Kiko 399 and new stamping plates

My Valentine's Day nails were very simple, no hearts or anything, just 3 coats of Kiko 399, a taupe, almost white-ish holo.

My apologies for the quality of the photos, the battery was dying and had to take them in a few instants. 

I liked this polish, and I think it would look nice with stamping, maybe with something elegant and classy.

And this is my Valentine's Day gift from my amazing boyfriend:

I saw these on Amazon a month ago or so and showed them to him while talking, but I surely wasn't expecting this gift, how great! In the box there are 25 stamping plates by Galscosmetics.

I can't wait to try them all!

Review: Kiko 400

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.

The above quote, from Gibson's Neuromancer (that I haven't read yet, shame on me), is the first thing I thought when looking at this polish, Kiko 400, especially without direct light.
As I tought, it's really beautiful and having finally some sunlight to take pictures it's a blessing, especially with this kind of polish.

The second pic is a bit blurred but I wanted to show you a close up of the shiny-ness and colors. This is three coats and basecoat, but no top coat. I eventually tried on one finger and I'm pleased to say it doesn't ruin the holo effect at all.
Considering the price ( 2.40 euros) this was definitely worth buying!

Holo haul

Surprise! Another post! I did some shopping at Kiko.
 If you say that you can resist sales, you're lying!

 I went to Kiko with my sister and bought the Sensuous Burgundy eyeshadow palette from the fall collection, that you see in the lower pic and my first holo polish, the 399, a beautiful taupe. My sister tried it and decided she wanted the darker one, a sort of dark grey /gunmetal shade. This morning I went back to Kiko..and bought one for myself too! There were just 2 left, that's a sign of destiny! I can't wait to try them... but I sorta want to keep the taupe one for Valentine's day.

And look at the palette isn't it pretty? Those are my daily colors... can't wait to try this one.
