Tip Top Swatch Kingfisher

hi ladies today I worked on some swatches, which led me to step-by-steps

I wanted to review Tip Tops Nail Addict Kingfisher, I have heard some people dont like it, but I really love this colour.

This one is available at most fashini stores,
Here's what it looks like on
Its an amazingly rich dark blue and has a great shine to it, a definite must have

currently only available in South Africa, perhaps Tip Top will spread thier wings soon.
