My Experience with Kiko Milano Quick Dry Nail Lacquer:

The nail polish comes in a round glass bottle with a black screw cap. The cap closes pretty tight and doesn’t open or dry out the nail polish. The brush is dense and flat and allows easy application of the color without any streaks. I absolutely love the mess-free application. It glides on like a dream and doesn’t cause any bubbles in the application.

The consistency of the nail polish is good. It is neither too runny nor thick. It is almost similar to other nail polishes available in the market. One of the main reasons I picked this one is because of its faster drying capability. The nail polish, as claimed, dries pretty quickly; it hardly takes 30 seconds since the first coat is applied. I am really pleased by this quality. One coat on my nails and they are ready for the next coat. I absolutely love its quick-dry capability. It is bliss for women who are on the go and have no patience to wait for the nail polish to dry. There is a saying that a woman is calm only when her nail polish is drying; Kiko has proved it wrong!

The shade range is amazing. There are several colors to choose from. I have seen many women sporting the daring red and I picked up a few reds this time and this is the first time I ever own red nail polishes. The colors go out of stock pretty fast and that shows the popularity of the shades and the range. The colors are well pigmented and just one coat creates an opaque finish. After the nail polish dries, it creates a glossy finish and with 2-3 coats, you can easily create a gellac finish. The pigmentation percentage is pretty high and 1-2 coats give you the desired finish. The shades are as below:

805 Cherry Pink: This is a Barbie pink shade. It is a deeply pigmented shade.

815 Taupe: This is a nude brown. It is also an opaque shade. The color, however, mixes with my skin tone and I assume that it would look great on fair skin tones rather than olive ones.

825 Martha Red: This is bright bold orangey red. It is deeply pigmented and with just one coat, you will have the desired effect.

826 Apple Red: Like the name suggests, the shade resembles a lot to the ripe juicy apples’ skin which you spot on the shelves in big supermarkets. It has a hint of magenta in it, but it is predominantly red.

846 Metallic Red: This is a shiny red version of Martha Red. It has a semi-glossy sheen and is lovely.

The nail polish is also formulated to be free from Toluene, Camphor, DBP, Formaldehyde Resin and Formaldehyde. The nail polishes do not cause any issues on the nails. They do not make dry them or cause any peeling. Whenever I remove the nail polishes, they do not cause any brittles on the nails or leave any stains, which is good. The only issue I have with the nail polish is its longevity. It hardly lasts 3-4 days on my nails with or without a base coat. They easily peel out after 3 days and fades away pretty quickly. Overall, the shades are pretty good but the longevity is a bummer. So, summing up:
