NOTD: Kiko 393 (Havana Green) ♥

Hello everyone! I have a quick NOTD post this afternoon. 

Kiko is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands - unfortunately they are hard to get your hands on if you live in the US! The formula on all of their polishes that I have tried so far has been superb and their brushes are my favorite out of all the brands of polish I own.

Kiko #393 Havana Green is a lovely "military" green creme - perfect formula, no complaints. This is 2 coats and no topcoat.

I took some comparison photos with Dior Amazonia but they didn't turn out well so I am linking Pointless Café's comparison between those. You can find it here. 

At this time I do not know of anywhere in the US that you can purchase these - I hope that changes soon! They are available in stores in France and Italy and online throughout the UK and Europe. 


Thanks for reading and happy polishing!  ♥

Maya Cosmetics: Envy and Lovely ♥

I have two new polishes from Maya Cosmetics' latest offerings to show you tonight! 

Let's start with the shimmer - Lovely. Lovely is a grey-ish green creme with a pink and lavender shimmer. The shimmer in this is so pretty but I had a hard time capturing it with my camera. I did manage to capture it in the macro and bottle shot but you can definitely see it on the nail in person. The formula was great - this is two easy coats with no topcoat.

Next up is a very gorgeous glitter - Envy. (Doesn't it make you green? Hehe) Envy is micro-fine emerald green, teal and holo glitter in a slightly tinted base. This one is so pretty and sparkly in person! The formula on this one was so amazing that I didn't layer it over undies - I used 3 thin coats of Envy and it was completely opaque and I had no issues at all with the formula. I topped it off with one coat of Poshe.

Indigo Bananas: Low-key ♥

Happy Thursday! I have one more Indigo Bananas polish to show you and it is a lovely GREEN!  If you know me, you know I love green and that kicks into over-drive in March because of St. Paddy's Day! 

Low-key is a lovely olive green duochrome that shifts to a lighter gold/green and even a dark *almost* forest green, depending on the light. I really love this one and think it is my favorite out of all three of the Indigo Bananas that I have tried so far! I can see this being an awesome pedi color too!

Application was smooth and easy, I only needed 2 coats. No topcoat for the photos.
