I must have been having a blonde moment when I made last order through GMarket as I ended up order duplicates of each of these colors. Truth be told, I had many of these moments in my early collecting stages before I started capturing all my polishes in a database. I can’t tell you the amount of OPIs I fell in love with, brought home, only to realize I already had two of the same color.
So if you like these colors, I will be giving each of them away. All you have to do is is add a comment and describe your most memorable kiss. A week from now, I’ll pick out my favorite story and send out the polishes to the winner. Kiss polishes for kiss stories. Fair trade, no? Both international and domestic polish lovers are free to join in.
So onto the actual polishes. I’ve seen Kiss manicure items in the US, but I’ve never encountered their polishes. The Kiss website doesn’t even mention nail polishes. I can only assume that this is a another one of these brands that targets their nail polishes outside the US. Which would make sense as I found these on the Korean GMarket site with a surprisingly extensive line.
All of the Kiss polishes shown could have been done in two coats, but I opted for three for better depth. Stash is your typical forest green with above average shimmer. Twinkle Purple is a purple base with highly reflective pink shimmer particles. You end up with a metallic look. Twinkle Lavender is another standard shimmer, but this one also has larger visible silver particles. Jilted Pink has a finish much like Twinkle Purple having fuchsia base with silver and pink shimmer. Of the four, Twinkle Purple and Jilted Pink are my favorites. I love this finish – shimmer on crack.

The kiss I remember most is my first one. It’s not because it was the first one, but because it is the worst one! It happened when I was 15 years old with a really drunk guy at a music festival. He slobbed all over my face and it was sooo disgusting! I just thought “Well, at least I have kissed someone now”. I sure wasn’t picky then.
My most memorable kiss hasn’t exactly happened yet… It’s probably a good idea to wait until the end of the semester before I slap a big wet one on my chemistry lab partner!
My most memorable kiss was just sort of cheesy and charming and awkward, but memorable to me because it was with the guy I am still hopelessly in love with.
I was on vacation with my best friend, but there was a lot of tension between us. We were both in relationships with other people at the time, and we’d just been trying to sort of step around it. We were on the “lanai” (apparently the Hilton in Anaheim is too fancy for a normal patio), sitting curled up together on one lounge chair under the stars and the cheesy palm trees. We’d been drinking a bit, and I was less inhibited than normal. I looked at him and said (slick talker that I am) “I really want to kiss you right now.” Thankfully he looked at me and said “I really want to kiss you too.”
We spent a little while out there getting acquainted in a whole new way but managed to sneak back into the group hotel room before anyone really noticed. XD
It was five years ago yesterday, actually. It was a 4th of July weekend. <3
I have been with the love of my life for 8 years now, but it doesn’t seem so long ago that we were in high school and in the budding stages of our romance. Every day after school he would walk me to my bus and wave like crazy to me as it drove off. It always made me laugh. At this point we hadn’t done any more than hold hands because he was really shy. I wasn’t, haha, but I didn’t want him to get the wrong idea about me. This was the first time I had been with a decent guy and I didn’t want to scare him off. One day there was a really bad thunderstorm and it was raining like crazy. The parking lot where the buses were parked was completely flooded and it was still raining hard. I didn’t want to get us both wet, so I tried to tell him bye right there. He refused, but I kinda expected he would. When we got to the parking lot, he picked me up and carried me right to the door of the bus. After he put me down on the bus steps he kissed me really quickly on the lips. It was as chaste as a mother’s kiss, but it was our first. I can still see him standing ankle-deep in the flooded parking lot with his hair plastered to his head, smiling and waving like a mad man. I knew before there was something great about him, but this is when I really KNEW.
Whew, and that was my most memorable kiss. Sorry for the epic length, but I wanted to tell it right. Not only is it my most memorable kiss, it’s one of my favorite memories in general.
Hmmmm, memorable good? Or bad? lol You choose.
Cliche but true on the good one. The first time the man I chose to marry kissed me, the earth did move I swear. I almost fell to my knees and since we were in public, that wouldn’t have been a good thing I think.
Now the bad one wasn’t BAD as much as weird. I was a junior in HS and went on a double date with a hot senior and his cousin + my BF. After the game, we were in the back seat and he kissed me. OMG. His tongue was so long it freaked me out so bad there was no second date! Shades of Gene Simmons! He didn’t know it, but his nickname was giraffe tongue ’til he graduated. (Giraffes have very long and…prehensile…tongues!)
Very cheesy, but it has to be my first kiss, with my very first boyfriend with whom I am still together (9 years now).
He took me to a concert on our first date and we had the best spot, in the middle of the floor. It was a very small venue and a relatively unknown band and the atmosphere was very good. We were both very shy, and a loud concert isn’t the best place to start a conversation (hehe, I still wonder what he was thinking, taking me to a concert on a first date). But as the night went on we crept closer to each other, not really daring to look each other in the eye…. and then I forgot where we were. At the end of the gig we were interlocked in a very tight embrace and a small empty circle had formed about us and everyone (even the band!) was peeking at us from the corners of their eyes!…then I remembered lol.
To this day that band is one of my favorites
My most memorable kiss has to be my first. Not because the kiss itself was memorable, but because of the atmosphere, the awkwardness, the butterflies.
I was at summer camp, and Jacques became my summer camp boyfriend that year. There’s not much to note about our brief “relationship,” but I remember feeling like I was seriously in love with this kid. I, of course, was not, but what can I say? I was an inexperienced twelve year old. I remember walking around during an all-camp game, and he started holding my hand. I guess that meant we were together. He also would drop my hand whenever a counselor walked by.
Anyway, on to the kiss. It was right after swim time. We’d gotten out of the water, and were drying off. Right before we were about to head separate directions to our cabins, he asked, “Can I have a kiss?” I said no because I was awkward and shy and uncomfortable (not much has changed). He kissed me anyway. I think I practically ran back to my cabin.
My most memorable kiss isn’t as happy or carefree as most of the ones you’ll receive, but it’s one that I’ll never forget and will cherish for the rest of my life.
My 21 year old daughter, Shay, had fought leukemia since she was 4 1/2 years old. Over the years she’d relapsed 5 times, had both a bone marrow and stem cell transplant but never lost her smile or her sense of humor. Each time the cancer came back, it was ‘Okay. Let’s do this’ and on she went.
The last time she relapsed, we knew there wasn’t anything more we could do for her, so to celebrate her last Christmas we (she, her sister and I) flew from Texas to Ohio to visit our family. The night before we were to fly home, Shay developed an infection. The next 4 days were spent by her bedside in ICU as she fought for her life.
Unfortunately, this time the cancer won and I had to sign the paperwork to remove life support from my first born child. Her sister, my sister, my niece and I were all in the room when Shay took her last breath, and the very last thing she felt as she slipped from this world was my kiss on her forehead as I told her I would love her forever.
I value that kiss more than any other I’ve ever had. It was one of the most painful times in my life, but knowing I was there for the end of her life, as I was at the beginning, gives me some comfort to hold on to.
So… that is my most memorable kiss.
Wow. That’s a tough one to follow up but I will do my best!
So my most memorable kiss came in 2009, when I was a junior in college. I had been dating the most wonderful Marine for three years and it came time for his very first deployment for Afghanistan. He was 0311 grunt (an infantryman for those who don’t speak marine
) I took his leaving very hard…I wrote him almost every day for nine months, sent multiple care packages and cried every single time he called me. It was stressful, it was horrible, it was rewarding…I was a mess of emotions for 9 months. I did have a good time learning to be by myself, I practiced my cooking so that when he came home I could cook without burning a pot! But anyways…
So their homecoming day was fast approaching and my donut of misery had slipped to one day. I drove myself down to Camp Lejeune and prepared to wait. I got all dressed up, painted a sign and plopped myself down on the curb 6 hours before they were due to land on base. When he stepped out of the bus, ladies, I swear, I have never seen a sexier, dirtier, happier man. I ran up through the crowds, I dropped my purse, my phone, my sign and jumped into his arms. He took one look at me and said “You are the most beautiful woman in the whole world and I love you more than anything and I can’t wait one more day to make you my wife” and kissed me. It was wonderful. It was magical and to date, the best kiss I’ve ever had.
I was going to tell you about my best kiss, but then I read Missy’s post and I broke into tears. She deserves a sparkly polish more than me!
Wow! Some great stories. While there were many that were extremely touching, I really related to Fiona’s homecoming story, being a former Marine, myself. So Fiona, I’m sending you an email to get your mailing address. As soon as I get it, I’ll send you four fab Kisses. Please don’t share them with your honey. =)
Ahh! I am so surprised that I won!! Thanks Gabrielle!! I can’t wait to try out my new polishes. Thanks again!!
My favorite kiss story is from one of the first times I hung out with my boyfriend. He drove me home from work one night (we worked together at the time) and when we got to my apartment, we were just sitting in the car, talking for a good while. I was really nervous because I really liked him. So, he kept commenting about how fidgety I was and how my body language and crossed arms gave away that I was nervous. After a while he said “Do I have to kiss you to get you to relax?” My heart jumped into my throat!!
Even 5 years later, thinking about it gives me butterflies. *blush*
