Polished by KPT Don’t Be Ranunculus

Hi everyone!

Short post today because my bf is waiting for me on the sofa. Haha :)

I decided to wear another one of my thermal polishes before the effect fades. This is a decant of Polished by KPT Don’t Be Ranunculus. It’s my first time with this brand and I had no issues with it. Quality is superb, it lasted long and it was easy to paint. Thermal effect also works wonders! It goes from a washed out lilac (hot) to burgundy (cold).

Two coats, no top coat. It dries matte.

Ciao a tutti!

Oggi post veloce perchè il moroso mi aspetta sul divano :D

Ho deciso di mettere un altro dei miei smalti termici prima che svanisca l’effetto. Questo è il Polished by KPT Don’t Be Ranunculus. E’ la prima volta che provo questo brand indie e non ho riscontrato alcuna pecca. La qualità è ottima, si stende bene, dura a lungo e l’effetto termico c’è e si vede. Vira da lilla chiaro (caldo) a borgogna (freddo).

Due passate, niente top coat. Asciuga matte.

As you can see it has small flakies inside rather than a standard shimmer, and you know I don’t love this finish, although it seems to be the latest and hottest trend in the indies’ world! For this reason, and for the colours that aren’t really me, I didn’t like this polish honestly. But again, wrong personal choice because the quality was amazing!

Do you own any Polished by KPT? How is your experience with them?

Come potete notare ci sono dei piccoli flakies all’interno, non è il solito shimmer. Sapete anche che non amo questo finish, anche se pare l’ultima mania in fatto di creazioni indie. Per colpa del finish e del colore che nn è proprio di mio gusto non posso dire che mi sia piaciuto. Ma ripeto, gusto personale e scelta sbagliata perchè come qualità è davvero ottima.

Avete qualche Polished by KPT? Che cosa ne pensate?

    A me, invece, piace tantissimo questo Ranuncolo *___* Peccato che il KPT che ho provato qualche settimana fa (fratello di questo) non abbia praticamente mai cambiato colore, ma credo sia imputabile alle mie mani mono-temperatura ç__ç

    p.s. che bella grafia sull'etichetta, sembra stampata! :D :D :D

    I don't have them, but I have to admit the thermo effect here is easily visible and strong.

      Which is good because once the thermal effect vanishes it stays in the cold colour :p

      I've had the chance to get two decants off a friend so I can cancel it from my to-try list. Next step ILNP! ;)

    I love the transitioning pics! Thermals look amazing that way, but I still have yet to try this brand or any other that works like that on me.

      Oh really? Do you have warm hands? I noticed that people that mentioned thermals not really working on their nails tend to have warm hands. I have lower than standard body temperature so the change is probably bigger and more noticeable on me. But sure brands make a difference.

    I'm impressed by the transitioning effect, but the colours just don't work on you! It would probably look great on some people, but it is not to my taste either... You did capture it perfectly in your pics!

      I agree! Only thing that bothers me is that I need to use them immediately or the effect fades :(

    Non ne ho fisici, ma ne ho in WL e credo ci resteranno. L'hype del termico non mi ha presa tantissimo, il fatto che scadano non aiuta. Però in gradazione questo mi piace molto più che non nelle sue fasi a colore pieno.

      Guarda come qualità sono ineccepibili, quindi ben vengano se li hai in wishlist. Però sta cosa che scade la termicità (!) scoccia molto anche a me.

    Io rimango sempre un po' stupita dal fatto che non apprezzi i flakies, mi sembra strano, come le persone che non apprezzano gli olografici XD Lui è carinino ma devo dire che mi ha fatta morire il nome ahahah :)
