I want to get out of my current habit of just buying nail polish for the sake of it, so I'm going to try and swatch as many of my untrieds as possible. First up is the Kleancolor haul I wrote about here, I'm going to do one every day for 12 days. Here's the first one - City Never Sleeps. I swatched it mainly over Fearne black.
A little word of warning about Kleancolor - the smell. They really are strong, so if you're using them, do it outside or by an open window. It doesn't put me completely off, but I don't think they'd be my first choice of polish from my stash to be honest. I don't know if this one was particularly bad or if they all are, I'll let you know. The colour payoff is fantastic - I swatched this one on its own on my thumb (three coats) and over black (one coat black, two coats glitter) on my fingers.

I really like the colour of the glitter - it's a mix of pink, aqua and gold, and it builds up really well. It is gritty but a topcoat sorts that out in seconds.
That's the first one done, on to the next one tomorrow!
Have a great Rebecca Black day,
This polish is gorgeous! I can't wait to see the rest of your swatches x
