KIKO 484 Review

Good morning ladies,

Being a student is hard in UK, especially when you are working mum and a student. However I think I do great so far. Just need to study hard to pass my exams next months.

Will make several posts today, but short just to show you my last products and nails I have done.

Kiko is great Italian brand cosmethics, which I love. I bought several new polishes. There is one of them.

 
Lovely  peach colour with glitter in it. Applied in two coats, dry not so quick, but not so slowly.Lasts long.

Peachy Colour Cupcake

Hello again from me!

My second post for today will be dedicated to my new decoration, which I already have for 3 days on my nails ( and getting bored of it).
 
I painted in two coats my nails with the lovely peach colour polish form KIKO Cupcake 649, which I bought recently. Wow every time we go to Westfield, Stratford I visit KIKO store and get something new. This time to be honest even was not thinking of going there but straight after we entered the shopping mall my son said "Look! KIKO store!"
So they have new edition sand polishes CUPCAKE. There are at about 7-8 new shades, but I just bought one




There are orange bits in it, which gives different look of the sand lacquer. Just to remind this type polishes DONT REQUIRE TOP COAT, otherwise the effect will be ruined.







Just on one of my nails I have done lovely flower with acrylic paints and sealed it with Seche Vitte top coat.

St Valentines Nails

Happy St Valentines!

This post will be dedicated to two valentine designs I made yesterday.

 The first one is on artificial nails(extension). After the base coat, I sponged the red polish Barry M Hi - Jelly edition Blood Orange 322 onto the nails and then cover with glittery top coat. All the drawings are hand painted with acrylic paints.


 
The second mani you see here is on natural nails. Silver polish is 2 True Pro Sequins, applied in two coats and the until still wet placed heart glitters and sealed with Poshe top coat. On the ring nail and thumb I made V - shape French and drew a heart with the same colour polish, which is KIKO Laser Nail Lacquer 432 - again in two coats. Added some glitter on the smile line and sealed with |Poshe top coat.

Roses

Hello!

 
I didn't really have time to post here, but now I am back with some new decorations. Some of them I didn't like but....
Anyway lets see the first one
 I painted the nails in shimmery red, which I really love. The nail polish is from  KIKO Laser Nail Lacquer 432. For the thumb and ring nails I used other KIKO French Manicure 206. Both applied in two coats. Then I added some water transfer decals and lines in white.

Five To Twelve

Good evening,

I am here again to show you several things. Lets start first with the design I made the last minute before the new year.

The main colour I used is red from KIKO Laser Nail Lacquer 432. Ring nails, which will be the accent ones I painted with another KIKO polish and it is French Manicure 206. They both are really lovely and good quality lacquers. There was an offer just £2.50 each so  I could not resist the temptation to get them.

After the polish dried well I applied some foil glue and when it became transparent I put the foil on the nail. Steps how to make it I showed you earlier.
 There is ..the foil is ready and covered with the special top coat. Then with black acrylic paints and detail brush draw the numbers and lines to look like a clock. Add some white snowflakes and dots.






And at the end covered it with Seche Vitte fast dry top coat....

Purple Sand Mirror

Good Evening Everyone,

   Hope you all are doing ok. Maybe you are wondering what purple sand mirror is. It is a combined name from two nail lacquers. As usual when I apply sand polish I combine it with some colour regular one and this time is KIKO Mirror nail lacquer 620  which I bought not long time ago from KIKO store in Westfield Stratford. The other polish is from the best sold this summer sand or texture polishes - Perfect S74.  
    I have tried so far several branches - Barry M (quite nice), Golden Rose ( my favourite one), Perfect (lovely colours), KIKO (just found one colour), Sally Hansen.
 
                Let's see now what I had created with these new ones.

 I applied the texture polish in two coats (after applying base coat). On the ring finger and middle one, I had just polished the tips with KIKO MIRROR in two coats again.
  Then I painted part of a flower and added some black stripes. With the help of dotting tool made some tiny dots.
   Above the flower I made two black stripes and and two green leaves for each of them.
   As a finish I added butterfly from my new water transfer decals, which I bought from my friends Born Pretty Store.

As you see from the closer look picture the sand polish has glitters in.

At the end I covered with fast dry top coat only the decorated nails, otherwise you can ruin the sand effect.
I made this design on my friend's nails too.

Hope you like these two colours as much as I do.
 
Take care.....

Kiko Sugar Mat

Hello there,

I was trying for very long time find colours from Kiko sugar mat collection. I had been searching for months and finally I found that there is Kiko Store in London (Westfield shopping centre).
unfortunately there was only one colour left - lilac - KIKO SUGAR MAT 635
I bought also another two colours from the Mirror collection, which I am going to show you other time.
 
I applied in two coats and as usual I decorated the ring nails. This time is not hand painted flowers, but water transfer decals

I painted the tips with Barry M Blueberry 324 in two coats and then one layer of white cracking polish. I used again from Barry M collection, you can use any one you find in stores.
Water decals I bought from Born Pretty store.
