Now granted, this polish was only .99 and I love the show, but I don't even like pinks all that much. In fact, I haven't done a full pink mani since, hmm... a long, long time ago. I don't even think I've done a pink post before. This is one of those polishes that I made a mental note to purge when the time comes. The idea behind this polish was really great, if you like pinks. A pink polish with gold micro glitter. It looks really awesome in the bottle and the nail.. after 4-5 coats. Yea, 4-5 coats people. This polish was so frigging sheer and would be best if layered on top of another pink.
This is four coats with a coat of Seche Vite in the sun. Visible nail lines should be way more visible in pictures than in real life, but this polish is the exception. The visible nail line is waaay visible in real life and hardly noticeable in pictures.
A closeup. The gold glitter makes this polish a bit less straight up bubblegum pink.
In the shade.
*Sigh. I love how pinks look on other people, but I just couldn't get used to it. I wonder if this color is a "don't worry, it'll grow on you" color. I ended up taking it off the right after pictures.
To be honest, I don't like pinks very much on my nails either. And my favorite color is pink! Some shades are an exception, but a lot of pinks seem really typical and generic. I can't believe it took you so many coats to achieve the opacity of this one! I hope it's not like that for the entire line? :/
ReplyDeleteLolll I'm STILL trying to get all the colors from the China Glaze Kicks collection! I started off with most the colors that I HAD to have, but now I want all of them because I'm like only 2 or 3 away :P
I've actually like blue more than pink, I think it's because I was a tomboy growing up, but I love how pink looks on you. I don't think it's for the entire line, although I have only tried a couple, it doesn't seem to be an issue for those.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you need to have then entire Kicks Collection, it's sooo.. YOU!
