The Ultimate sparkle...Kiko Sugar Mat collection

Happy Sunday my lovelies!  I am so excited to show you guys my swatches tonight.  Yesterday whilst out on a girlie shopping trip with my Daughter and two dear friends I had the chance to visit the Kiko store.  My my my, I was shaking with excitement when I saw the stand for these babies...I have wanted them so bad and finally have been able to lay my grubby mitts on them.  So, apologies for the picture spam but I just couldn't help it!

So I don't repeat...I used only 2 coats for each of these swatches. All of them were super opaque!
 Application was no issue at all.  Formula a little thick but not unworkable.  Dry time, excellent.  Here we go, buckle up and get ready to drool, these are to gorgeous!

643 Spring Green.  This is a stunning stunning summer green, so bright and so super sparkly.  Very very pretty indeed.




642 Hot pink.  Yep this is indeed a really pretty bright super girly pink with a really lovely shimmer running throughout.  Love this.




639 Golden Mandarin.  This is a beautiful soft peach colour.  It is definitely a summer colour, so soft and pretty.





641 Strawberry pink.  Hmmmm I disagree with the name of this one to be honest.  This is a lovely soft shade of pink but not 'strawberry' in my opinion, it is like a creamy coral meets soft pink. Never the less I still adore it!






















640 Poppy Red.  Another name I disagree with.  This is absolutely not red in any shape or form.  It leans more orange toned.  This is however my favourite of the collection.  It is so damn sparkly and pretty...I love it!!




644 Sea Blue.  A sparkly blue textured is always going to get my vote.  This also leans towards purple to...absolutely stunning beyond words!




I also done a little skittle mani for you and top coated them for you to see.....very lovely indeed...but  am liking them left textured.

So my overall sum up of these polishes are all super positive.  I adored each and every one and I Will no doubt be keeping my eye open for more of these lovelies!!  These are not as textured as the liquid sands but without doubt (with the exception of cant let go) they outshine them easily with the bright and summery colours.  My only gripe is  do wish they would come up with better names...for me names of polishes always make me love them more.  I still love the though...well done to Kiko!

Kiko 336 electric bluen + NYX blue ave

Sorry guys Ive been absent for a couple of days, i lost my mojo a little and have been so tired...but I'm back and dying to show you this polish....its a blue yay!!  I was a complete Kiko virgin until very recently when i went into a Kiko store and snapped up a few polishes.  I hadn't heard much about them...until now.



I have to say damn.....damn i friggin LOVE this blue, its number 336 which is called electic blue, and it certainly is!! This blue is simply stunning, it is deep, vibrant and damn beautiful.  I think aside from the beautiful colour i was most impresse with the application, this is definitely hands down one of the nicest polishes i have application wise...and colour wise to boot!  It dried SUPER shiny, the first pictures i took are shown WITHOUT topcoat WITHOUT  i tell you!!!!



Yesterday was a dark miserable gloomy day here in the UK, so i did a thing only girlies with polish addiction can do.....i bought another polish!  I bought NXY blue ave....OMG!  i decided to layer it over the Kiko 336 and this is what happened......!




How stunning is that?!  blue ave is meant for layering, this is not a polish i would wear alone an also it works best with more dramatic undies for maximum effect.  Blue ave has a slight teal base...bordering on clear actually but suspended in the base are these wicked orange, green and blue flakies.  I have read some negative comments on these polishes, and admittedly i only own this one ....for now, i experienced no trouble applying this polish and the flakies were superb.  I own essie, shine of the times and i hated that polish, it put me off flakies since but this is just.....beautiful!!!  I think the kiko and blue ave are perfect partners together, i cant stop looking at my nails......!
