    I said yes...She is picking and choosing and told me it's a surprise. Can't wait!

    The colors you got look wonderful.
