Che Bella

I did a swap with Theallamenta a little while back but it wasn't until this past weekend that I got time to play with the new pretties that had come all the way from Italy. They were brands I didn't have any of in my stash until our swap; Eyeko I had heard of, but Kiko was entirely new to me, and it had been very hard to narrow down my wish list when I looked at their website back when we were working out the swap. Look at the lovelies she sent:

Left to right: Eyeko Lilac Polish, Eyeko Vintage Polish, Kiko 270, Kiko 262, Kiko 292.

Not shown is another Kiko, 250, a hot pink shimmer. It wasn't around for the group shot because I'd already taken it out of the photo studio (also known as my dining room) to put on my toes and forgot to bring the bottle back. If you're not squeamish about feet, you can see it here.

The color I tried on my fingers first was 292, a purple creme along the lines of OPI Funkey Dunkey or Orly Charged Up. I liked the brush and the formula; two coats gave good coverage. I couldn't stop there, though; I added a coat of 270, which has cool-toned holo glitter in two sizes in a translucent base, then some Orly Top Coat to smooth out the glitter.
