Pre Steps

KL Polish 70's Vibes Collection Pre Steps || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #klpolished #klpolish

I wanted to start something new where before I talk to you about the polishes I tell you what I do to prep my nails before the photos. For this collection I started out by removing the previous polishes with Zoya Polish Remover (8 oz. for $10 at Ulta). After that I go through the manicure steps that I was taught in cosmetology school. When I get to the cuticle removal step I use the Blue Cross Cuticle Remover (16 oz. for $5.99 at Sally’s Beauty) and for this collection I used the SuperNail Cuticle Oil (8 oz. for $3.19 at Sally’s Beauty).

During Steps

For this collection once I was done with the manicure steps I started in with the polish steps using the Formula X The System which is no longer available because Formula X has been discontinued. I start with the Cleanse on each nail and once that has dried I put on the Prime which is the base coat. I let the base coat dry for about 15 minute minutes and then go in with two coats of polish letting those each dry for about 15 to 30 minutes each. I then actually go in with part of the post step, which is coming up, and then follow up with Shine, the top coat, and let that set for about 15 minutes before heading off to take the photo.

Post Steps

For the post steps, after the second coat dries I go in with the Onyx 100% Acetone Remover and a small brush and clean up around the edges and cuticle. I usually pick this up at Walmart on the bottom shelf of the polish section. Once I’ve cleaned up the nail I go in with the top coat and AS SOON as it’s applied I give it a spray with the OPI Rapidry Polish Dryer (2.0 oz. for $10.95 at Ulta) and then make sure to let it set for about 15 minutes, as I previously stated.

After the top coat dries I go in with a little bit of Nail Butter ($24.40 from Nail Butter) in either the Lemongrass or Gardenia scent. I use this to put a bit of moisture back into my cuticle area and make it look healthy and not dried out. I actually use this in the evenings as well and love it!

KL Polish 70’s Vibes Collection: Wishbone

KL Polish 70's Vibes Collection Wishbone || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #klpolished #klpolish

Wishbone is a white gray polish in a creme finish. Wishbone is more opaque than Coconut Milk and a bit deeper as well. Wishbone went on great and looked great on the nail.

KL Polish 70’s Vibes Collection: Mozart

KL Polish 70's Vibes Collection Mozart || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #klpolished #klpolish

Mozart is a purple polish in a creme finish. Mozart is more opaque and deeper than Hug & Roll, so far we’re on track for the 70’s Vibes Collection to be just a deeper version of the Spring 2017 Collection! Mozart went on great and looked good on the nail.

KL Polish 70’s Vibes Collection: Cozy in There?

KL Polish 70's Vibes Collection Cozy In There? || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #klpolished #klpolish

Cozy in There? is a blue gray polish in a creme finish. Kathleen has said that she wants to have a blue shade in each collection and this is the 70’s Vibes Collection blue. Cozy in There? is actually my favorite blue in her collection so far! Cozy in There? went on well and looked AMAZING on the nail!

KL Polish 70’s Vibes Collection: Chloe

KL Polish 70's Vibes Collection Chloe || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #klpolished #klpolish

Chloe is an olive green polish in a creme finish. Chloe went on great and had amazing longevity.

KL Polish 70’s Vibes Collection: Prince Cornelious

KL Polish 70's Vibes Collection Prince Cornelious || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #klpolished #klpolish

Prince Cornelious is a bronze polish in a shimmer finish. Kathleen named Prince Cornelious after her dog Cornelious who is named after the Prince in Thumbelina. Prince Cornelious was opaque in one coat and actually looks it’s best in one coat. Pictured here is two coats and it really loses it’s beauty with two coats.

KL Polish 70’s Vibes Collection: Princess Penny

KL Polish 70's Vibes Collection Princess Penny || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #klpolished #klpolish

Princess Penny is a copper polish with a pearl finish. Princess Penny was also opaque in one coat and this picture is of it with one coat, I learned my lesson after the previous polish! Princess Penny is both great and bothersome at the same time. It’s great because it looks amazing in the light / sun, if you look closely at the top of the pinky you can see a bit of light flare from the polish, that is completely from the polish and was not added in editing! However, Princess Penny is bothersome because during removal the glitter in it goes EVERYWHERE; your finger, your hand, EVERYWHERE!!

KL Polish 70’s Vibes Collection Review

KL Polish 70's Vibes Collection Swatches || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #klpolished #klpolish

I think that the KL Polish 70’s Vibes Collection might be one of my favorite collections from KL Polish so far. While I don’t LOVE every polish in the collection, Princess Penny is just to much work to be an all the time polish, they were all good and I did wind up with 3 new favorites; Wishbone, Cozy in There?, and Chloe. If you’re looking for good polishes in deeper shades then you might want to give this collection a try. However, if you prefer to do your polish shopping in person instead of online then you might want to give these a skip.

      Nail Butter is amazing! I don’t know if I could switch to another cuticle balm.

    I adore Prince Cornelious – you can’t go wrong with a fiery bronze like that. I had no idea Thumbelina’s husband was called Cornelious! Now I have to know the names of all the different consorts in the fairy tales.

      The ONLY reason I knew was from the 1994 animated version of Thumbelina which had the voice of Ariel as the voice of Thumbelina. I watched it quite a few times when I was younger so when she mentioned that she named the polish after her dog who named after a character in Thumbelina I knew exactly who she was talking about lol. However, now I’m intrigued about who all the consorts are as well!

    Those last two polishes are gorgeous!!! I love that you detailed your mani steps, too! I love Blue Cross cuticle remover and Zoya Remove +!

      The mani steps is something new I wanted to do because of the Cosmetology school but also because some people feel that the steps, base coat, top coat, etc. can change how the polish performs. I want people to know what they’re getting. For example, I’ll be switching the base and top coat for the Winter 2017 collection and the remover for the Lips + Tips collection!

    I just got a new jar of Nail Butter. It’s stilly fave. Cassie, could you either do a post or give me some advice on cuticle removal? I push mine back, but that’s about it. I am afraid to cut them. What do you do? The shades in this collection don’t really remind me of the 70s all that much, but they certainly are pretty. I especially love the Prince, Princess & Chloe

      Nail Butter is amazing isn’t it! I would for sure do that for you. I’ll actually move some things around and try to get it up for next week’s Mani Monday. They didn’t really remind me of the 70’s either. In all honesty I think of pink, yellow, denim blue, brown, orange, etc. before I think of these!

        Thank you, Cassie! I don’t want you to have to change around your calendar, but I will be very happy to see the cuticle post either next Monday or any other time. xo I agree with you completely on your picks for 70s shades!

    I was sad to see Formula X get discontinued since they had a great formula and I had many polishes I liked from them. Of these polishes I like Mozart the best and now I’m in the mood to wear purple for my next manicure.

      I was sad as well! I haven’t found anything that I like as much as I like their set. There are others that come close but not as close as Formula X. Which purple are you going to go with?

    My goal this year is to prettify my nails and go out of my comfort zone which is barenaked nails. This is a nice collection of nail polish

    I think my favorite is that purple, although the bronze looks good on you too!
