Let’s start a New Year with a nail polish review!
I'm not a big fan of dark nail polishes; my collection is mostly build of
nude colors. But recently I decided to make some changes and buy makeup
products that are out of my comfort zone. One of them was also dark plum,
almost black polish from Essie, called Kimono over. This polish is from their fall
collection from 2016, inspired by Japan and is (thankfully) the only one that
caught my eye. If I'm not mistaken, it would become a part of permanent collection.
Kimono over in my first Essie nail polish, I didn’t know what to expect
since reviews about Essie’s products are so different. After reading about them
on forums I got a feeling that this brand is not so popular, maybe even bad for
your nails. But if it’s good for the Queen and apparently Mrs. Trump, it’s also
good for me.
I’m so used to OPI’s wide brushes and big caps which are very easy to
hold in a hand, that I had some issues when applying. The brush is so thin you
can draw details with it. Application so lasts a bit longer, I guess I would
need to get used to. On the other hand, formula is great. It’s medium
consistence cream with beautiful super glossy finish, which was a great
surprise. Wearing time is average, it dries quite fast.
First coat can be a bit streaky, but the second one provides full
coverage and very deepens the color, from dark violet to almost black.
I really adore the color and glossy finish, I often caught myself
staring at my nails thinking that’s so pretty. Here we come to the big down side;
this color is so hard to take off. Maybe you can solve this problem with using
a base coat. If it would be easier to remove I would definitely wear it more
often, but it stains, finger nails and goes under nails really bad.
