Kiko 524

Hello my lovelies! I don't know about you, but it's been a crazy week for me so far. Work has been hectic and made me really tired and crabby when I got home. Luckily, I have a bunch of new Kiko polishes to play with. The brand recently came out with 60 new colors in their amazing permanent line. I'm a big fan of these nail polishes and I was happy to be able to pick out a few so a friend could bring them to me. These shades are very new, so there aren't many swatches online. I immediately started swatching the ones I have so I could show them to you all. The first one is an amazing multicolored shimmer polish that is perfect for the vampy polish lovers.

524, also known as Blue Multicolor consists of a charcoal base that is packed with blue/green and pink shimmer. I really love how different the shimmer looks depending on the light. In some angles, the polish looks purple, while in others you can clearly see the different colors of shimmer. This is perfect if you love dark polishes with a little twist.

I did my best to photograph this as accurately as possible to show you how it looks in real life. Here's a shot in direct light. Please excuse the glare.

The base of this polish is a bit more sheer to make the shimmer visible, but I still managed to get it opaque in 2 coats. It maybe needs an extra sweep in some places to make sure there aren't any bald spots left. As usual, I finished with a coat of Seche Vite to make it extra shiny.

I'm a big fan of shimmery polishes like this one. I just love the way darker polishes elongate my fingers and the shimmer adds a little extra to an otherwise plain color. This polish is definitely worth it if you have access to the Kiko brand!

  5. Multumesc mult! M-am decis sa nu-mi mai iau texturate ca le folosesc prea rar si am o tona. Oricum nu mi-au placut asa mult alea din start.
