KIKO - Luxurious Indigo (+ possible dupe)

Today I'm showing you a nail polish from the new KIKO collection "Life in Rio".

The polish is 474 Luxurious Indigo.

This polish has a sheer blue base with a purple shimmer. In real life the shimmer is very strong and visible.

Three coats in the pictures.

This polish is super pretty and I really like it.

Unfortunately after I came home I noticed it looked a lot like another KIKO nail polish in my collection: 424 Pearly Siren.

Pearly Siren is from the "Colours in the World" collection.

They aren't perfect dupes but are really close.

Luxurious Indigo is more sheer but the shimmer is stronger.

Delicate Flower Print

After my last "dark" mani I wanted something light and delicate on my nails.

Since Julep asked me to create a spring inspired mani for their blog, I decided to create a flower print.

I absolutely LOVE this mani, I can't stop staring at it!

 

 To create this mani I used Deborah Pret a Porter 46 Get The Nude Look as my base colour and then added a few "branches" with ORLY Rage.

For the flowers and buds I used white acrylic paint and Catrice 650 Goldfinger in the centre of the flowers.
