Kiko Wisteria: You may not be the best polish, but at least you aren't a horrible person

Well I had...a day. First half of the day was great. Second, not so much. Long story short, got onto a commuter train, and some annoying guy who was with his son, asked if he could use my phone. I said no, for multiple reasons. One being I just didn't want him using my phone. Anyway, he got angry at me and started going off and calling me the N word, and saying how horrible black people can be. And this went on for a while. I was livid. It took a lot for me to not say anything. Long story short I contacted security, and technically I can press charges for harassment, but I'm not going to. I don't want to waste my time on filth like that. I will say I felt bad for the son(who was for sure biracial[not black though]), who was telling him to "Shut up" the whole time.

Now for the polish. This is two coats of Kiko Wisteria, a periwinkle textured polish, sans shimmer. I honestly didn't know how I would feel about this. I love textured polishes, but never loved the look of textured without shimmer. I always though it looked like a bumpy wall, but I decided to wear this today because I do love the colour. Honestly, I actually really liked it at first. I think it looks good on the nail, but from a far. I think textured polish in general looks better when it's not right in your face. What I didn't like about it was the dry time was it was longer than any other textured polish I own, and it got DIRTY from the dark foundation on my face. Which was impossible to wash off.

Overall I don't hate this polish, but I don't love it. Maybe I can find something artsy to do with it!

Kiko 255 AND AN NYC MEETUP?

READERS IN AND AROUND NYC: THIS IS FOR YOU!  SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM!

So today I have for you another polish from my dear friend Irune in Spain!  Kiko 255.  I'm given to understand that Kiko is a European shop, and after seeing this in my gift bag from Irune I was EXCITED.  It's beautiful, and no matter how many photos I took I couldn't capture the sparkle, but yeah, it's there and it's pretty!

It's a gorgeous deep purple with a good amount of holographic sparkle.  This is three thin coats, but two thick ones would probably do it.

First two photos are in indoor light, last photo is natural light, outdoors. 

AND NOW, FOR OUR NYC AREA READERS/FELLOW BLOGGERS:
Kas and I will be in NYC for 10 days from the 16th of June until the 25th.  We would love to have a meetup in this time if any of you are into it :)  If anyone is interested in having a little hangout with us(lunch/dinner?) please email varnishedvalkyrie@hotmail.com and let us know when you're free!
