Adorned Nails: KOH Green Stardust



Meet Bronzation's and Blue Universe's cousin: Green Stardust. It is probably the least 'exciting' of the bunch of KOH flaky polishes but that doesn't mean that it doesn't deserve some love here.

Green Stardust is a dark grey/khaki green jelly with silvery micro-glitters and the usual iridescent flakies. The flakies are green when viewed upfront and aqua/blue and sometimes purple when viewed at an angle.


With flaky polishes, it's always nice to pile on the layers to pack on the metallic flakes for maximum impact. I did four coats on all nails except the ring finger, which has three.

Because it's basically a jelly polish, polishing with it is so trouble-free. Also, in general, any flaws in application or any minor dents tend to elude detection due to the busy-ness and density of particles in the polish. Gotta love flaky polishes for that!

This is such a different take on flakies, I really like it. I must admit the blue version is my favourite, but I'd love to own either one of them all ;) This colour looks gorgeous on you!

Awesome! This green is soooooo beautiful, can't breath. Mind you this coming from someone who didn't like green that much but coz of you turned into a greenaholic!

I love all the flakies you have shown here. Stunning photos as always my dear.

Wow, that's a really nice colour. I'm into all kind of greens and especially greens with a hint of brown! Wow, I should buy this immediately!

Adis said...

LEAST exciting?! Are you kidding me?!
Note to self: Go to store and buy it :(!

(You're awful for my wallet you know :p.)

Gorgeous nails, beautiful polishes! So glad I came across your blog! =)

@thenailaholic
I'm glad you like it! :)

@AmyGrace
Thank you! :)

@Jette Fromm
Thanks! Personally, I think Blue Universe is the most awesome of the three......so far. :)

@rmcandlelight
Haha, it sure is! :D

@KittyBonkers
Keep this one in mind for next time. You might want to get Blue Universe along with it too. :)

@Toyomi
A green fish! Hee hee! :D

@D.Sadie
Thank you! I use a simple Nikon D40 but this model has unfortunately been discontinued. You could check out the D3100 model instead. Btw, I have no secrets. The camera does most of the work for me. :D

@Poetic Realist
Well, KOH does do international shipping these days (shipping fee is a fixed rate). So, it is possible for you to order KOH online. Do have a look at my post called Guidelines On Where To Buy KOH Nail Polish. It has information on how overseas customers can order KOH through their website. :)

@KTee
Heh heh, I'm a green influence. ;D I'm glad you love this one, KTee. It's actually even more awesome in real life, to be honest. Some things, you just need to see them in person. :)

@Cristina
Yay, I'm pleased to hear that! :)

@Jello Kitty
I'm very happy you like this one. :)

@sky@laestetica
With flaky polishes, you really need close-up photos for readers to be able to appreciate its iridescent beauty. Thanks! :)

@-Diana-
Thank you, Diana. I'm pleased you took the time to read the tag/award section! That's very sweet of you. :)

@nail crazy
I'm glad you like it. :)

@sugar sugar
This is unlike any other polish I've seen either. It's great that you like this one, sugar sugar. :)

@BellasUnhaseCia
Oh, it's great that this is to your liking. Obrigada! :)

@Stormayhlegj
It's more green than brown, actually. I'm glad you like its beauty! :)

@Adis
Well, so far, I still think Blue Universe is da bomb. BUT that's just me. :P Still, this Green Stardust is even more pretty in real life. Its green is even greener. Have a look in the store if you have the chance.

I know, I am a very bad influence to some. Yikes, I should be arrested by the beauty police! I did say to you once: The more you see, the more you would want to buy. Sigh! If you can restrain yourself, try to wait for offers at the parfumerie stores. Sometimes, Douglas has 10% off offers and some other stores may have BTW-vrij days. It will take some waiting but such offers do make a difference. I bought mine during one of those special offer days. :)

@Honey Bomb
It's very nice of you to drop by. Thank you for your kind words! :)

Stunning! Breathtaking! Drooling! Amazing! Who doesn't want to own one of the flakies.

Awesome photos. You are a real pro my dear!

Take care, Nicole x

Witoxicity said...

@Nicole
Thank you, Nicole! I gotta say, flakies are really fun in every way. :D

Anutka said...

I'm fascinated by this polish! I keep looking at it and can't figure out the color. Looks great on you :)

Witoxicity said...

@Anutka
Thanks, Anutka. Flakies and holos have that effect on us all. :D The base colour for this one is green-grey but irl, the green is a bit more prominent. :)

Paulina said...

it looks good on you!

Witoxicity said...

@Paulina
Thank you, Paulina. :)

Honey Bomb said...

PS - I think this may be a close dupe to Alessandro Poison Green, but I'm sure it's a better value as the Alessandro bottles are so tiny!

Witoxicity said...

@Honey Bomb
Thanks for the possible-dupe alert. :) Well, the Alessandro bottles contain only 5ml and I believe they cost just under €5 each. The KOH polishes come in 10ml bottles and they retail for €14.95 each. It looks like Alessandro wins in terms of better value but for the price that you pay for KOH, you do walk away with a classy case as well. :)

Honey Bomb said...

Good call! Thanks for the comparison on size/price. =)

@Honey Bomb
My pleasure! :)
