Candy Nails | Kiko Milano Limited Edition

Hello!

Nails aren't and have never really been my thing, although I always like to have them painted, I just never was that kind of girl to have them done, so I appreciate those nail polishes that have an easy application and last long because I'm lazy and honestly who has time to be constantly changing up the colour as soon as the old one starts to chip?

So I've never really payed attention to nail products, but the Kiko nail varnishes have always caught my eyes since I heard so many great things about them. The other day while I was searching through the store looking for the new collections, I came across the Candy Nails collection and decided to pick some colours up to try them. I went with Frozen Smoothies in Fair Persimmon and Candy Canes in Fun Guarana because with Spring and Summer coming along they seemed more appropriate, as well as a strengthening base coat since my nails break easily. I first applied the base and then went on with Frozen Smoothies and the colour went on so opaque for such a light colour! I didn't even need to apply a second coat which I really loved. After it dried down (which was fairly quick!) I applied Candy Canes which is a clear polish with little white, orange and pink particles. This looked so amazing on top of the peach colour, but I bet it looks lovely as well on it's own for a simple but fun look.

These were all 4,90 euros and I'm thinking of getting a ton of other colours because they have such a huge variety and I must say I'm so in love!

Kiko Milano Makeup Haul

Hey! I don't think I've ever mentioned this here, but... I've got a thing for makeup. Like, I can crush hard on a lipstick, I can daydream about an eye shadow palette, I'm literally the worst. All throughout my girlhood I've tried to stir away from it like I did from feminine things, because I thought they were stupid, meaningless and a weakness. And I just wanna slap little old me straight across the face for being so dumb and judgmental! Makeup has got to be one of my favourite things ever at the moment, and I must say I've missed on a lot. It's not all that I am, but a big part of me, since it allows me to express myself. One of the most affordable, yet of great quality products I love to fawn over, are the ones over at Kiko Milano. I've been saving for a couple of months to do something crazy, like, you know, just randomly buy a shit ton of makeup, and since fall has arrived, why not now?

From left to right: Velvet Mat Satin Lipstick in Cherry Red, Precision Lip Pencil in 312 Plum, Universal Fit Hydrating Foundation in 100N, Eye Base Primer, Radiant Touch Creamy Stick Highlighter in 101 rose, and Precision Eyeliner. 

                          

Can ya'll just give me a second to gush about these colours?! Like, honestly, what kind of fall/vampy vibes?? Also the packaging is just gorgeous.

I've made a few swatches with all of the products and I'm afraid I've chosen my foundation just one shade above mine so I'll have to mix it with a lighter one, but I'm so so pleased with all of these acquisitions! The mat lipstick is so smooth and doesn't dry my lips like some mat ones do, which is a great plus. Just one swipe of this lovely colour will do the business! The other products I've yet to try them but I'm very much looking forward to it!
