Kleancolor Nail Lacquer - #4 White

I don't intend for this to be a strictly nail blog but I happened to be reviewing 2 nail polishes I've been using and now here come another one lol..enjoy!



Description (on Amazon)Kleancolor nail polish featuring long lasting pretty colors with new bottle design. It is pretty, it is good quality, yet affordable price.

Packaging
It is package in a decent 15 ml bottle. Black curvy bottle top and clear glass bottom. The top reminds me of something from Anna Sui's, the princessy type.The brush is pretty big, quite difficult to use as it's not as flexible as some nail polish I know, but I think it's acceptable.

Color Selection
Many. This particular one I'm reviewing is in the basic white color, the kind you use for french manicure / pedicure.

How to Apply
I use white polish mostly for french manicure or part of nail art, but that requires tutorials. So, I guess just like any nail polish, prepare your nail with base coat. Then thinly apply Kleancolor Nail Lacquer - #4 White once, wait til dry, then another coat, wait til dry. Apply top coat for longer lasting chip resistance.

Ingredients
Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, Ophthalmic Anhydride/Trimellitic, Anhydride/Glycol Coplymer, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Steralkonium Hectorite, Camphor Benzophenone 1 [+/ Red Iron Oxide (C177491), Titanium Dioxide (C177891), D&C Black No 2 (C177266), Ferric Ferrocyanide (C177510), D&C Red No 7 Calcium Lake (C115850), FD&C Yellow No 5 Aluminium Lake (C119140), D&C Red No 34 Calcium Lake (C115880)]

Coverage
One thin swipe streaky on me, I think it almost always happen on creamy polish (except ones from my favorite Mavala) but I somehow prefer this Kleancolor polish more that O.P.I. (forgot what's the white O.P.I. I have is called). For a french it will do well, the color is thick enough in one swipe but two is better.

Texture
Creamy and quite easy to apply. For a white polish, this one is one of the best I've used so far. I think it helps a lot in doing french.

Spreadability
Easy. If there are some bad strokes, it will blend out quite well when dry. I like it.

Finish
Creamy, shiny finish. But for shinier look you should add top coat.

If you apply very thinkly like I suggest, it is quite quick to dry, about 15 minutes (in air conned room) but I like to let it stay untouched for at least 30-45 minutes just to be safe. I hate to re-do a french.

My General Rating
Kleancolor is one of those cheap range polish that works just better than you expected. I have tried some of their colors and for the price, I think it's worth it. Some disadvantage is that the paint from the bottle top can somehow left behind on the screw so the screw will have some black flakes, it luckily didn't go into the content, cos it would be a disaster in white polish. I don't like the super strong smell either, but almost all brand smell toxic. I wish someday someone could create nice smelling polish, or maybe I will haha..

Kleancolor has so many color choices that makes you cry to pick just some (I know I almost did lol..). I like the performance, and it's a good addition to my collection. I would buy somemore when available.

Overall Rating
3.7 out of 5. It is good for french mani/pedicure.

Price
IDR 24k
