As you know it means I’m open to swapping with you lovely ladies from all over the globe.<br />
This post is about what I jokingly dubbed ‘swap meat’ in the title: just some polishes I’ve been buying with you in mind and are ready to find a new home. There’s some KIKOs from the summer sale, many Essence Trend Editions I was able to get my grabby hands on, some backups I don’t find so vital anymore and some misc. polishes I like and thought I’d share with you. Everything's brand new.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in swapping for something from the following pics please send an e-mail at the address in my profile. I still don't have my pc back from the store, so responses might not be as fast as usual, but I'm equipped with my beloved smartphone and my mom's laptop. I'll paste a copy of this list in the <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/p/swap.html">'iSWAP' dedicated page</a>, and update it as often as I can. :)<br />

It hadn't been working properly for a while and then just gave up :(. They said they've had to order the motherboard and they'll hopefully have it done before the end of next week. </span></div><br />
<span style="color: black;">In the meantime I'm going to blog about my new polish source after TD raised their international shipping fees: <a href="http://www.8ty8beauty.com/">8ty8beauty</a>.</span><br />
From the site you can order China Glaze, Color Club, CND, Orly, Savina plus base coats, top coats and treatments of various brands.<br />
You can also order OPI or Essie by email or phone. Essie is $4.00, OPI is $4.48. (Haven't tried this yet.)<br />
<br />
Here's what they have to say about International shipping:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Minimum shipping cost is $16.00 and you can order up to 6 polishes – USPS Global Priority.<br />
Shipping cost is $32.00 if you order 7 to 12 polishes.<br />
Please note that there is NO tracking and NO insurance coverage. <br />
If you order up to 24 polishes – shipping costs is $50.00 – USPS Global Priority.<br />
If you order up to 50 polishes – shipping costs is $88.00 – USPS Express with tracking & insurance coverage.<br />
If you order up to 100 polishes – shipping costs is $150.00 – USPS Express with tracking & insurance coverage.</blockquote>Keep this chart in mind when you're shopping because International shipping fees are not calculated before you place your order. At checkout you're asked to enter your shipping info and your credit card number every time you order something: there's no log in option, so every order is like the first one.<br />
They'll usually send an invoice with the amount of money they've charged you with 1 or 2 days after your order, so if for any reason you need to cancel your order you need to do it fast.<br />
I have found USPS Priority to be fast and reliable, it usually doesn't take more than 20 days to show up at my door. They pack the polishes in boxes of 3 and then wrap the boxes in newspapers, sending it off in one of those USPS Priority flat rate envelopes. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">I have to say I would have liked for things to stay the way they were with TransDesign, since shipping 8 polishes USPS Priority cost $18, but 8ty8beauty is not a bad alternative if you don't mind not being able to pay with PayPal.</span><br />
<br />
So, how have you girls been satisfying your polish cravings? Is there any e-tailer you'd recommend?<br />
<br />
************************************<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Buongiorno a tutte, purtroppo ho il computer in assistenza, ed è per questo che non sto riuscendo a postare di recente. Dopo mesi di problemi la scheda madre ha deciso che non ne poteva più, quindi i tecnici l'hanno dovuta ordinare, promettendo di aver pronto il pc entro la prossima settimana. Speriamo che si sbrighino, ho tante cose da farvi vedere, appena possibile.</span><br />
<br />
Nel frattempo vi parlerò di <a href="http://www.8ty8beauty.com/">8ty8beauty</a>, il negozio online dal quale mi sto rifornendo dopo l'aumento delle spese di spedizione da parte di TransDesign. <br />
Dal sito è possibile ordinare China Glaze, Color Club, CND, Orly, Savina oltre a base coats, top coats e trattamenti di varie marche.<br />
Per email si possono ordinare anche OPI a $4.48 ed Essie a $4.00.<br />
Per quanto riguarda le spedizioni internazionali i prezzi sono questi:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Il costo minimo della spedizione è di $16.00 e si possono ordinare fino a 6 smalti – USPS Global Priority.<br />
Se si ordinano da 7 a 12 smalti il costo della spedizione è $32.00.<br />
Si noti bene che con queste spedizioni non avrete il codice per rintracciare il pacco nè copertura assicurativa.<br />
Se si ordinano fino a 24 smalti – il costo della spedizione è $50.00 – USPS Global Priority.<br />
Se si ordinano fino a 50 smalti – il costo della spedizione è $88.00 – USPS Express con tracking ed assicurazione.<br />
Se si ordinano fino a 100 smalti – il costo della spedizione è $150.00 – USPS Express con tracking ed assicurazione.</blockquote>Tenete a mente questo listino quando riempite il carrello, dal momento che le spese di spedizione internazionali non vengono calcolate quando si fa l'ordine. Al checkout ci viene chiesto di inserire le informazioni personali e il numero di carta di credito ogni volta che si fa un ordine: non si può creare un account con i nostri dati, quindi ogni ordine è come se fosse il primo.<br />
Una volta inviato l'ordine di solito entro 1 o 2 giorni si riceve una fattura con la cifra che è stata prelevata dalla carta (il totale degli smalti che era stato calcolato al momento dell'ordine più le spese di spedizione, che è facile calcolare con la tabella sopra, quindi non dovrebbe essere una sorpresa quanto è stato prelevato.)<br />
La USPS Priority si è dimostrata veloce ed affidabile: di solito non ci vogliono più di 20 giorni perchè il pacco arrivi sano e salvo.<br />
Per quanto riguarda l'imballaggio gli smalti vengono messi in scatoline da 3, poi avvolti in carta di giornale ed infine infilati in una di quelle buste di cartone della USPS. <br />
<br />
Concludendo quindi devo dire che avrei preferito che le cose non cambiassero in quel di TransDesign, dal momento che spedire fino a 8 smalti con la USPS Priority costava $18, però 8ty8beauty non è male come fonte alternativa di smalto, se non vi dispiace non poter pagare con PayPal.<br />
E voi come vi state procurando i nostri "tesssori"? Avete qualche negozio da consigliare?<br />
A presto, spero!<br />

Today I'm going to show you the new <b>Layla Graffiti Top Coat </b>in black and red. As I mentioned in <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/09/crackle-lacquer-presto-in-italia.html">this post</a> this is the year of the Crackle comeback, and it's being introduced here in Italy for the first time this year. <a href="http://www.laylacosmetics.it/mani/smalti/graffiti.html">Layla</a> has a range of 6 colors: white, black, red, yellow, pink, red and blue for about 7/11€ each.<br />
I've been sent the black and red ones to show you, so I tried out different color combinations and finishes (glossy with top coat or matte without it).<br />
<br />

Buon pomeriggio! Oggi ho per voi degli swatches del <strong>Layla Graffiti Top Coat </strong>nei colori rosso e nero. Come vi avevo già detto in <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/09/crackle-lacquer-presto-in-italia.html">questo post</a> introduttivo, quest'anno è tornato di moda il Crackle lacquer, (persino <a href="http://www.alllacqueredup.com/2010/10/opi-katy-perry-collection-preview.html">la OPI ne produrrà uno</a>) ed è arrivato anche da noi. La <a href="http://www.laylacosmetics.it/mani/smalti/graffiti.html">Layla</a> ha una linea di 6 colori: bianco, nero, giallo, rosa, rosso e blu che potete trovare nelle profumerie e negozi specializzati per prezzi che variano dai 7 agli 11€. La Layla è stata così gentile da fornirmi questi due colori da swatchare e io mi sono sbizzarrita con gli abbinamenti e i finish (lucido con una passata di top coat e matte al naturale).<br />

Today I'm finally posting swatches of the last polish from the <b>Venomous Villains</b> collection, <b>MAC Bad Fairy</b>. Once again this can be described as packed with shimmer, it goes from red to fuchsia to copper. I think it's the least original of the three, it's pretty, but it's not unique enough to deserve its place in this collection.<br />
I used the usual 3 coats and top coat.<br />
<br />

Buon pomeriggio! Oggi riesco finalmente a postare gli swatches dell'ultimo smalto dalla <strong>Venomous Villains</strong> collection, <strong>MAC Bad Fairy</strong>. Come gli altri due anche questo contiene microglitter effetto shimmer, in questo caso che va dal rosso al fucsia al ramato. Rispetto agli altri due credo sia il meno originale, pur essendo un bello smalto non è abbastanza unico per essere degno di questa collezione.<br />
Negli swatches ho dato le solite 3 passate e il top coat.<br />

Today I have another <b>MAC Venomous Villains</b> polish for you: it's <b>MAC Mean & Green</b>!<br />
Just like <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/10/mac-formidable.html">Formidable!</a> this polish is filled with shimmer and goes from olive green to purple, to gold/bronze and even pink. This is definitely my favorite of the three polishes of the collection, because of its uniqueness (okay, it's a dupe for <b>Orly Space Cadet</b>, but it's not like I own that one :P).<br />
To get full coverage I used the usual 3 coats and added top coat.<br />
<br />
Di nuovo ciao a tutte! Spero abbiate passato un buon fine settimana! :)<br />
Oggi ho per voi <b>Mac Mean & Green</b>, sempre dalla <b>MAC Venomous Villains</b> collection. Proprio come <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/10/mac-formidable.html">Formidable!</a> questo smalto è pieno di microglitter shimmerosi che gli fanno cambiare colore da verde oliva al viola, dal bronzo/oro persino al rosa. Questo è sicuramente il mio preferito dei 3 di questa collezione, dal momento chè è unico (ok, è identico ad <b>Orly Space Cadet</b>, ma non ce l'ho, quindi è unico :P). Per coprire bene il tutto ho usato le solite 3 passate e poi aggiunto 1 passata di top coat.<br />
Guardate un po' che spettacolo:<br />

Hi again! Today I have swatches of <strong>MAC Formidable!</strong> for you. This polish is part of the <strong>MAC Venomous Villains collection</strong> and belongs to Maleficent's 'section'. It's been said before, but I have to say it again: I really wish they'd put a little more effort in designing the bottles and boxes for the polishes. I mean, yes, they're special enough on their own not to need much else, still it's not fair that they look just like any regular MAC polish. *pouts*<br />
That is pretty much the only complaint I have, since all three polishes have flawless formula and are quite pretty and unique.<br />
Formidable! is the darkest of the three polishes, a deep plum base with green/blue/teal and pink shimmer. It's supposed to be a dupe for <strong>Orly Galaxy Girl</strong>, which I do not own.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Buona sera! Lo smalto di oggi è <strong>MAC Formidable!</strong> dalla sezione di Malefica della <strong>MAC Venomous Villains collection</strong> che in Italia è uscita il 1 Ottobre nei <strong>MAC Pro Stores</strong>. <br />
Vi avevo detto che vi avrei raccontato come ho avuto i miei tre smalti e facendola breve vi dico che li ho ordinati allo store di Roma per e-mail 15 giorni prima. Il 29 settembre verso le 14 il corriere Bartolini mi si presenta sotto casa senza aver avvisato prima (cosa che avevo chiesto espressamente perchè ai miei turni piace cambiare) e mi consegna il pacco dietro pagamento di 42.50€ (12.5 a smalto + 5 spedizione). <br />
Aprendo la busta di plastica (non un pacco) che contiene gli smalti vedo che sono stati infilati in una mini shopper MAC dentro le loro belle scatoline col buco e senza altro materiale di protezione. Risultato? La boccetta di Bad Fairy è distrutta e lo smalto ha impiastricciato anche gli altri due. Telefonando immediatamente al negozio li convinco a sostituirmeli tutti e tre. Il responsabile voleva mandarmeli di nuovo via corriere, io ci sono andata direttamente di persona riportandogli il primo pacco e prendendo quelli che a suo dire erano gli ultimi 3 pezzi disponibili. Questo dovrebbe significare che hanno venduto tutta la collezione già prima che fosse lanciata e che gli espositori che hanno messo dal 1 Ottobre vendevano fumo? <br />
Questo me lo dovete dire voi perchè io francamente ne ho abbastanza per un bel po' della MAC, specialmente del Pro Store di Via del Babuino, che continua a meritarsi la sua pessima reputazione.<br />
Aggiungendo 5,60€ di mezzi per arrivare al centro di Roma al totale qui sopra diciamo che mi sono proprio costati cari questi smalti. Magra consolazione è un rossetto datomi dal responsabile per 'farsi perdonare'. Non usando rossetti, specialmente di quel colore lì, lo terrò in un cassetto fino al prossimo giveaway, non saprei che altro farmene.<br />
Comunque, Formidable! come gli altri 2 è uno shimmer pieno di microglitter ad effetto multicromatico, che va dal blu al rosso bruciato passando per il verde ed il rosa. Il colore cambia a seconda della luce e della posizione della mano ed è molto brillante. E' identico a <strong>Orly Galaxy Girl</strong>, che alla fine costerà più o meno uguale ma è più facile da reperire.<br />
Ultima lamentela: ma non potevano mettere Maleficent da qualche parte sulle boccette o sulla scatola, che invece è la solita scatola nera MAC? Bah...<br />

I'm back with a faboulous polish for today's post. I'm talking about <b>Nars Zulu</b>! NARS finally decided bring this blackened green back in their <b>Vintage Nail Polish Collection 2010</b>. I got mine on the NARS EU <a href="http://www.narscosmetics.eu/color/nails/vintage-nail-collections.html">site</a> for 27.5€ shipping included and got it in the mail after a few days.<br />
I have to say the application of this polish is not easy. It's a jelly and it's thin, so you'll want to use many of coats, but what about the color? After the second coat you can't even tell it's green anymore. What you need here is a steady hand to make your coats as even as possible on the first few coats. <br />

Sono finalmente tornata all'opera! Lo smalto di oggi è <b>Nars Zulu</b>, che per molti anni è stato la pietra di paragone con cui si giudicavano tutti gli altri smalti verdi così scuri da essere praticamente neri. Quest'anno finalmente la Nars ha deciso di includere Zulu nella <b>Vintage Nail Polish Collection 2010</b> ed io non ho potuto fare a meno di ordinarlo appena è uscito sul <a href="http://www.narscosmetics.eu/color/nails/vintage-nail-collections.html">sito europeo</a>, per la modica cifra di 27.5€ spedizione inclusa. <br />
Per quanto possa essere famosissimo ed osannato come il miglior verde scuro della storia questo smalto è abbastanza difficile da applicare. Non è adatto a chi ha poca pazienza o poco tempo da dedicare alla manicure, visto che essendo un 'jelly' è decisamente liquido ed ha bisogno di molte passate per ottenere un colore omogeneo. Il problema è che più strati si formano e più scuro diventa il colore, finchè non diventa praticamente nero.<br />
L'applicazione ideale sarebbe con mano ferma che riesce a coprire bene tutta l'unghia in due passate. Io ci ho provato, mi sono fermata a due quando ancora si vedeva il verde per le prime foto, poi ho dato 4 passate + top coat per farvi vedere la differenza.Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-15172831738914942762010-09-29T22:18:00.001+02:002010-09-29T22:20:34.784+02:00Coming soon: Layla Graffiti Top Coat, Nars Zulu & MAC Venomous Villains!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been very active lately, the sun hasn't been out much and I finally gave in and ordered a light box for this winter... Until it gets here I'll have to find a way to swatch in what little sun we get while working most mornings until past noon. <br />
I have a TON of stuff to show you, though! <b>Layla</b> has been so kind to send me a couple of their <b>Graffiti Top Coats</b> and half a dozen Ceramic Effects to swatch, and of course I couldn't NOT order <b>Nars Zulu</b> the second the <a href="http://www.narscosmetics.eu/color/nails/vintage-nail-collections.html">EU website</a> listed it. And what about the <b>MAC Venomous Villains collection</b>? Well, I couldn't pass that one up either, so I had the MAC Pro Store in Rome ship it to me (I'll tell you the full story later). I also have 2 swaps to tell you about... And emails to answer... Aarrgh, I need help! :P<br />
Please forgive the rant, I'll post more as soon as I can! <br />
<br />
Ciao a tutte, so di non essere stata molto presente ultimamente e mi scuso... Il sole non si vede molto spesso di questi tempi e mi viene difficile conciliare il lavoro fin dopo mezzogiorno con quei 5 minuti di luce che mi rimangono in balcone quando rientro. Per questo motivo mi sono trovata costretta ad ordinare una light box per fare le foto con la luce artificiale. Era una cosa che non avrei voluto fare ma l'unica alternativa era smettere di swatchare fino alla primavera prossima, e non mi pareva il caso. Quindi ora non mi resta che aspettare che arrivi la malefica light box e cercare di fare il possibile nel frattempo. <br />
Comunque ho una MAREA di cose da farvi vedere! La <b>Layla</b> è stata così gentile da fornirmi un paio di <b>Graffiti Top Coats</b> e sei Ceramic Effects da swatchare ed ovviamente non potevo fare a meno di ordinare <b>Nars Zulu</b> l'istante stesso in cui è stato messo in vendita sul sito europeo. Altra cosa che non potevo farmi sfuggire è la collezione <b>MAC Venomous Villains</b>, quindi mi sono fatta spedire tutti e tre gli smalti dal MAC Pro Store di Roma (esperienza che vi racconterò presto). <br />
Poi ho anche 2 swaps da mostrarvi e tante email a cui devo ancora rispondere.<br />
Aiutatemi! :P<br />
Perdonatemi se ho un po' blaterato, è ora che me ne vada a letto. <br />
Buonanotte, a presto!Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-64918127974416465402010-09-27T16:35:00.002+02:002010-09-29T22:18:03.549+02:00PUPA Baroque Couture Autunno 2010<div><br />

</tbody></table></div>Hi everyone, today's post is about the <b>PUPA Baroque Couture Collection for Fall 2010</b>. <a href="http://www.pupa.it/">Pupa</a> is an Italian brand that's quite high end and expensive, so I don't usually buy their stuff, but this collection really caught my eye, so I decided to splurge and get all 3 polishes.<br />
The colors are 901 <b>Smoky Brown</b>, 900 <b>Emerald Green</b> and 206 <b>Mistery Pink</b> and they are minis, only 5 ml for 5.90€.<br />
<br />
Formula-wise these are small gems: they apply smoothly and are really pigmented, I'd dare to call them one-coaters. I did 2 just to be sure.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><i>Ciao a tutte, il post di oggi riguarda la collezione <b>Baroque Couture</b> della <b>PUPA</b> per l'autunno 2010. Di solito non amo molto spendere 5.90€ per 5 miseri ml di smalto, ma stavolta i colori mi piacevano tutti, così mi sono buttata e li ho presi. I colori sono 901 <b>Smoky Brown</b>, 900 <b>Emerald Green</b> e 206 <b>Mistery Pink</b>. Devo dire che non mi sono pentita dell'acquisto. Saranno anche piccoli, ma i colori sono belli, la stesura è da sogno e sono talmente coprenti che basterebbe anche 1 sola passata.</i></blockquote><br />
<strong>Smoky Brown</strong> is a light taupe, a shade lighter than <strong>Chanel Particuliére</strong>, but they're really close, as you can see in the second pic below:<br />

That's all I have for today, thanks for reading! ;)Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-89378755761634645912010-09-21T16:25:00.002+02:002010-10-25T15:14:23.525+02:00Crackle lacquer: presto in ItaliaCare lettrici, il post di oggi riguarda il <strong>Crackle lacquer</strong> e la sua evoluzione dal 1999 a oggi! <em>A big sorry to the non Italian speaking readers, I can't bring myself to translate this whole thing into English, you can use Google Translate to get a sense of what this is all about, or just look at the pics/click on the links. ;)</em><br />
<br />
<strong>Cos'è il Crackle lacquer?</strong> E' uno smalto speciale che va applicato sopra un altro colore che già avete sull'unghia. <br />
L'effetto che si ottiene è quello di 'crepe' nel Crackle che lasciano vedere il colore sottostante. Potete scegliere qualsiasi colore e finish per lo smalto sottostante, gli abbinamenti sono infiniti. ;)<br />
<br />
Basta quindi comportarsi come per una normale manicure, fermandosi al punto in cui applichereste il top coat, lucido o matte che sia. <em>Nota: Il Crackle non si attacca affatto sul top coat, quindi non mettetelo.</em><br />
A questo punto, quando lo smalto 'base' è quasi asciutto, si dà una passata generosa di Crackle ed il gioco è fatto. Nel giro di 5 minuti l'effetto sarà completo. <br />
Sta a voi decidere dare una mano di top coat a Crackle asciutto. Potete confrontare che aspetto ha prima e dopo il top coat nelle foto che vedrete tra poco.<br />
<br />
<strong>Storia del Crackle lacquer:</strong> Fu prodotto per la prima volta nel 1999 dalla <strong>CoverGirl Cosmetics</strong> e secondo il comunicato stampa che ne annunciò il lancio pare che l'invenzione del Crackle sia stata accidentale, una scoperta fatta nel tentativo di inventare qualcos'altro. Il brevetto è registrato sotto la dicitura "Nail Enamel Composition Having Decorative Appearance".<br />

Devo dire che questo effetto mi intriga già da parecchi anni (infatti ho speso cifre folli su eBay per avere i 2 CoverGirl che vi ho fatto vedere sopra), voi che ne dite? 'Americanata' o rivoluzione? ^^Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-47883080776125705652010-09-19T10:19:00.001+02:002010-09-19T10:19:34.952+02:00Layla Ceramic Effect 12Hi there! Today's polish is another lovely shade from the <strong>Layla Ceramic Effect</strong> line, number <strong>12</strong>. You might remember I showed you <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/08/layla-ceramic-effect-16_30.html">number 16</a>, and this has the same principle: a gorgeous purple shimmer in a grey-plum base. I'd say this reminds me a bit of <strong>Chanel Paradoxal</strong>, though I can't compare them because I didn't like Paradoxal enough to drop 20€ on it.<br />The swatches are the usual 3 coats, no top coat.<br />_______________________________________<br /><br />Buona domenica! Lo smalto di oggi fa parte della linea <strong>Layla Ceramic Effect</strong> ed è il numero <strong>12</strong>. Forse ricorderete il primo Ceramic Effect che vi ho mostrato, <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/08/layla-ceramic-effect-16_30.html">il numero 16</a>. Il principio è lo stesso, ma 12 ha un bellissimo effetto shimmer viola in una base grigio-prugna. Azzarderei un paragone tra 12 e <strong>Chanel Paradoxal</strong>, anche se non posso verificare perchè Paradoxal non mi ha attirato abbastanza da spenderci 20€.<br />Gli swatches, come al solito, 3 passate senza top coat.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Ho3L22lR3qqe2iqhqW6lJVnu6xH_xcV1CKQHO_y-vmhZOIk38OET572_u62cA9cwBOFVGWZIGfBjBzsMJ6wQ2getc5Y75hRGf0yoRypmUr4GVq-pwG5ReEy0mJQJjhntwq0b87YHBNi0/s1600/Layla+12.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Ho3L22lR3qqe2iqhqW6lJVnu6xH_xcV1CKQHO_y-vmhZOIk38OET572_u62cA9cwBOFVGWZIGfBjBzsMJ6wQ2getc5Y75hRGf0yoRypmUr4GVq-pwG5ReEy0mJQJjhntwq0b87YHBNi0/s400/Layla+12.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518535651407732146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2d_o-UCpe2AAhk7bZuREyhw33Hjg7iKOujAgr-AhF5xHO7pQ1KfNSxv-RQTxLeRfueETFSeXkZjwq-OY8pZDD0qY5TG7amXYkSQ3SDK_vftqrHUax5nnqdsOC-f_xICzJYJn2EJXqI7PW/s1600/Layla+12+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 337px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2d_o-UCpe2AAhk7bZuREyhw33Hjg7iKOujAgr-AhF5xHO7pQ1KfNSxv-RQTxLeRfueETFSeXkZjwq-OY8pZDD0qY5TG7amXYkSQ3SDK_vftqrHUax5nnqdsOC-f_xICzJYJn2EJXqI7PW/s400/Layla+12+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518535642693436530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrGym2prh0iHJVm4_17pTIoH6C_BEJ2FLlXlZUKhnE6m6Y8dPPxdbY7e1jQ7uDc2aMdIsLFrlvCrdGSJVhocglPgVhyphenhyphen_t0a3vBfiH42xkCeX-yUh93z35qx_l2Nc1jfK1ODPxnRAqvCnf9/s1600/Layla+12+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrGym2prh0iHJVm4_17pTIoH6C_BEJ2FLlXlZUKhnE6m6Y8dPPxdbY7e1jQ7uDc2aMdIsLFrlvCrdGSJVhocglPgVhyphenhyphen_t0a3vBfiH42xkCeX-yUh93z35qx_l2Nc1jfK1ODPxnRAqvCnf9/s400/Layla+12+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518535634158219538" /></a>Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-42705146107631207072010-09-15T14:52:00.003+02:002010-09-15T15:11:57.491+02:00Arriva in Italia Rimmel Matte Finish top coat<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx0_salc77CpU5iPZAkhp9PdjNhLu05LulJCayEeiGK0GY5-w4Grn50o8l6nWfHrYgUHjKKVleN-PNNZ3MOuyt8NpAacoDaEuk8hUYzdz80if3pT5z4EQjSiTOFpJa4RBU2ug84c6rJ5en/s1600/Rimmel+Beige+Babe+%2B+Matte+Finisher+Bottles.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 306px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517119295390709762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx0_salc77CpU5iPZAkhp9PdjNhLu05LulJCayEeiGK0GY5-w4Grn50o8l6nWfHrYgUHjKKVleN-PNNZ3MOuyt8NpAacoDaEuk8hUYzdz80if3pT5z4EQjSiTOFpJa4RBU2ug84c6rJ5en/s400/Rimmel+Beige+Babe+%2B+Matte+Finisher+Bottles.png" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Hi again, today's post is about <strong>Rimmel Matte Finish top coat</strong>, which I guess is the first mattifying top coat to be sold in Italian drugstores.<br />It's sold as a free sample with one of their polishes from the Lycra Pro line. The colors you can choose from are 284 Royal Rose, 296 Guest Star, 325 Hot Gossip, 397 Beige Babe, 404 Icon Style, 410 Trend Spotting and 416 Night Flight. I picked <strong>Beige Babe</strong> and for 7.90€ I brought home a nice 12 ml light brown/taupe and a 12 ml bottle of matte top coat.<br />(more English in a second)</span><br /><br /><em>Ciao a tutte! Il post di oggi riguarda quello che credo sia il primo matte top coat ad essere venduto nelle profumerie italiane: <strong>Rimmel Matte Finish top coat</strong>. E' venduto come campione gratuito all'acquisto di uno dei loro smalti della linea Lycra Pro. I colori tra cui si può scegliere sono 284 Royal Rose, 296 Guest Star, 325 Hot Gossip, 397 Beige Babe, 404 Icon Style, 410 Trend Spotting and 416 Night Flight. Io ho scelto <strong>Beige Babe</strong> e per 7.90€ mi sono portata a casa 12 ml di un bel marroncino/taupe e 12 ml di matte top coat.<br />Per chi non lo sapesse, il matte top coat, al contrario del top coat normale (ovvero il fissante che si mette sopra lo smalto colorato per lucidarlo e farlo durare di più) rende lo smalto sottostante opaco.<br />L'Upim della Stazione Termini aveva questo display "fai da te", dal quale siamo noi a dover scartare lo smalto colorato e poi prendere una boccetta di mattificante.</em><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ut9sVbBYSFja4TbReEAjbLAouojpiY-Cf_9gyGY2S5_Dz88mPyiMd_mtipbSmXGuLR1uoFLSfov_D9E4LMbkK2Kq1gkTbMSYjSykqM_tnPUdXJw62F7Pq40LGKOKazva-A8OtbmrrMfP/s1600/IMG005.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 302px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517115928006507778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ut9sVbBYSFja4TbReEAjbLAouojpiY-Cf_9gyGY2S5_Dz88mPyiMd_mtipbSmXGuLR1uoFLSfov_D9E4LMbkK2Kq1gkTbMSYjSykqM_tnPUdXJw62F7Pq40LGKOKazva-A8OtbmrrMfP/s400/IMG005.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><em>Mentre nella profumeria all'interno della OVS di via Tuscolana avevano dei pacchettini più carini:</em><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gssUmCbSffgkhMSvqF0-QytxPK0IB6EVJ-fZ227fJoMUmxPAsWFS-3IVvQPO1ktHtui1o5vnG5b01gW_UEL1dD3J-nxjp-zxze33sUZJMNysA7CDHBoMuTNRyEzB_EmiI-HHeTcwNKtN/s1600/IMG003.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 325px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517116454291547010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gssUmCbSffgkhMSvqF0-QytxPK0IB6EVJ-fZ227fJoMUmxPAsWFS-3IVvQPO1ktHtui1o5vnG5b01gW_UEL1dD3J-nxjp-zxze33sUZJMNysA7CDHBoMuTNRyEzB_EmiI-HHeTcwNKtN/s400/IMG003.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Is this as good as <strong>Essie Matte About You</strong> and the other big names?<br />I really think it is. I used it over Beige Babe (index finger) then did the middle with <strong>Essie MAY</strong>, the ring with <strong>China Glaze Matte Magic</strong> and my pinky with a really old matte top coat, <strong>Maybelline Matte Maker</strong> (I have like 5 bottles of it, if anyone wants one).<br />I can't see a difference between the Rimmel top coat, MAY and Matte Magic, they all leave an identical finish, they even change the base color in the same way. Matte Maker is less effective, leaves more of a satin finish.</span><br /><br /><em>Ma è alla pari di <strong>Essie Matte About You</strong> e compagnia bella? Penso davvero di sì. L'ho usato sopra Beige Babe (sull'indice), confrontandolo con <strong>Essie Matte About You</strong> (sul medio), <strong>China Glaze Matte Magic</strong> (anulare) e <strong>Maybelline Matte Maker</strong> (mignolo).<br />Non vedo differenze tra il top coat Rimmel, MAY e Matte Magic, lasciano tutte un finish identico, alterando persino il colore di base nella stessa maniera. Matte Maker è meno efficace, lasciando un finish più satinato.</em><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-lODJF8-6ck42v1Eio4UPX1drprkqoWIBuxW4B6kYTCI0RpMlcTdCwewzWVMS_V2VSD25PYm6UsDlkAYmuTEVKObC8y72E2D4AwpnjP-e51VyDP5unAMUy_QvE-yV6FT4BBRe9YaylDot/s1600/Rimmel+Beige+Babe+%2B+Matte+Finisher.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 378px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517118825917725682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-lODJF8-6ck42v1Eio4UPX1drprkqoWIBuxW4B6kYTCI0RpMlcTdCwewzWVMS_V2VSD25PYm6UsDlkAYmuTEVKObC8y72E2D4AwpnjP-e51VyDP5unAMUy_QvE-yV6FT4BBRe9YaylDot/s400/Rimmel+Beige+Babe+%2B+Matte+Finisher.png" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhad6Q43aklvb8TOKa98xIJ7G2dKxWS3EJjmOB7MJN06eDxffWSbVd3HWK2JL-ixSuLT_v0VoChKP6lhN1ZQlfyhXg6XLqpwyVgfhM3aUzmrp-8yymDM9VoAeVe4eU8D4MeDBTcRv9TkZKC/s1600/Rimmel+Beige+Babe+%2B+Matte+Finisher+2.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 393px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517118841239028306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhad6Q43aklvb8TOKa98xIJ7G2dKxWS3EJjmOB7MJN06eDxffWSbVd3HWK2JL-ixSuLT_v0VoChKP6lhN1ZQlfyhXg6XLqpwyVgfhM3aUzmrp-8yymDM9VoAeVe4eU8D4MeDBTcRv9TkZKC/s400/Rimmel+Beige+Babe+%2B+Matte+Finisher+2.png" /></a><br /><br /><em>Se dovessi avvistarlo da qualche parte, come Acqua&Sapone, a un prezzo inferiore vi farò sapere, comunque mi pare un sostituto abbastanza economico, che dite?

As the name says in too many words, this is a dark red-purple microglitter. The formula is a little on the thick side, it could benefit from a few drops of thinner, or you could apply thin multiple coats. <br />I didn't apply top coat over it because I like the slightly gritty appearance of a glitter polish (like in <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/06/lippmann-superstar.html">this</a> post), though I know this could shine beautifully with a coat of Seche. As usual swatches are 3 coats.<br />Enyoy! ^^<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 41px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif" /></a><br /><br />Buon pomeriggio! Lo smalto di oggi è <strong>KIKO 246</strong> 'Mirtillo Rosso Scuro Microglitter'. Come dice il nome è un microglitter rosso-viola scuro. La consistenza può diventare un po' troppo densa, quindi consiglio un paio di gocce di diluente oppure di passare diversi strati sottili consecutivi. <br />Non ho passato il top coat perché a volte mi piace l'effetto un pò 'rozzo' che fa un glitter senza top coat (come in <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/06/lippmann-superstar.html">questo</a> caso), anche se so che con una passata di Seche brillerebbe che è una meraviglia. Come al solito gli swatches sono di 3 passate.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6VFqNrEFvrvjFQ14HwCCTgP_kBsD728t1PDuZfnp_ZfcRxWArxaFxYpKYrx5ikMdGrZjA2xaFq2le5IlXl_RZYXxFuS9Em-yYhC1jCecEnw3-3Z8YKemmd-c53TY6PqcUbDBNuoP0GfJE/s1600/KIKO+246.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 293px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6VFqNrEFvrvjFQ14HwCCTgP_kBsD728t1PDuZfnp_ZfcRxWArxaFxYpKYrx5ikMdGrZjA2xaFq2le5IlXl_RZYXxFuS9Em-yYhC1jCecEnw3-3Z8YKemmd-c53TY6PqcUbDBNuoP0GfJE/s320/KIKO+246.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511610471239361234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnO-50U2rAOLWxuXVcD2Ar8fHPcg5iH3GgP3t68RaBy1jPRKIKFo3cJwREN1UigIfquk8pDrVyN6dDXRNHmx6-9iEQLzxMFjaoupRA5RJm3b3ZM0lUFlqnUa-HkP15yNMuEdK1Ha39CkCq/s1600/KIKO+246+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnO-50U2rAOLWxuXVcD2Ar8fHPcg5iH3GgP3t68RaBy1jPRKIKFo3cJwREN1UigIfquk8pDrVyN6dDXRNHmx6-9iEQLzxMFjaoupRA5RJm3b3ZM0lUFlqnUa-HkP15yNMuEdK1Ha39CkCq/s320/KIKO+246+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511610462524032754" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzy2YJhjXcvSLzmhcFKqwNK9pSzb_pBv2Q4C3IZAjiKSBH4pqtMqoZkAg1a8hWrdZXqkVhn1tQTTaQlXYjoFd0h7LpuSLqiUNYG5LPDmA-_wKG1YGapMReKg6GYOxC0M4XuyY4OHquKsTW/s1600/KIKO+246+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 220px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzy2YJhjXcvSLzmhcFKqwNK9pSzb_pBv2Q4C3IZAjiKSBH4pqtMqoZkAg1a8hWrdZXqkVhn1tQTTaQlXYjoFd0h7LpuSLqiUNYG5LPDmA-_wKG1YGapMReKg6GYOxC0M4XuyY4OHquKsTW/s320/KIKO+246+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511610451204040578" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/search/label/brand%3A%20KIKO">MORE KIKO</a>Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-33278894390960547082010-08-30T18:48:00.003+02:002010-08-31T18:30:48.857+02:00Layla Ceramic Effect 16Hi everyone, I know I promised you more KIKO swatches but I just found a shop that sells <a href="http://www.laylacosmetics.it/mani/smalti.html">Layla</a> cosmetics, another popular Italian brand, for almost half the regular price and picked a polish so gorgeous I couldn't wait to show you.<br />It's number <strong>16</strong> from the <strong>Ceramic Effect</strong> collection. <br />Its striking feature is the pink-purple shimmer in the light grey base that's noticeable indoors and has some serious sparkle in sunlight.<br />I used 3 thick coats and top coat for this mani, which I'm still wearing and is not showing signs of wear after 3 days.<br /><br /><a href="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 41px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif" /></a><br /><br />Ciao a tutte, lo so che in programma c'erano altri swatches KIKO, ma venerdì con la colleguzza Simona siamo andate in un negozio a Morena (RM) che aveva gli smalti Layla praticamente a metà prezzo. Non potendo resistere ho subito puntato il numero 16 della collezione Ceramic Effect e devo dire che non avrei potuto scegliere di meglio. La sua qualità più interessante è il luccichio rosa-viola che è evidente nella base grigio chiaro anche al chiuso e che alla luce del sole brilla che è un piacere.<br />Per questa manicure, che ho su tutt'ora e che dopo 3 giorni ancora tiene bene, ho usato 3 strati consistenti e una passata di top coat.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPbXdx8JipPcTdJ_qLAs1RToRU3IsSfhzSAK6mFlro2KTCHSRcv3U2fw-Tdh6uT_-ziB0uIrsFf637LJJyps6kwiut6U1uNA8SgmWDdZhZyB8gyGoe9anhllAfYpqvlXieG9RCzcc74BL/s1600/Layla+16.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPbXdx8JipPcTdJ_qLAs1RToRU3IsSfhzSAK6mFlro2KTCHSRcv3U2fw-Tdh6uT_-ziB0uIrsFf637LJJyps6kwiut6U1uNA8SgmWDdZhZyB8gyGoe9anhllAfYpqvlXieG9RCzcc74BL/s320/Layla+16.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511196556225054450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN4ZfDKNuIY6Pv8g33JvAzE4hTj76j_VqXloCH-orFjqiuvaZZgUg7bl-rZETw67zc7wl9MeiZsHc4QC5ZiZffPjUbqDpSdCdqU0UTru8VgwtlVTRRP3wD0nYdpXgkn7yLqHIns2VhIFDy/s1600/Layla+16+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN4ZfDKNuIY6Pv8g33JvAzE4hTj76j_VqXloCH-orFjqiuvaZZgUg7bl-rZETw67zc7wl9MeiZsHc4QC5ZiZffPjUbqDpSdCdqU0UTru8VgwtlVTRRP3wD0nYdpXgkn7yLqHIns2VhIFDy/s320/Layla+16+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511196546296003602" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbzUnPitKizzYlelJzmuJWbHiUbHLEYthtjxzLwExNcrs0yWcwKEk_T1rKhjx65Tpz9q9RyP2uy58jm0aJApDK3aqQHe70E_D59CGmnz1k4MDaDePzqlFPJ-8J3_3p9lGHCT95hNT66Lp/s1600/Layla+16+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbzUnPitKizzYlelJzmuJWbHiUbHLEYthtjxzLwExNcrs0yWcwKEk_T1rKhjx65Tpz9q9RyP2uy58jm0aJApDK3aqQHe70E_D59CGmnz1k4MDaDePzqlFPJ-8J3_3p9lGHCT95hNT66Lp/s320/Layla+16+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511196533953335442" /></a>Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-19944388313846090282010-08-27T18:34:00.002+02:002010-08-31T18:30:33.411+02:00KIKO 296 'Verde Prato'Hi everyone, I hope you're feeling better than I am, I have a headache :( <br />Thankfully it's the start of the week end so I can unwind a bit.<br /><a href="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/1959/4098150150.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/1959/4098150150.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> I chose an easy polish to describe for today: it's <strong>KIKO 296</strong> 'Verde Prato' ('Field Green'), a light green creme.<br />I have a fair number of greens and can say this is an unique shade in its simplicity and it makes a great base and stamping polish for Konading.<br />(Old) swatches are 2 coats, no top coat.<br /><br />Have a great week end, see you on monday with more KIKO. ;)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 41px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif" /></a><br /><br />Buon pomeriggio! Per fortuna la settimana è finita ed è iniziato il week end... Ho un mal di testa notevole, causa della scelta di uno smalto facile da descrivere per oggi: <strong>KIKO 296</strong> 'Verde Prato', un verde chiaro creme.<br />Di smalti verdi ne ho i cassetti pieni, ma ci credete se vi dico che nella sua semplicità 296 è unico? Non ne ho un altro simile. Si presta anche bene come colore su cui stampare il Konad o come base.<br />In questi (vecchi) swatches: 2 passate, niente top coat.<br /><br />Passate un buon fine settimana, ci rivediamo lunedì con altri KIKO. ;)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ7EVf8eIde7XfwTsYqsH8u2TqLeN7XgoqbhaSkl8P6blMaW8XV0ArDXcUl1ZpV3JsOkbGPAPNkEtAMTnGgsRmtseZouGq-XJ1YWcDIxB4H_NewYDGksf8Ssum1uahQwqdF9oXPyDk6x9f/s1600/Kiko+296.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 289px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ7EVf8eIde7XfwTsYqsH8u2TqLeN7XgoqbhaSkl8P6blMaW8XV0ArDXcUl1ZpV3JsOkbGPAPNkEtAMTnGgsRmtseZouGq-XJ1YWcDIxB4H_NewYDGksf8Ssum1uahQwqdF9oXPyDk6x9f/s320/Kiko+296.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510125445483088146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5c8yNt4-mLTq-K2mdjO3zzFqXjDdBMF651B9-4FQGE8x7pLuaBGg3UPgkf7uRXDQDj1vkQk-agqbgP8M2z0LlX6ZMVVqWtEiGPx-Gc7_YWuiuOfQwbUK8tJfqRpEOlt4JKodhr7LpC8pH/s1600/Kiko+296+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5c8yNt4-mLTq-K2mdjO3zzFqXjDdBMF651B9-4FQGE8x7pLuaBGg3UPgkf7uRXDQDj1vkQk-agqbgP8M2z0LlX6ZMVVqWtEiGPx-Gc7_YWuiuOfQwbUK8tJfqRpEOlt4JKodhr7LpC8pH/s320/Kiko+296+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510125432448308786" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDJBKmvSpgny-p8WQJJxrVdGM6ucyuFdpzOUKX4BFs9IaHgmH_AoveO2qwqP1i8ICTWJZP4iVz_DixzX7sike9_pIJx5d5pzuhKJ1k90figgmszj_CQw1QYtCTF1LBoxC7LgQn72YoiFiC/s1600/Kiko+296+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 206px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDJBKmvSpgny-p8WQJJxrVdGM6ucyuFdpzOUKX4BFs9IaHgmH_AoveO2qwqP1i8ICTWJZP4iVz_DixzX7sike9_pIJx5d5pzuhKJ1k90figgmszj_CQw1QYtCTF1LBoxC7LgQn72YoiFiC/s320/Kiko+296+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510125415461997106" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/search/label/brand%3A%20KIKO">MORE KIKO</a>Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-25955401382025176712010-08-26T19:14:00.006+02:002010-08-27T18:26:10.713+02:00KIKO 245 'Rubino Scuro Perlato'Hi again!

Today I have 3 'looks' for you. The first swatches are of 3 coats (plus top coat) of <strong>KIKO 300</strong>. This shimmery blue is quite beautiful on its own, but I decided to add a coat of <strong>KIKO 270</strong> to it. <a href="http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/2989/3302150150.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/2989/3302150150.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>I have shown you <strong>270</strong> (it was formerly numbered <strong>170</strong>) <a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2009/03/kiko-170-over-collistar-blue.html">before</a>, and I often use it over dark colors, especially since the whole exagonal paillettes and small glitter in polish trend started (see the gorgeous polishes from <a href="http://www.scrangie.com/search/label/lippmann%20collection">Lippmann Collection</a>). <br />I then mattified it with a coat of <strong>China Glaze Matte Magic</strong>. <br />I really love the final look, I'll have to wear it for a real mani soon! <br /><br /><a href="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 41px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif" /></a><br /><br />Buonasera, care lettrici. Oggi ho un bel po' di foto per voi. Nelle prime vedete 3 passate di <strong>KIKO 300</strong> + top coat. Poi ho aggiunto uno strato di <strong>KIKO 270</strong>, che uso spesso per dare 'un tocco in più' ai colori scuri, specialmente da quando <a href="http://www.scrangie.com/search/label/lippmann%20collection">Deborah Lippmann</a> ha lanciato lo smalto con paillettes esagonali e glitter. Non contenta ho deciso di 'mattificare' il tutto con <strong>China Glaze Matte Magic</strong>. <br />Questo look finale mi piace proprio, lo dovrò rifare per una vera manicure!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZJQNc_y7xvYGUURqWTH3k9C8WUk6oT03EtgMEj2vZvKOCp-KVXQbRJM0Y1KKvFltQyGPPVx1Y1GKG4s2dNai7KRtEYftsQmO9z8luFPHYeiPfhNFEnxLa8rKEgFGeLzQ9MSRAxqjwatjC/s1600/KIKO+300.png"><img style="display:block;

Lo smalto di oggi è <strong>KIKO 278</strong> 'Viola Orchidea Microglitter'. <br />Assomiglia moltissimo a <strong>Zoya Mimi</strong> dalla <strong>Sparkle Collection</strong>, anche se probabilmente 278 tende più al rosa ed è leggermente più chiaro.<br />Applicarlo è stato facilissimo, anche facendo le mie solite 3 passate... Basta soltanto aspettare che si asciughi un pochino il precedente prima di passare un altro strato. Poi ho lucidato il tutto con il top coat. Guardate come brilla al sole!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOUwh_IuTSTZA3N0vl-zHH0kGca7tZcKJ0N7qrVqCGvw-z-H9afcB_UKfXmbIOgi0LQbPKNVyDlwEhUKUr1ytoCnI9grazTaDKNkXNqJVTp1kBUpWT86nR0LRz_qai-tolkNVncJ6RxKI/s1600/kiko+278+0.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOUwh_IuTSTZA3N0vl-zHH0kGca7tZcKJ0N7qrVqCGvw-z-H9afcB_UKfXmbIOgi0LQbPKNVyDlwEhUKUr1ytoCnI9grazTaDKNkXNqJVTp1kBUpWT86nR0LRz_qai-tolkNVncJ6RxKI/s320/kiko+278+0.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508962288861898786" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDkcE_VahVo-AB2b2JNowumnjTceFI4qvk13aWS1WufNyySRsTl9fJoCYCL3byxrIUhzK2j2DYC8GECOJdQZOFSbc22ilBAGQ8zTUkBUfl8TA46UMeBgYS93LfubzMsoiaHykrystCW60s/s1600/kiko+278+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 281px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDkcE_VahVo-AB2b2JNowumnjTceFI4qvk13aWS1WufNyySRsTl9fJoCYCL3byxrIUhzK2j2DYC8GECOJdQZOFSbc22ilBAGQ8zTUkBUfl8TA46UMeBgYS93LfubzMsoiaHykrystCW60s/s320/kiko+278+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508962063560017490" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvxU4Au1zxsch50dKhNl-7oEP1vWOmL2k3Amz5DLSumhh4b5OecIf8cE4kUFc4uSaoZDSJffuZC3EbF8kiZt4beqwHqDLOSxuCQARr6lFEY8s0p5Xe78J63e0lmjUVqkNYc4DScuXRkpRl/s1600/kiko+278+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvxU4Au1zxsch50dKhNl-7oEP1vWOmL2k3Amz5DLSumhh4b5OecIf8cE4kUFc4uSaoZDSJffuZC3EbF8kiZt4beqwHqDLOSxuCQARr6lFEY8s0p5Xe78J63e0lmjUVqkNYc4DScuXRkpRl/s320/kiko+278+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508962045380653890" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitypCfV83ABV7I4oZ6-qvT_chFiv3CESF3nX3KgnxWuD8wH9xBQOhrsRbj7rS9Ezl_Bchsnu1Qp39E32IzDltdG-UR1-UpDQPoDqCxV5uMprkaRbofeUVW1bc_L_G1QM6Rlj6io2G6SHJ1/s1600/kiko+278+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 203px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitypCfV83ABV7I4oZ6-qvT_chFiv3CESF3nX3KgnxWuD8wH9xBQOhrsRbj7rS9Ezl_Bchsnu1Qp39E32IzDltdG-UR1-UpDQPoDqCxV5uMprkaRbofeUVW1bc_L_G1QM6Rlj6io2G6SHJ1/s320/kiko+278+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508962034031838450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrQsQ-3KRiwGMc31bSCywP8fNuh_U4cdcJt3mSr9dV6ta0f3Em-YtO9cROcsSfWdMm4srRaAvOpGk4YHQLv-m3CBhxs3XeTJnu5FP0ctw6FdVdbBsh6szcKWmhVPakvs4PRcNrPgIcDjK/s1600/kiko+278+4.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 188px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrQsQ-3KRiwGMc31bSCywP8fNuh_U4cdcJt3mSr9dV6ta0f3Em-YtO9cROcsSfWdMm4srRaAvOpGk4YHQLv-m3CBhxs3XeTJnu5FP0ctw6FdVdbBsh6szcKWmhVPakvs4PRcNrPgIcDjK/s320/kiko+278+4.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508962016004168546" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/search/label/brand%3A%20KIKO">MORE KIKO</a>Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832695576226489122.post-74583602205594071222010-08-23T10:00:00.002+02:002010-08-24T15:16:29.349+02:00KIKO 267 'Azzurro' + KIKO 298 'Turchese Microglitter'Good morning! Today's post starts the <strong>KIKO</strong> brand focus. KIKO is an Italian brand based in Milan and offers a line of 105 nail polishes priced 3.90€ each. They're currently on Summer sale at 1.90€, so I stocked up on some new shades.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpjthQvXoGHAQY6qMsAfuY480Hqa29MT719yCCoWtu6AWgtIou4lcy7uG52mLPspw_Pm_K51Cpz2kF2VEfSnFfAK0UFaiT63gOrB6uFjPSrxYvmD4A8kFeojAPd7KnzPYFvxv0t1xwBvOr/"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpjthQvXoGHAQY6qMsAfuY480Hqa29MT719yCCoWtu6AWgtIou4lcy7uG52mLPspw_Pm_K51Cpz2kF2VEfSnFfAK0UFaiT63gOrB6uFjPSrxYvmD4A8kFeojAPd7KnzPYFvxv0t1xwBvOr/" /></a>The first polish I'm going to show you is <strong>KIKO 267</strong>, a lovely shimmery light azure-blue. I should have probably been more careful with the brush strokes, since they're slightly visible up close, but they're not noticeable from a distance.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbD6vo0HRsMIh4KjGlGE9p9msSc1Pyvw7kzEKBNRmMQOvRIDlx8qQ7OrBALoD5NNTZWnMPdev_1UNEyRDgPIXfojAHvlIT_VZDU1Qrc4ayQQcC-t3FvtBYv1T6hJ3vvBlaCfUrGp7jTjxx/"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbD6vo0HRsMIh4KjGlGE9p9msSc1Pyvw7kzEKBNRmMQOvRIDlx8qQ7OrBALoD5NNTZWnMPdev_1UNEyRDgPIXfojAHvlIT_VZDU1Qrc4ayQQcC-t3FvtBYv1T6hJ3vvBlaCfUrGp7jTjxx/" /></a><br />I used 2 coats and top coat.

There's not much to say about this one, the color is pleasant but considering the past season not the most original, usual application and formula aspects were <br />consistent with the brand, meaning they're excellent. <br /><br />All in all this would be a great choice if you were looking for your first mint creme, but if you already have 8 of them you could consider skipping this one. :)<br />Swatches are 3 coats + top coat.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 41px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2j68n61.gif" /></a><br /><br />Buongiorno, lo smalto di oggi è <strong>American Apparel Office</strong>, l'ennesimo verde menta creme. Non ho molto da dire su questo smalto, il colore è bello ma vista la passata stagione non è esattamente il più originale<br />I soliti aspetti 'tecnici' quali la stesura e la consistenza sono eccellenti, come ci si aspetta da uno smalto di questo brand.<br /><br />Tutto considerato questo smalto sarebbe un'ottima scelta se state cercando il vostro primo verde menta, ma se di verde menta ne avete già 8 potreste pensare di fare a meno di questo qui. :)<br />Negli swatches: 3 passate + top coat. <br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuS3WX632jytpeLIEDhoi11-yC0yWjxRzeDsLF9hoaJuied-LptzJTS_q0M3uhBCcf6WNrL7kvL2oe7aCqh4eFQx3xdUrW9pSPgq7nhRe_MXJ4VgJtJNvW6ztfs3wwpBVW1k1NGGX3Irt6/s1600/american+apparel+office.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuS3WX632jytpeLIEDhoi11-yC0yWjxRzeDsLF9hoaJuied-LptzJTS_q0M3uhBCcf6WNrL7kvL2oe7aCqh4eFQx3xdUrW9pSPgq7nhRe_MXJ4VgJtJNvW6ztfs3wwpBVW1k1NGGX3Irt6/s320/american+apparel+office.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500376852685850834" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUdsoss1M3W1m9jA10lNhEFJDGckKibrSqQn6wpbxo5Srl1WXx2gcW8Hqq96Y2r3dFP98NBcLN_o25HITNRJs-Dgm8yHgcyLEALtixRFNAPxHWqfsxxBzNBCS4AqtvLwzpUF1mNjLbYDqB/s1600/american+apparel+office+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUdsoss1M3W1m9jA10lNhEFJDGckKibrSqQn6wpbxo5Srl1WXx2gcW8Hqq96Y2r3dFP98NBcLN_o25HITNRJs-Dgm8yHgcyLEALtixRFNAPxHWqfsxxBzNBCS4AqtvLwzpUF1mNjLbYDqB/s320/american+apparel+office+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500376836898249762" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_MXOCp_owDeht8neM1QtOkKow1ygeMgyEeuwArro_C-PmcANK4LKpjZ8Uh5u6mLCIMx2KwXJvEZJyR-nsUBf_DgdK6NcLT_EfwSswaRyFGF_nD8swY_BG1p7scukBspEO4JHF_HLk74U2/s1600/american+apparel+office+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_MXOCp_owDeht8neM1QtOkKow1ygeMgyEeuwArro_C-PmcANK4LKpjZ8Uh5u6mLCIMx2KwXJvEZJyR-nsUBf_DgdK6NcLT_EfwSswaRyFGF_nD8swY_BG1p7scukBspEO4JHF_HLk74U2/s320/american+apparel+office+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500376829788731330" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFDMZqUpwrPaEoBVYr0tCMyw-eQOHCb1oHj_idBLJB8T_yd2mC7JsWlRd6qUHAwJkdkHCjKHJR9Vd5DkwnKrpD0x9bSJ3kVsmMGjD8MzGhnrAcGwC6B9EtmOB5a12MjB0OqGcbwFXgTP8s/s1600/american+apparel+office+4.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFDMZqUpwrPaEoBVYr0tCMyw-eQOHCb1oHj_idBLJB8T_yd2mC7JsWlRd6qUHAwJkdkHCjKHJR9Vd5DkwnKrpD0x9bSJ3kVsmMGjD8MzGhnrAcGwC6B9EtmOB5a12MjB0OqGcbwFXgTP8s/s320/american+apparel+office+4.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500376819769197986" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://similaraddiction.blogspot.com/2010/07/american-apparel-index.html">AMERICAN APPAREL INDEX</a>Flaviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188655207393958559noreply@blogger.com6
