Kiko 624

As a few days ago, I'm going to show you one of the old Kiko mirror polishes, this time a light blue one. Isn't it pretty? No, seriously, with this kind of posts I always feel like I don't know what to say besides "look at it it's pretty and the quality is good!". This series of polishes always proved good for stamping.
In some Kiko shops they still sell some of them for a reduced price. Worth your money if you never tried them!

Kiko 617

I know it's old, I know it's discontinued. But look at how beautiful it is! I've used it countless times for stamping, and never on my nails directly. And wow, I love how it looks, my nails look like blades.
A bit streaky, getting a perfect application is not easy, but it could have been worse. But I am overall satisfied. Yes, it's not a "mirror" in the sense you can see yourself in it, but it's shiny and beautiful. My nails look like steel and I see nothing wrong with it.

More Kiko sales

Kiko polishes are now at 1.50 euros! Including the Mirror ones and the Sugar Mat ones!

I already wanted the blue one so badly... and then there was the pink one...I can't wait to try the blue one!

p.s: here, these are the polishes I have here now that I'm at my parents...such a hard selection!

Stamping with Kiko 624

Meet the last member of my mirror polish family: Kiko 624 Sky Blue

As its other fellows, it stamps nicely! I've chosen this pattern because the tropical blue flowers on white base combo made me think of a beautiful t-shirt my sister once had, but now that I look at it, it does also remind me of porcelain teacups. Imagine it used together with a darker blue....

The base is Shaka Sugary White. No topcoat, I didn't have the time yet...

Vote: A, of course! Those mirror polishes are a safe buy, really. I've never been disappointed. The gold is the one with the better formula at all, stamps in a such divine way that you'll hear choirs of angels when putting it on your nail. The other mirrors are of the same great quality, and this Sky Blue is no exception!

Quick post: Kiko haul

It's no mystery that Kiko polishes are now on sale for 2.50 euros..
But now the polishes from the Mirror and Sugar Mat LE are on sale! What a pity, said no polish addicted ever.

My picks: 640 Poppy Red ( I can't wait to try this one!) and Sky Blue 624, for my stamping needs!
They also look nice together...

Stamping with Kiko 629

A photo taken a few days ago, I made an experiment and stamped with Kiko 629- the copper-colored mirror polish by kiko! The polish was a gift from my sister, after I helped her with some polish-buying advice. I stamped this over the max factor/essence mani.

The result is nice, even though I found it slightly harder than the other polishes to stamp with, but I still want to experiment more with it to judge. Overall, it works and the effect on the whole mani isn't that bad!
Stamping or not, this Kiko polish is really good. Kiko did a great work with the Mirror collection!

Stamping with Kiko 617

A few days ago I was at my parent's, spending my saturday afternoon studying german literature and my mom came back from her walk and handed me Kiko 617, that she had just bought for me.
She had seen the Mirror Nail Lacquer promo on the kiko window and thought they were beautiful, so she bought me that one hoping I didn't have it already. I didn't, and had already planned to get at least the copper and silver one of that collection, since the quality is great and they stamp perfectly. It was such a nice and unexpected gift!

Guess what, I will not need to buy the silver one. 617 is actually taupe, but stamped it doesn't make much difference, it looks like silver.

Natural light vs artificial light.

I stamped it with Gals stamping plate n 33 over three coats of Essence's Take a Ride on Pegasus from the old Fantasia LE.


Anyway, if you came here to find out if  Kiko 617 is a good polish the answer is yes! And, like the gold one, it stamps perfectly! Vote: A

Noblesse oblige: Stamping with Kiko 628

 I bought Kiko 628, of the new Mirror Nail Lacquer series, because I heard these mirror polished stamped greatly (and because I love gold nails..) and it turned out to be true! This polish is very beautiful and stamps greatly, I recommend it.
The base is Life is a Freeride by Essence and I used the GA38 stamping plate by galscosmetics.

I must say, I really like how it turned out, it's simple and yet eye-catching... it reminds me of brocade, hence the nickname of this nail art. I really feel like a queen now!
