Polished by KPT - Permanganate & Dichromate

Press Sample

Hi everyone!!

I have my last Polished by KPT post for you today. This post is of another 2 thermals, 'Permanganate' and 'Dichromate', both from the Transition Elements collection. No surprises, these are another 2 that are GORGEOUS!!


Permanganate, Polished by KPT, thermal, swatch
This is 'Permanganate' which is a thermal & chrome polish. The transition is from a beautiful icy blue when warm, to a rich purple leaning blue, almost indigo, when cold.

These pictures show 'Permanganate' transitioning from hot at the top through to cold in the bottom photo. I absolutely adore the finish of this polish, the slight chrome affect catches the light so beautifully giving it a real x-factor in my opinion (and perfect with these colours in particular).

'Dichromate' is an equally beautiful thermal chrome polish. This one is just perfect for the autumn weather we are having at the moment. I absolutely love this fiery polish. The gold, coarse shimmer again gives this polish that little extra something.

Again, the top photo shows Dichromate in cold temperatures and the bottom photo is cold (look at the shimmery goodness against the orange!).


Both of these polishes were lovely to work with. Easy to apply and nicely opaque – 2-3 coats was plenty for me. Both of these were very sensitive to temperature changes and were constantly changing and often seen to be the most wonderful gradient between the 2.
