KIKO 373

This is my favourite, from the 3 KIKOs I bought last.
It is a beautiful brown cream, with copper shimmer. It's so very pretty, and I find it to be a very good autumn color.This one also got a huge reaction on Instagram, everybody liked it. My IG id is uneruxiaparis, if it is of any interest to any of you.

It went on smoothly like all the other Kiko polishes I own, and was opaque in two coats. The shimmer is very visible, even in the shade, so no need for sunlight.

This lasted me about 4 days with no chips, and no major tipwear, and only because I took it off, because you know me I get bored.Oh and I had to phile my nails down, they started to exfoliate.

*I forgot to tell you that I was told that this looked very much like OPI - Wooden Shoe Like To Know? but unfortunately I do not own that one, so I can't make a comparison for you. I do have a Mavala that resembles though, but I will have to compare these in another post. I don't think they're dupes. Here is a link to the Mavala post 

Here are the photos, hope you enjoy!

Illamasqua - Stagnate

Since I was talking about Illamasqua earlier, well I thought I'd show you the one I most liked from the two I ordered.
I thought I'd like the other one better, but this one sneaked up on me.

It's a chocolate brown cream. I love it, I used to think colors like this don't looks good on me, but this one I really like, even on my nubbins.

This was two coats, and as you can see it is totally opaque. I wore it for the whole weekend and I had no chips and no tip wear. I am actually quite impressed with this one.

So here are the photos. Not my best photos ever, and I just saw that I have a huge Mumu hair on one of my fingers.

Kiko 318 + Kleancolor Sugar coat

I wore this Kiko for two days before taking it off, and the pictures were taken right before.
It's a dark dusty purple, leaning towards a soft brown.
I love the color, but it doesn't look that good on me.
Application is excellent and formula too, I think all Kiko creams have the same one.
I placed an order on Beautyjoint that is a site that I've recently discovered with the help of Lily , to buy some kleancolor because I love their glitters. They have a sale on Kleancolor they're all at 1.75$. I bought 11 with 25€ including delivery for France.
I got them in record time - like 5 days, and really well wrapped.
The polishes are great but kinda stink.
Anyways I added a coat of Sugar Coat on top of my Kiko. Sugar coat is a transparent base with flakie like large hex glitter.
This is two coats of Kiko and one coat of the Kleancolor

Fashion Make up

This is a brand I found at my local market, and it's pretty cheap too 1€ per bottle. I wasn't expencting much from this one, but I tried two just for fun, and found that they were pretty ok, the application is just perfect, the formula is not bad, and the brush is good too.
I bought a cream brown, and a blue shimmer. They both have super shinny finish, and are opaque in two coats, I was actually amazed at the cream brown because there was no streaking, not even with the first coat.
The bottles are cute too.
On the brown cream I tried to do some konad but it didn't come out quite as I had hoped. The polishes I used for konading were all konad.
Drying time was normal, so in my opinion this was a good investment.

Sally Hansen - Purple Fiesta

Sorry about the lack of posts this weekend, but I was a bit busy, first of all yesterday I went to the Nail Expo - Mondial de beauté et spa de Paris, I took lots of photos, and I'll do a post on this tomorrow; today I had all the meals with friends, from Romania and from here. But I've got something for you today, it's another polish from my swap with Carolina whom I adore she does pretty konadicures so be sure to check out her blog
This is like a party polish, it's a brown cream base, with violet shimmer, nice holo round glitter and lines of glitter (don't know how they are called).
It was opaque in two coats, the formula is great, and love the shimmer. I had a hard time removing it but other than that everything was perfect!!
This is my first Sally Hansen ever by the way, and I must say I am hooked. Oh and I love the bottle shape.
Here are the photos
See all the magnificent glitter?
