Such a pretty little delicate duochrome of pink, red and green flashes. It's very sheer and layering multiple coats never reaches full opacity, but it gives an interesting edge when applied to your nail polish of choice (Looks amazing over OPI 'Mod About You' or Essie 'French Affair').

I have only tried it once so far but it did such a brilliant job I had to review it straight away. I painted my nails in a dark purple almost black, I was really disappointed with the colour as it's a lot lighter and shimmery in the bottle so I thought I'd layer kisses and busses over it to see what would happen. It lightened the appearance of the purple polish and brought out the shimmer in it.

It was easy to apply because it's so sheer the streaks etc don't appear over a dark nail polish. The brush however is vey thin and I would like a wider brush.

I love this shade, it's great alone or on top of so many other shades. I got it on Asos for like €4 which is amazing fo ran Essie polish. This one dryes very fast and lasts ages...will buy it again.

This shizz looks amazing over everything. EVERYTHING! Gives a hazy, soft, pearly pink/red glow to your polish. So pretty! Even transformed a colour that looked super weird/death-y on me (Essie Body Language) into something I loved. Great formula too. (It'll never be opaque, but it's not meant to be.) Get it before it's gone!

A great layering polish that adds a delicate hot pink shimmer. Any sort of color typically released in the spring, including the trendier types (grey-purple, yellow, turquoise), it looks great over. When a bright crackle is involved, it gives sort of a Faberge egg look. My sister also loves wearing it alone.

this is very pretty, but very sheer, this would look great as a french base or maybe as a top coat. It has a pink opalescent shine.

A great layering type polish from Essie's Spring 2011 collection 'French Affair'. Last year I was all about cream polishes and I own quite a bunch. This spring/summer season I've come to love (hidden) shimmer polishes a lot more. This polish doesn't give of any base colour, just a pinky/purply sheen. Just layer it on top of your last year's cream colours and you're good to go for this spring/summer season! One coat does the trick.
I don't think I'll repurchase because one coat is all it takes; I don't suspect I'll ever run out!

Very pretty. Translucent shimmery pink and gold. Really nice with white French tips. I love it!

Kisses and Bises is a nice pearlescent polish. The milky base doesn't transfer onto the nail which makes this a beautiful polish for layering. The shimmer flashes mostly pink with some hints of gold everything in between.
Overall this is a fantastic polish, esp. if you're like me and get bored of your mani on the 2nd day already. Just put one coat of K&B onto your mani and voila, new oomph!

Kisses and bises (French for kisses) is from Essie's Spring 2011 collection. In the bottle, it looks white with iridescent shimmers of pink, gold and green; on the nail, it's a very, very sheer pink with subtle iridescence. On its own, the look is natural and shiny, but I think it would look wonderful over another color.
