KIKO ~ 277

Magenta packed with shimmer

I got this lovely shimmery magenta polish in a swap with sweet Elsa from “Like a Candy Shop”. Kiko isn’t sold in Denmark so I was very positively surprised to get that in a nail mail. :)

The two Kiko polishes I’ve tried so far have both had a great formula, and this one is no different. The polish just glided on easily, no balding, no streaking and no dragging on the nail. It took two easy coats to reach opacity.

If you ever get the chance to buy a Kiko polish, you totally should. They’re great, at affordable polishes. I wish I could buy them here. :)

I did my nails in the evening, so the sun wasn’t out, but here’s a pic that shows the shimmer. Two coats, no top coat:

And here’s another one!

The pics aren’t colour accurate, which is a real pain. The polish is more magenta than is shows here. And man, that shimmer!! <swoon>

I gazed at it for a couple of minutes, trying to figure out whether I should just leave the mani as it was. But you know me better than that, so even though I found it beautiful, I just had to add more to it. But what? Glitter? No, it’s glittering enough as it is. Stamping? Nah, it’d cover too much of the prettiness.

I took a silver glitter striper from NYX Ink, and made a stripe diagonally on each nail. Then I sealed it all up with a coat of Poshé top coat.

I really like this. I love the polish, and the stripe really adds something extra to it even though it's really simple. Do you like it?
