I am looking for some advice. I have recently bought a kettle bell (6kg) and started using it. My legs in general get a lot of exercise through swimming and walking. I hate my arms with a passion and want to get able to tone them up for the summer without being too bulky (although I have been reading up and apparently women can’t get too bulky?).
How many exercises would you recommend I do per day/week to help me achieve toned arms? And what exercises would you recommend? I have been doing Triceps Extensions and the classic kettle bell swing.
Any advice would be great 

    All I can think of right now is upright rows and one arm bicep curls.

    Kettle Bell swings I mostly use my butt and quads. The arm is just stabiliztion for holding the bell. When you think about it the kettle bell goes down and you do a partial squat and then thrust your hips where all the momentum causes the bell to swing upwards... That's leg work.

    I am getting an 8kg Kettle bell and the Bob Harper DVD for my birthday in a couple of weeks so will watch the answers as have never done any kettle bell work before.

    One arm kettle bell snatch - KB from the floor to overhead with extended arm. Hard to describe accurately but i'm sure there's plenty of youtube video demos and things on google.
