Hi everyone and happy new year!
I decided to start 2017 with a green nail polish, which is the colour of the year according to Pantone. Actually 2017 Pantone’s green is called Greenery and it’s not the exact shade I’m showing you today. I wanted a green anyway.
Kiko 391 Grass Green was part of Kiko’s regular nail polish line which is being discontinued unfortunately. The name says it all: it’s a beautiful grass green with a jelly finish. This finish is known for being less opaque than a creme but extremely glossy. Application is very easy and the brush slips well along the nail. Lasting time is not bad either, I wore it for 4 days without chipping.
In the pics you see 3 coats without top coat.

Ciao a tutti e buon anno!
Per iniziare il 2017 ho deciso di affidarmi al verde, colore dell’anno secondo Pantone. Il colore scelto per il 2017 si chiama Greenery, e non è esattamente la tonalità che vi mostro oggi, ma ho voluto cmq rimanere in tema.
Kiko 391 Verde Erba fa parte della linea di smalti classici di Kiko, che purtroppo stanno togliendo dagli scaffali. Come dice il nome è un bellissimo verde erba, dal finish jelly, ovvero traslucido. Questo particolare finish ha la caratteristica di essere meno coprente di una lacca, ma estremamente lucido. La stesura è semplice e il pennello scorre bene sull’unghia. Anche la durata non è male, io l’ho tenuto quattro giorni senza sbeccature.
In foto sono tre passate senza top coat.
I really like this shade and its finish! If you happen to find it in a Kiko shop it’s probably on sale so grab it while you can.
What do you think of this year’s Pantone colour?

Questo smalto mi piace tantissimo, sia come colore che come finish. Se lo trovate ancora in giro sarà sicuramente in saldo, e non posso che consigliarvi di prenderlo se ne avete l’occasione.
Cosa ne pensate del colore Pantone di quest’anno?
