Glequin Mix&Match over Amable Chartreuse (again)

Hello nailporn seekers!

I hope your weekend has been a nice one! I seem to be changing habits, for I've had a whole lot of time to relax and do what had been postponed for too long, plus a whole lotta nothing..! Feels good, I won't deny it.

I have taken my time to re-organize my stash since I found out the cleaning lady is so thorough with her cleaning duties that she cleans my polish shelves. It makes me happy that someone will take care of my babies as much as I do. It really does. What she's not that thorough about is how she organizes the polish after cleaning... And that's just how you find Chanel's Péridot right next to China Glaze First Mate. I challenge any of you (and her), my beloved readers, to find a realistic criteria that could bring those two polishes together in a non-randomly organized stash.

I hope you're not sick of looking at Kiko's Amable Chartreuse. I am conscious it's the third time I am starring it here, and I do promise it's the last. I just couldn't keep this glequin nail art to myself ;) It was such a mood-booster..! That colour does really have something special! And the glequins just popped up, take a look:

This was done last week, and I had a party in mind. But the party turned out to be on an intimate flat roof [in short, that means no light. Karma?], so only one person was able to notice it ;) 

Here's for more exciting news: my giveaway is over, and the winner is...

Sofia B.! Congratulations, Sofia! I have just sent an email to you, and you have 24h to respond before I pick another winner.

That's all for now!

ABC Challenge: Letter V - V tips over Kiko's Sun Pearl Amable Chartreuse

Howdy!

Well, letter V was an easy one for me... I just love V tips! So on that girly afternoon I talked to you about, my cousin Laure chose a bold yet soft manicure with V tips I am honored to show you today!

I started with two thin coats of Kiko's Sun Pearl lacquer in Amable Chartreuse, then added striping tape and did the tips with a regular black. On the ring finger I freehanded a rose, which helps soften the look and gives a contrastring manicure. Lovely, IMHO.

On a side note, I went to prison yesterday to teach some inmates about fundamental/constritutional rights, and apart from it being a blast... One of the female inmates told me she couldn't stop staring at my nails while I was there, for my polish was amazing. I can't tell you which polish it was (yet), but I promise you'll see in no time. Gee, it made me feel super proud of myself ^^

Have a nice time!

Kiko Sun Pearl collection - Amable Chartreuse (nº 427)

Hello hello ^^

This one has been a sunny weekend here in Barcelona, it seems the summer is finally settling in :) I decided to celebrate that with a gorgeous (and unusual on me) shrek green: Kiko's Amable Chartreuse, from the Sun Pearl Collection.

The color just didn't appeal to me at first, but as the whole collection has such a great coverage I figured I could always use it for nail art. Don't you see this color dripping over a pink or a blue?

I nail arted over it, but I will keep you in the dark with that a little more ;) Amable Chartreuse behaved beautifully: this is two coats + top coat, but one would have been enough on shorter nails, I am sure. As you can see, it has some beautiful golden shimmer in it, which is a little shy if not in contact with direct sunlight. Nothing major, for it adds a lot of depth to the color :) 

What do you think?

Kiko Sun Pearl Nail Lacquer nº 428 River Green

Hello my fellow polishaholics!

I am here today with the second polish of the new Sun Pearl lacquers recently released by Kiko. And let me tell you, I am very excited about this collection so far! I may get me the two I am missing sooner than later ;)

Today's post features this amazing turquoise green called River Green. Jusr like its sibling, I could have gotten away with only one coat, but I did two because my religion compels me to. 

My thoughts on this one are clear: I've been loving every second I have worn it. What about you?

KIKO Sun Pearl Nail Lacquer - 430, Chili Pepper Red

Hey there!

I will break my post/week routine and do something reckless today: post on Monday. Yeah, brace yourselves... Whatever. I am wearing this gorgeous polish today and I can't wait to show it off. This is Kiko Sun Pearl Nail Lacquer in nº 430, Chili Pepper Red. 

I thought it was a good thing to keep up with in-your-face colours, and this is the closest color I have ever encountered to a red neon polish. It is even brighter in real life, it just screams RED.

This last (blurry) picture is the most color accurate. Can you see the little shimmery particles in there? The perfect summer red. 

I have been wearing this to work, because WTF it's red and nobody can tell me I am not being corporate. Funny thing, I had a closing today and I could see the Notary staring at my claws when signing the pledge papers. I felt like a bicth ready to kick ass. You know what? I felt like I could grab the counterparty's lawyer by its tie and smash his sexist face on the pledge deeds. And print, print, print the clauses on his sweaty forehead. His big and neverending forehead. But hey, with Chili Pepper Red on my nails, ain't nobody got time for this.

Take care,

M.
