2 coats + top coat |
Shade
Kiko Power Pro 073 is a stunning midnight blue shade. It contains fine turquoise micro shimmer and a small amount of larger silver glitter particles.
Check out the brush shot below to see how incredibly gorgeous this shade is.
However, it does look more magical in the bottle than on the nail. But it really comes alive under white lighting. I also find that the shade does look rather dull in sunlight as evident from the pictures below.
Application Tip: Try to work with medium coats, as the shade deepens with each coat and too thick or too many coats hide that micro shimmer leaving you with a very dark and flat blue shade.
This polish would also make a great base for galaxy nail art.
Formula
The
formula of this polish is definitely on the thicker side. However, that
helps in giving you an even and opaque coverage in 2 coats. The polish
dries fairly quickly. You do need a thick coat of good quality top coat
for a smooth finish as this does have an uneven finish when dry due to
the glitters.

Longevity
I can get about a week's worth of wear out of this polish with a good top coat. I see minor tip wear by day 5 but no chips.

Final Words:
This polish is beautiful in person, unfortunately I couldn't quite capture the exact finish in my pictures. It's had a hint of a metallic finish in person, like wearing a dark, reflective sapphire on your nails. I personally reach out for this polish quite often,
