Oxide

This was another poundland find for me. I'm starting to think I have a problem... Hi my name is Clare and I'm addicted to buying nail polish in poundland (scratch that, in general).

This is 2 coats of product, the polish I find to be very thin and runny so the application was quite tricky.







A lot of product builds up on the brush which is quite wide  and flat, so even with brushing off the excess before application, I still find that there is enough left on the brush to paid at least three nails. But despite that I really like this polish, its quick drying (touch dry in a couple of minutes) and once you get the hang of the application its actually quite quick and doesn't need multiple coats to achieve the colour in the bottle.

Here it is compared to the nearest thing in my collection.





This is Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous, which is just a couple of shades lighter, if you own LLM, you could probably skip Oxide, but if your a hoarder of nail polish like me, why not pick it up for a £1.

I wonder if Oxide would be a dupe for Chanel Graphite? ...

NOTD: Kiko

This is Kiko nail lacquer in number 303 Beige Chrome,  how boring is that name? luckily the colour is much more interesting.

Dubbed a dupe for Chanel's Quartz (swatch) this beautiful chrome finish polish is a super sparkling, champagne colour, akin to OPI's Designer... de Better! but without the beautiful copper flecks.

On first glance I was disappointed with this polish, in the bottle the two are vary similar, and so Beige Chrome was banished into my nail polish drawers, until now. On further inspection of the two colours, BC is a darker, pinker, champagne colour with silver glitter, where DdB is a lighter champagne with copper flecks. Theres room in my stash for both bottles after all!

Have you tried Kiko polishes? which is your favourite colour?
