Wooow my fingers grew back out over night while I was asleep. Yay! Let's celebrate that with a swatching post ;) Read my aprils fool here
Sooooo I did more damage and had to see how I would like the new Kiko Cupcake textured polishes, so I bought six from their website that finally ships to Denmark<3 And fast shipping :o very fast, took a week for it to arrive. Nice :)
Originally I wanted the Nicole By OPI Roughles polishes, but they are to hard to find from a ebay seller that ships to DK. But I like the Kikos so I would recommend them as a alternative.
For all of these polishes there are some similarities:
- They are a creme polishes with some sort of red and blue powder blended in (exept for anise)
- They are rough textured polishes
- They only need two coats for coverage and great easy consistensy
The colors I bought are from left to right:
Wisteria, Anise, Mint, Pistachio, Strawberry, Lilac
Here is close up swatches on swatch sticks:
*Disclaimer: Yes I have very dry hands*
Wisteria - Is a light cornflower blue that leans a little purple in tone. The color is beautiful, but for my taste I don't think the red powder suits it... but another person do think so cause I've already sold it:) But I'm happy I got to try it cause the color is very sweet and springy.
Anise - Is a light blue and this is unique in this collection as the blue powder is lighter and brighter than in the other polishes. I think its fun and very young so I will give it a try. In the photos it makes my hands look a little red but it wasn't that bad in real life.
Mint - Is a light green with a little blue tones in it. Such a nice color combination! I really love it. But reminds me more of pistachio than mint. I don't like mint so I hate that name appears so often in nail polish names that reminds me of pistachio...
Pistachio - Is a greentoned yellow base color. I think more of pickles in some way instead of pistachio... (wish they would have named mint pistachio instead - I mostly bought this for the name. Pistachio is the shiiit<3<3<3). But I think it is pretty obvious that this does not suit me AT ALL. I have already sold this. But that said I wish it suited me cause I still like the actual color combinations.
Strawberry - Is a warm light pink, or you could also say it's a light pinky coral base. On the pictures it looks like the same color of my hands xD, apparently this polish confused my camera, I promise there was bigger contrast so in these pictures don't look at my hands but at the polish color cause that is true:)
Lilac - Is a cool toned light pink color. This is so fun to wear and I am wearing as a complete manicure right now. In reality it is definitely pink but it's very subtle and charming from a distance and when you look at it close up yu can see how weird it is. I like a polish that:)
Will you be buying any of the kikos? Or will you use their website to get hold of anything else you want? I also bought some eyeshadows ;) I have no shame in my life haha.
Love and sweets
