I recently had the opportunity to review some polishes for KKCenterHK,
and I was excited and a bit skeptical. I didn't recognize any of the
brand names, and I remember all too well that experience with that
Nanacoco polish...
I was a little worried when the first polish that I opened actually
broke in transit. The polish bottle was shrinkwrapped, though, so it
didn't get all over anything. I was able to salvage the polish for
swatching, though I suspect the texture was a little thicker than it
would have been if it weren't opened.
Ebalay Dark Orange Gold Dust is a completely unique polish to my stash, and I thought it was just gorgeous.
This is the polish that broke, so the brush is a little sticky, but I
wanted you to see how thick it is. Not as thick as an OPI, but
definitely not skimpy.
Its a full-coverage glitter; this is two coats, no undies. I love that
it's not a bright Halloween orange, more of a cooked sweet-potato
orange, so perfect for the whole Fall season.
The second polish I chose was this
Myviven LC11 Sapphire
polish. The brush isn't as wide as the Ebalay brush, but it's still
thick enough to get the job done, and no wonky mop-tops here.
You've heard me rave about the dusty colors this season, and I chose another one, but look at that shine.
I'm really impressed with this brand so far. The formula was every bit
as nice as the local heavy-hitters. Smooth, shiny, self-leveling.
This polish was my fave of the bunch, and is probably one of my all-time favorite glitters now. This is
Myviven PA16, Metallic and Purple dots glitter.
This is another opaque glitter, two coats. I love the unexpected bits
of purple in this metallic gold base. Pictures just don't do it
justice. This felt like a great handmade polish to me - in formula,
the amount of purple glitter, and the way it just glided on.
Over this gorgeous glitter, I tested ..... a crackle. I admit it, I
wouldn't have chosen a crackle of my own volition. I never got much
into crackles - they never worked well for me, or were worth the
effort. I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like this one, either, so I
just ordered a color I thought would look nice.
This is
Myviven BA05 Cracked Misty Purple
over the Metallic Purple Dots. It actually cracked! I rarely have had a
crackle polish crack enough to see the polish underneath, so this one
is definitely a winner.
Nice color saturation, and a matte finish which looks great over the glitter.
I decided to put undies under the last Myviven polish, though I didn't
need to. This is Sally Hansen in Right Said Red. Loved the formula,
but the red was a little too cherry-leaning for me to love. I tend to
like blue-toned reds more.
Over Right Said Red, is
MyViven SG06 Copper Dots, a golden glitter with large and small hexes. "Copper" is a little misleading.. it's more of a champagne gold.
You could probably build this to opacity in 3 coats, but this was more of a dabbed on 1, maybe 1 and a half coats.
If you haven't tried these Ebalay or Myviven polishes from KKCenterHK, I
think they're worth getting. The formulas were all great, easy to use,
good payoff, and looked gorgeous.
