The collage.

KIKO - 854, swatch

854 is a light turquoise green creme, it's definitely more green than blue, and therefore I call it legit for Green Wednesday. 854 is too dark for a pastel but still lighter than a regular turquoise even though it looks much darker on the nail than the bottle. The formula is super thin (as I've experienced with many KIKO's) and the round brush saves the application by miles but I still needed 4-5 coats depending on the nail to get rid of the "streakyness". These round bottles are also suppose to be fast drying but I guess that the many coats of polish makes them slow drying even with seche vite. Too bad because I liked the base color. What do you think?

Bought at a KIKO store on sale, payed like 1 euro or something like that.

Smitten Polish - Robin's Egg, swatch

As I said yesterday, today is the premiere day of a theme week here at Gelic' Nail Art. The theme this week is the brand Smitten Polish. I've bought all mine from the Smitten Polish Etsy store.

Since it's Monday (and that mean blue monday at Lindas Nailorama ) I've chosen the bright blue/turquoise Robin's Egg.

This might be my favorite because I love the color and glitter combination, the name doesn't make it feel worse either. Real robin's egg really seem to have this color too! (well, I googled it)

This is three coats of Robin's Egg and it's a crelly and very glossy, none of this photos are with top coat.

The glitter seems black when you look at it but it's actually very dark matte brown hexagons in different sizes. And as you might see most clear at the photo above (in the bottle) is shiny rust orange small round glitter. They are a nice spice to the polish glistening on the nail from time to time.

Above I also have a shot of it with matte top coat. I think I prefer it shiny but this also made it look really cool and rubbery like.

Hope you liked it and are up to more Smitten Polish tomorrow. :D
If you want to find more Smitten Polish I'd look at Sminkan and her photos of Smitten Polish which is the main reason for this purchases and the many more on it's way to me.
