Coolcos ~ 02
Dark bottle green with
lighter green shimmer
My boyfriend decided to buy me some polishes last time we were in the
mall together. He fell for this deep green shimmer and actually bought it even
though I had said it would probably be too dark for me.
Many of you have probably not even heard about Coolcos. It’s a
relatively new Danish brand, which produces both polishes and other sorts of
makeup. They have quite a large range of polishes, all of which have in common
that they smell really weird.
Anyway, back to this particular polish. The formula is really good and
it only takes one coat to achieve full opacity. Drying time is average.
And I am really glad that he bought this one, even though I said no.
It’s really pretty. This, sweet
girls, is one coat, and no topcoat:
How’s that for a pretty green?
This shimmer makes this really special. I think I’ll try and slip in a
couple of mixing balls – that way I hope to mix some more of that delicious
shimmer that’s sticking to the insides of the bottle!
I decided to pair it up with a flakie from Up Colors called “Banho de
mar!”. I got that at a polish swapping event I joined. We were 7 girls and it
was great fun! You should try it if you ever get the chance.
Anyway, I applied one coat over the dark green and topped it with a
layer of topcoat, and here’s the final result:
I love the blue and green flakies over the dark green!
Oh yes, I like this a lot! Later that day we went outside and painted
the back door in the yard, and then that lovely mani was ruined. Oh well… Life!
Number of coats: 1
Drying time: Average
Drying time: Average
Finish: Fantastic shimmer

Overall impression: I love
that it’s a one coater and and that the shimmer isn’t shy. The smell is weird,
but that’s a thing I can easily live with.
Buy again: Yes
OH I like the beautiful shimmer in it, and it's even more beautiful with the flakies.
ReplyDeleteI have 2-3 Cool-cos, I think they smell rather bad...
The smell isn't exactly like roses, I don't understand why the smell of polish is so different from brand to brand :)
DeleteGreat mani, I like it a lot. The green and the flakies go well together. Great flakies.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I use flakies way too seldom - I really like them!
DeleteWow this colour is really nice! And one coater - awesome! Hehe your boyfriend is so sweet :-) It's good when the other halves understand our interest :-) Lol mine knows the difference between a W7 and OPI bottle and can spot a CG hehe ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with flakies <3
I told my boyfriend about your boyfriend and showed him what a W7 bottle looks like, and he was impressed! :) <3
DeleteWow a stunning color! I really love it and I'm a big fan of dark colors! The flakie really compliments it nicely and makes it look even more gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to hear that someone likes the combo shown, so thank you so much :)
DeleteGorgeous combination!
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
