Kiko ~ 402 Jewel Pink
Pink linear holo
I was very pleased to get my hands on the Kiko holos! There are four of
them, and I got all four – I wonder how long they’ll last :D
The formula is great like it’s been in all the Kikos I’ve tried. I used
my regular base coat and had no problems with dragging or anything. It took two
easy and fast drying coats to make it look like this – there’s no top coat yet:
The pictures are taken in the sun, which definitely makes this polish look fantastic. I love those rainbows on my nails!
But here’s why this polish probably isn’t a keeper: A picture taken in
my light box:
The holo is still there and visible, but out of the sun the polish shows a tone that clashes with my skin tone: Salmon!
I wanted to make this mani really girly, and painted some hearts on it
with polish. Unfortunately I picked the wrong polish for it; I chose Isadora’s
Ancient Ruby, which is a dark burgundy. It turned out almost black on my nails,
which definitely wasn’t the look I was after!
The polishes I used:
I love a good pink polish, but I can only wear it if it stays away from the coral tone that doesn’t look very good on me. So I am very sad to admit that this is the first Kiko polish that ends up in the box of shame :/
Did you jump on the holo-wagon yet? Or did you jump off it already?

Well, it's personal preference, but I don't think this polish clashes badly with your skin. :)
ReplyDeleteYou don't? That's actually really nice to hear, thank you! :)
DeleteNice! I love the design.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I'm glad to hear that.
DeleteI have this too and don't like how it looks without the holo effect. Such a shame.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think so too. I bought all four in the series, and I really only like the blue and the black :)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous holo! Even with the dark hearts this manicure looks really cute! <3
ReplyDeleteYou don't know how glad it makes me! Thank you :)
DeleteKiko polishes are the greatest of all the brands I have tried, and this holo is great too! And I like little hearts so much :)
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you so much!! Kiko are indeed really good polishes, I'm a fan of them too :)
DeleteThis is so pretty! I love the shade and the holo effect! Hehe... I actually think this color doesn't look bad against your skin at all. ;-)

I'm actually surprised to hear that it doesn't look as bad as I thought it did. Perhaps I need to be more open minded ;)
DeleteI like this and I am not a huge fan of the pink tones
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty
I also do not think it is bad against your skin
Oh wow, that's really cool to hear. I might keep this one then :)
