Kiko 296

Hello everyone!

Here is the second Kiko cream I've got, it's Kiko 296!
Such a daring pop green! Though it's not a neon, it can easily be seen from very far! Not for the shy :) 
I've worn this however on a Friday (oh yeah, holy Friday wear!) and nobody missed it :). But now everyone from the work kinda got used to my extravagance when it comes to nails. Nevertheless, there are some colours I wouldn't wear at work... (e.g. : glitters and neons).
 
The application for this one was perfect, the formula is excellent, the drying time ok, like for most creams. I must add the fact that there are no traces of streaks. I've noticed that a lot big names in the nail polish business don't do anymore the good cream formulas they've once did...

Back to Kiko 296:
Here I used 2 coats of Kiko, no top coat:








I thought green looks very good in company of black.. I've asked Ghitzou for a "paw" of help with that :) :




With flash:




Finally, I gave it a try with the 2nd shear Kiko I have, a fine turquoise shimmer.
 I have Kiko 298 on top of Kiko 296 on my index and on my ring:





See ya! ;)

Deborah Yellow Fiz and Kiko 269

Hello World and Happy Easter to you!

I've been very busy these days du to Easter preparations, so haven't had the time to do anything.
But today I did have some time, and I let myself go with polish reviewing ;)

Today I'll show you my newest brand descovery: Deborah! I've got this form Monoprix, as they had a promo (3 Deborah polishes for the price of 2). The first one I'll swatch here is Yellow Fiz.

It's a really, really nice yellow cream, with nice formula, applying quite well (a bit streaky however on the first coat), very summerish!
Here I wear 2 coats of Deborah Yellow Fiz, no top coat:








And then I've decided to add Kiko 269 on top! Kiko 269 is a glittery yellow sheer base polish, which is excellent for layering (only..). I won't show it by itself, as it is really, really sheer. But look at that great effect over Deborah Yellow fiz!
I've made one coat over my thumb, index and ring:




 

 And then all over the 5 fingers:






 And because I couldn't stop here, I've added another coat, this time of China Glaze Black mesh! Such a great contrast! Leopard like ;)
