Kiko ~ 421 Pearly Pink Iguana

Bright fuchsia with pink shimmer

Here’s another polish bought in London. I’m quite fond of Kiko polishes, so I was happy to bring home a few from my holiday. This one is from the LE Celebration collection, of which I bought 3 out of 10. Pretty good score, if you ask me!

Application was a breeze and I was impressed with how opaque it is. I could have gotten away with one coat, but the second once made the colour richer and even more vibrant. I was like “wow” when I looked at my fingernails: This is really a colour with an attitude. I love that!

The sun was shining, so you get to see this beauty in all its glory. Two coats, no topcoat, in direct sunlight:

If that isn’t right in your face, then I don’t know what is! Here’s another shot:

Look at that shimmer, I absolutely love that! 

I stamped on it, using a single flower design from Mash’ plate Mash35 and a no name dark purple polish called “Suzi skies in the Pyrenees”. I dotted the middle of the flower with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri “Lightening”, sealed it all up with a layer of Poshé topcoat, and I was done.

The sun went down behind a building while I was stamping, so here’s a picture out of direct sunlight:

The polish isn’t quite as vibrant, but I still think it’s gorgeous! 

Here’s one last picture of my very summery mani:

I must admit that I’m a little bit sad that Kiko isn’t available in Denmark, because I think it’s a great brand at affordable prices. But – so far I’ve managed to get my hands on pretty much what I wanted, so I guess I’ll survive :D

Do you know Kiko polishes? If yes, do you own any?
