Kester Black - Fairy Floss - review and swatches

Today I have my second Kester Black polish to review for you. Fairy Floss is a pretty pastel pink creme. As a pastel colour I wasn't sure how it would apply, a lot of pastels are very streaky and take a few coats to become fully opaque. Fairy Floss applied like a dream! In two coats I had full opacity with no streaking. Out of all the pastel pink colours I've used Fairy Floss is ahead of the rest as the application is so easy. Dry time was great and I just love the formula on Kester Black's creme polishes.

All Kester Black polishes are 5 free, vegan and cruelty free. Laguna is available for the Kester Black website at $17 for a 15 ml bottle. Kester Black ships to Australia and New Zealand. You can find out more about this brand from their website or visit their Facebook page to keep up to date with the news.

Just a little nail art - more to come next post.

This polish was sent to me for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Please note computer monitors may vary in colour display.

Kester Black - Laguna review and swatches

shade

Today's review is of Kester Black's Laguna. This is a beautiful deep teal super glossy creme. The quality of the polish is just fantastic and so easy to use. Kester Black have rounded brushes which I find really helps with application. I know brushes are a personal choice but this brush would have to be my favourite to use. The rich teal is heavily pigmented and I'm wearing just 2 thin coats. I did add top coat for protection but without the top coat the formula is super glossy. Another thing I was really impressed with was that it did not stain my nails at all. Teal is notorious for leaving stains behind, but Laguna was easily removed with no staining. I've taken photos under artificial light and in direct sunlight, I have noted under each photo which light was used.

I love that Kester Black is Australian made and the quality of the polish is very high. All Kester Black polishes are 5 free, vegan and cruelty free. Laguna is available for the Kester Black website at $17 for a 15 ml bottle. Kester Black ships to Australia and New Zealand.

I had to add some nail art to this beautiful teal, I painted my middle and ring finger white, used top coat, waited until it was dry and made a criss cross pattern with striping tape. I then carefully painted the nail and pulled the tape off quickly but gently with my tweezers. I like the end result and this felt like the perfect polish to wear for the first day of Autumn.
