Import Review - Kiko Sun Pearl Collection!

He peeps! How goes it? I'm still uber busy preparing to open shop. I have yet to set an official date, but I'm projecting early August if all goes well. You know I'm a giveaway junkie if you've read any previous posts, and today I've got some awesome imports I won from The Mani Cafe's 100 FB likes giveaway!

You can check out Michaela's blog here, might I suggest liking her Facebook page here while you're at it? I was excited to win the Kiko Sun Pearl Collection for a few reasons...
1) I've never tried Kiko before
B) The colors are GORGEOUS!
3) My collection of international polish is very small, so these are a welcomed addition.

My macro kinda sucks, but I blame it on the massive amount of shimmer ;) I always have a hard time picking up shimmer, not the case with this though. I love the name too, Amable Chartreuse! How bout a little swatch-ism? It's a very awesome shade in my opinion...

 Guess what? I think I have a new obsession, collecting international polish! I definitely want more Kikos. The formula of Amable Chartreuse is uber sweet, perfect consistency. 2 coats did the trick, no top coat needed. Nice. I like the brushes too, they aren't the usual brushes, a tad thicker but not too big. Big fat brushes cause me to make a mess and that pisses me off. No issues with that using these Kikos. Here's a closeup for your viewing pleasure. You're welcome...

 Very pretty right? I LOVE the obscene amount of shimmer they added to these things :) Next up I've got Chili Pepper Red. This is the only one that made me curse my pallid skin tone. The bright red looks friggin amazing with the gold shimmer! Gives it a slight orangy look, perfect summer shade.

Please keep in mind each of these are way more spectacular than my macros suggest. Chili Pepper Red is super vibrant. Even though it would look better on darker folks, I'm going to be wearing this jewel quite a bit. I gasped out a string of four letter words when I swatched it. Check it out yo...

Another lovely formula, I used 3 thin coats. 3rd coat being just for small touch ups. As with the other Kikos, no top coat was used. Damn, that is a pretty color! And a closeup...

Very awesome. Next up is River Green. It is another very awesome concoction. Check it out...

The macro is awful, but my swatch isn't! Have a looky-loo...

This is the prettiest green I've seen in a while. Great formula, a glorious 2 coats offers plenty of coverage. No top coat. There's tons of that gorgeous gold shimmer, but it's loaded with green shimmer as well! Here's a closeup...

This may be my favorite so far. But wait...I still have to show ya the final shade of the Sun Pearl Collection. Blue Spot is probably my favorite, or maybe Chili Pepper Red is my fave. Or maybe Amable Chartreuse. No, I think they're all favorites. The fact that they are international makes them seem even prettier to me, teehee. I got creative with this swatch when I decided to show you how awesome the coverage is. Check it out yo...

No gold shimmer in this one. Blue Spot has silver-blue shimmer! How creative, I love it. Very refreshing. Look at mah swatch yo...

As you can see, Blue Spot is almost passable with one coat. A second thin coat is only needed for minor touch ups. Nice. I took note the shimmer is abound in this gorgeous shade just like the others, but the bluish-silver shimmer doesn't show up as much as the gold, therefore it doesn't look quite as shimmery. I still love it. As always, I must flash you a closeup...

See, it's still super shimmery just not as bright against the awesomeness of the blue base. I don't hold it against her one bit though. I've been collecting lots of darker blues lately and this one is one of the prettiest so far. My opinions on the Kiko Sun Pearl Collection. I dig the shit out of it. If you get a chance to try some of these, I would recommend it. Btw, if you're in the US or Canada and know of a place we can order these pretties from, please let me know! I'm on a no buy thanks to the polish-making venture, but hopefully it wont last too long. I'd like to try some other Kiko collections now me self....So, opinions anyone? which one's your fave? Own any Kikos? Love 'em, hate 'em? Leave me some comment love, until next time peeps!
