Hello my lovelies! It's Monday so it's time for some blue. Today is also the first of April but I won't fool you with this post. April is also Autism Awareness Month and the color is blue. I will be talking more about that tomorrow with another blue post. Today I will be showing you my first textured polish. I have to be honest with you and tell you that I did not like these at all when they first came out. But the lovely Chiro sent me this one and after I tried it I fell in love with it. Here's how it looks.

The thing with this polish is that photos don't show its true beauty. It's very sparkly in reality and that sparkle does not show up well in pictures. I really tried to photograph this properly and this was the best I could do. I would probably not like this at all if it had no sparkle in it, but the truth is that it's gorgeous in real life.

The color is a little off too. It's a bit more purple toned and darker in reality. There's lots of silver shimmer in it, which makes it look like a glitter polish. I really don't know how to describe the effect but it's really amazing.

Application would be pretty easy with this polish if it wasn't for the huge brush. The formula is great and it's opaque with two coats. I have a few Kiko polishes from different collections and none of them has such a big brush. It was pretty hard to work with it and follow my cuticle line because it's really huge. The polish dries pretty fast and I wore it for one day without a top coat. I did experience some tip wear after one day and that's the only thing that makes me sad about this type of polishes. I can't really wear polishes that require no top coat because they don't stay on my nails for too long. I did try to add some top coat to see how it looks that way too. I would say that it's like a blue and silver glitter, very pretty.

I'm so glad I could try this type of polish in the end. Of course now I have a whole other problem because I need more. Have you tried textured polishes? How do you feel about them? Don't forget to check out the other Monday Blues posts below.
I love it! I wish we could get Kiko easier here. SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think the topcoat brings out the sparkle, but i still like it better without ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks really great on you!! Of course, I love the top coat version better ;0).
ReplyDeleteSuperbe :)
ReplyDeleteador ojele Kiko de abia astept sa-mi mai achizitionez cateva , imi place acest albastru :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think that I would like this new texture, but I actually do (at least with glittery nail polishes, not really with cremes)! I saw the Kiko ones in store and there were a couple that I liked, and I got one from p2 that I can't wait to try :) This one looks incredibly pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, cat de frumoasa e! Nici eu n-am crezut ca o sa-mi placa ojele astea dar acum ca le-am incercat vreau cat mai multe :))
ReplyDeleteA fost chiar o surpriza pentru mine. Abia astept sa incerc si de la Zoya!
ReplyDeleteI agree. The creme ones just look like your polish has bubbles or something like that. You really need to try the Kiko ones! I highly recommend this one!
ReplyDeleteSi eu! Daca am avea Kiko la noi as cumpara pe rand tot magazinul!
ReplyDeleteMultumesc!
ReplyDeleteHaha I knew it! But I think you should try a glittery type textured polish at least once. These are different from regular mattes because they are very sparkly. Maybe you would like them!
ReplyDeleteI agree. The textured finish is so unique!
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too. All their polishes are amazing. Thanks!
