Kinetics Nude and Natural Nail Polishes – Review Round-Up

Hello beauties!

Today it surely looked like we were celebrating Kinetics nail polishes here on Chicprofile because of the many nail polish reviews I posted. As many of you might have figured out I’m a dedicated fan of Kinetics products and nail polishes in particular not because they have a great formula and they tend to last on nails up to 7 days with very minor chipping but also because they come at very affordable prices compared with other high-end nail polish brands out there. I admit I was a little skeptical when I first tried my first Kinetics nail polishes about 5 years ago but since then I’ve recommended this brand to almost every person I know.

La Prairie Cellular Luxe Lip Colour in Geranium – Review, Photos & Swatches

Hello beauties!

Today I’m going to finally review my all time favorite lipstick La Prairie Cellular Luxe Lip Colour in Geranium. Most of you know me as a lip gloss girl and I can honestly say that I don’t own more than 10 lipsticks from which most of them were received for review purposes. With La Prairie things have always been different for me. I’m a huge fan and customer of their skincare products as I’m sure you’ve noticed from my reviews but since I’ve tried a couple of their makeup items a few years back I’m forever in love with this brand. I know it’s a luxury brand and most of you will probably judge me for this but my sin is that I’ve always liked to indulge in luxury skin care products rather than makeup.

Kinetics Beige Anyway Nail Lacquer – Review, Photos & Swatches

Hello beauties!

The beautiful Kinetics Beige Anyway nail lacquer rested on my  nails only for a day and the true reason is that I have so many nail lacquers to review that I didn’t give myself the luxury of testing this shade for a few days. It’s part of Kinetics Winter 2012 Let’s Pink Collection (preview & swatches) and a beautiful shade like this I’m sure it will attract the attention of those loving nudes with a touch of glamor on their nails.

Kinetics Beige Anyway nail lacquer (€6.00/ 25.00 Lei/ £3.60 for 15 ml/ 0.5 fl oz) is a pretty medium-dark creamy beige with discreet gold shimmer and a glossy finish. In one coat Beige Anyway has a semi-opaque color coverage and it looks more like a medium golden beige but the second coat delivers an even opaque color, a more intense beige with beautiful golden shimmery particles that makes a manicure look natural but with a touch of glamor. It has a creamy formula, very well balanced so it wasn’t too thick or too thin which made the brush glide easily on the nail without pulling, bubbling or streaking.

Kinetics Smoky Pearl Nail Polish – Review, Photos & Swatches

Hello pretties!

Kinetics Smoky Pearl nail polish could not bear a better name to describe its color. This beautiful lacquer is part of Kinetics Winter 2012 Let’s Pink Collection (preview & swatches) and I’ve wear this color only for a day on my nails so there won’t be any before and after photos available in this review.

Kinetics Smoky Pearl nail polish (€6.00/ 25.00 Lei/ £3.60 for 15 ml/ 0.5 fl oz) is a light smoky gray with green undertones and beautiful pearl shimmer in a creamy formula. The color looks sheer and streaky in one coat but fully opaque, glossy and less streaky in two coats. It has a medium consistency, maybe a little bit on the thinner side and that will explain the streakiness after the first coat. During the application I had no pulling along the edges or bubbling. Those tiny discreet pearly particles give this Smoky Pearl nail polish a glamorous effect but I still decided to add a layer of my favorite Kinetics Nano Shark Treatment (review & swatches).

Kinetics Summer 2013 Naked Beige Nail Lacquer – Review, Photos & Swatches

Hello beauties!

If you are in the mood for a natural shade on your nails then you might want to read my review for Kinetics Naked Beige nail lacquer which is part of Kinetics Summer 2013 Crazy Daizy Collection (preview & swatches) that I received from Kinetics a few months ago. This time I choose to wear this color on my nails for only one day because I’m a little behind with my Kinetics reviews so I won’t be able to show how my nails looked liked after a few days wear.

Kinetics Naked Beige nail lacquer (€6.00/ 25.00 Lei/ £3.60 for 15 ml/ 0.5 fl oz) is a light rosy beige color with a creamy formula and a satin finish. This Naked Beige is a beautiful natural nude shade that will complement almost every skin tone. It has a medium creamy consistency which delivers an almost opaque color coverage from the first layer and a fully opaque color after the second coat. I had some issues when I applied the first coat but I noticed some bubbling at the edges but no streaking or pulling. The second coat of Naked Beige polish managed to cover the bubbles and delivered an opaque even color with a satin shine and glossy finish.

Hello lovelies!

Today I will review Kinetics Dawn Tea nail polish from Kinetics Winter 2012 Let’s Pink Collection (preview & swatches) that I’ve told you about a couple of months ago. I worn Dawn Tea only for a day on my nails so this time I don’t have any before and after photos to show you and I can’t show you how long lasting this color really is.

Kinetics Dawn Tea nail lacquer (€6.00/ 25.00 Lei/ £3.60 for 15 ml/ 0.5 fl oz) is a medium green taupe resembling the color of a green tea. The color is semi opaque in one coat and fully opaque and with a glossy finish after the second coat. The formula was just slightly on the thinner side which made the lacquer look a bit streaky when I applied the first coat. The second coat of Dawn Tea polish was applied smoothly and covered any streakiness that the first coat left behind, without any pooling on the edges of bubbling.

Balea Gentle Cleansing Milk – Review, Photos & Swatch

Hello pretties!

I’ve purchased Balea Gentle Cleansing Milk about a month ago from Dm drugstore and I’ve used it enough to review it today and tell you about my experience with this product. It’s a product that can be used on every skin type and will help you remove your makeup, impurities or dust. The Gentle Cleansing Milk comes in a white opaque bottle which hides the exact amount of the product left inside. It’s very easy to use by removing the cap and gently pressing the bottle for the milk to come out.
