Kiko Sugar Mat 640

Hello hello!!!
Happy to present to you my last choice from the Sugar Mat collection .

This one is a bright orange with a lot of golden shimmer. I really chose only shimmer ones, because they had six others that had no shimmer at all, and I found them a bit boring.

I really wanted the Mariah Carey collection, but I wanted the minis, and I can't seem to find those anywhere. Oh well, better luck next time. I am pretty happy with my Kikos.

So application wise it is the same as the other ones, goes on smoothly, and I needed two coats for full opacity. It is as easy to remove as the other ones, and the formula is great. The only thing is, that since you don't apply top coat, because of the finish obviously, it gets a lot more tip wear than a normal polish.

Here is the photo. Let me know what you think of these. I have already put mine on the blog sale, and they were sold pretty quickly, so I see you kinda like them too.

KIKO Sugar Mat n°639

Hey guys!!
Today I have another Sugar Mat nailpolish to show you, from Kiko, and it is in n°639. It is a peachy orange, with golden shimmer.

Like all the other nailpolishes from this collection, it dries to that gritty finish, that is so in fashion right now.  It took two coats to get opaque, and it dries pretty quickly.

It is also pretty easy to remove, it's nothing like a glitter, it is more like a shimmer polish, removal wise. So don't be afraid, these are nowhere that painfull to remove as a glitter polish, you will not need to use the aluminium foil method.

I do apply a base coat with these, but no topcoat.

Here are the photos. I have been getting some questions on these, on how they compare to the Liquid Sand from OPI, or pixie dust from Zoya, but I really don't know since I own none of those. But from what I can see, the Kiko seem more opaque.

KIKO 645 Sugar Mat

Hey everyone!!
Today I am showing you another Kiko from the Sugar Mat collection. This is one of the most interesting colors in this collection in my opinion.

It is a brownish color, with bronze shimmer, and I can see some silver shimmer in there too. All in all looks like a dark pink - totally love it!!

It applies smoothly just like the other ones in this collection, it took two coats to get it opaque, and dries to that gritty finish so do not apply top coat if you want that effect. If you don't, you will have to apply two coats of top coat, because this is a very hungry glitter.

Here are the photos:
What do you think? Are you a fan of this trend?
Do you own any of this kind of polishes? If yes which ones?

KIKO Sugar Mat - n°641

Well,well I'm on a roll, can't stop posting.
Today another gem from the sugar mat collection. This one is a more orange toned pink, with gold shimmer, that doesn't show that much on the nail, it gives it just a glowy look that the mattes don't have.

I applied this in two coats, and it is opaque as you can see. This is my favourite so far, although I love them all.

I am not showing you this one with top coat, you get the gist, it's not so impressive, I prefer them without, because even with two coats of topcoat you can still see the bumps, and I don't enjoy that. And after two coats of topcoat, I think there's enough coats of polish on the nail.

 

KIKO Sugar Mat - 642

Ok this is the pink glitter one! And I love it too.
This was also opaque in two coats, and I had the same problem with it, don't know when it's dry, so me being used to my nailpolish being dry after like 5 minutes, I start scratching my head or something, and my nailpolish does that thing when it  pushes back at the edge ( I don't know what I'm saying).

Anyways I took the blue one off yesterday, and it is so easy to take off!! It's not like glitter, it's more like holo when you take these off. So pretty excited about that!

I applied two coats of topcoat on this one two, and it is pretty both ways.

So here it is!  Do you have any? What were your picks?

UPDATE - Kiko Sugar Mat n°644

Wow two days in a row!! Yes I know! I have a bit more time now. I am changing my job, and untill now I was looking for a new one and now I have found it so I have a little more free time.

Today I'm going to show you the new thing in the polish world, the sandy gritty look. The shinny nail polish look is out, and these gritty new nail polishes are the Shit!

Kiko has come out with a new collection composed of 16 polishes - The Sugar Mat collection, all have this kind of finish, 8 are mats, with no sparkle or shimmer, and 8 other are sparkly and shimmery. So obviously I went for the sparkly ones. I bought 6 of them, and I'm going to present them each to you. They retail for 5€ at the kiko stores, and Fashion Polish has a 20% off coupon.

First up is n°644 a blue sparkle, with kind of silvery shimmer. I didn't think I would love these, but I do! It applies easily, just like a normal polish, dries pretty fast, and it is completely opaque in two coats.
 
It is a bit dificult to know when it's dry since you can't apply topcoat if you like the gritty aspect, but basically when it's at its grittiest, it's dry.

So here are the photos:

*UPDATE - I applied two coats of topcoat, and it is still not super leveled - this is a hungry glitter, so it is obviously not made to be covered with topcar.

Oh and if you were wondering if these get caught in your sweaters or other clothes, they don't.
