KIKO 643 and Swap package

Hey there!

I recently received a package from a swap buddy in Austria.

She was kind enough to find some of the new texture polishes for me.

This is one of the ones she found for me.

Kiko 643 is shown here in 2 coats.

The fresh spring green has gold shimmer accents.

The stay time was great.

 I wore this manicure for 2.5 days and

with no top coat or bonder base. 

It did not show tip wear much less chips.

 I have so many pretties that need love, so I removed it.

I loved wearing this polish.

I love how texture polish dries fast and looks

shimmery without top coat.

Below you can see the entire package I received.

She added a bunch of extras like

lip balm, lip cream, lip stick, face cream, nail glitter, and nail polishes.

She was a sweetheart to add all those items.

Thanks for stopping by!

Julie G Sugar Rush and Hot Cinnamon

Hello again.

I have 2 Julie G Gumdrop textured polishes to show you.

The orange, Sugar Rush, and the red, Hot Cinnamon.

I wanted a quick manicure and this was my result.

I simply painted each side with 2 coats with each color.

They dry so quickly and don't need top coat.

The colors are similar, so at first glance it looks like the same color.

Of the two, I prefer Sugar Rush.

The color pleases me more, that is the only reason.

Both have a shimmer to them. 

You can see that in the close up shot of the bottles below.

Thanks for stopping by!

The below picture is with my camera phone with indirect sunlight.

You can see the colors better in this photo.

Here is my look of the day.

 I just wore black eyeliner and mascara with a cheap lipstick that came from a

holiday gift pack from Wal-mart.

I really like the colors.

Thanks for stopping by!

Texture Polishes by OPI and Julie G

Hey, so I am sure you have heard of the new texture polishes.

And you probably have at least one.

Here are 2 brands.

OPI Can't Let Go (purple)

Julie G Crushed Candy (pink)

OPI Can't Let Go has larger bits of glitter in it.

Julie G Crushed Candy is more sparkly.

It reminds me of when a rock cracks open you see the shininess inside.

Well, except these are colors and sparkly, lol.

I wanted to try both and was too lazy to do a gradient.

So, I painted top and bottom the two colors and painted a black

line to make it some what presentable.

Both have just about the same formula.

2 coats that dried pretty quickly.

I would suggest letting the first coat

become almost dry and then adding the second.

It takes about 10 minutes total.

You do not need top coat.

I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote.

Removal was easy, not as hard as glitter polishes.

Wear time was good.

I did have tip wear after 2 days on a couple of fingers.

My nails did not snag on my clothes,

nor did the texture bother me at all at any point.

I would recommend using these polishes

when you need to hurry up and get those digits painted!

And below are 2 more Julie G Gumdrop colors.

Julie G Rock Candy (green)

Julie G Blueberry Fizz (blue)

Both are 2 coats.

Same formula as described above.
