As I stated in the first post of this series, I bought a load of Kiko Milano nail polishes in their awesome sale, for 75p each, which are mostly still available for £1. Kiko Milano is an Italian brand that was established in 1997. Their nail lacquers are Toluene, Camphor, DBP and Formaldehyde FREE and come in 11ml bottles. Today I’m finishing off the blues and venturing into the purples! Another bunch of shades with great formulas and shiny finishes.
Their description:
- Nail polish with hardening and strengthening action.
- The gel texture gives an extreme lacquered shine and an ideal level of fluidity for perfect control and great ease of application.
- Special resins facilitate ’adherence of the pigments to the ’nail, creating a strong, elastic layer which, thanks to the long wear active ingredients, heightens durability and the brilliance of the colour.
- Citral, a natural active ingredient with strengthening and hardening properties, seals and protects the nails creating an unscratchable armour of light.
I’m keeping descriptions to a minimum due to all the colours I have to share! All of these are 2 coaters.
518 – Light Navy Blue
Gorgeous muted navy!
519 – Cobalt Blue
This looks more ‘dusty’ in the bottle and a little lighter!
333 – Brilliant Violet
Once again, this hasn’t photographed overly well – this is a rich purple in real life.
332 – Dark Violet
A gorgeous vibrant purple. This isn’t as blue toned in real life as it looks here.
331 – Violet
Another brilliant purple!
330 – Lilac (no longer available online)
This one is a beautiful creamy soft lilac.
499 – Dahlia Mauve
Moving on through to the plum shades with this stunning mauve.
378 – Light Plum
Although this looks almost exactly the same as previous swatch it’s actually quite a bit darker and more of a plum than a mauve colour.
379 – Eggplant
A beautiful deep aubergine (or eggplant if you’re from the US!) that has a very subtle shimmer to it.
244 – Dark Plum
We’re moving into some of the darker shades now and starting with this lovely dark plum.
Make sure you the first three parts of this series (here)!
