Kinetics Quick Change Nail Polish from Backstage Fall – Winter 2010 Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Hi Girls!

Last week I finished testing all the colors included in Kinetics Backstage Nail Polish Collection for Fall – Winter 2010 (preview + swatches) so it’s time to start reviewing the entire collection.

Quick Change nail polish is a pastel gray creme with fine silver glitter and the lightest color of this collection.  It comes in a 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) bottle and the price is different for every country but just so you can get an idea the average will be 3.50 Eur or 3.35£.

Quick Change is an opaque polish so 2 coats will be enough. It has its own shine and that wet nails effect look. This photo was taken under natural light and I’m wearing one coat of Nano Seal Treatment (review + swatches) and only 2 coats of Quick Change. I have a pale skin so I don’t like to wear pastel and nude nail polishes. This nail polish would definitely look better on someone with medium skin tone.

NOTD with Orly Pure Petunia and Blushing Bud – Photos & Nail Swatches

Hi girls!

After I finally finished testing all the nail polishes that I’ve got and pampered my nails with Kinetics Nano Treatments (review round-up) I can enjoy some of my favorite nail colors.

Shocking News about my Nail Polish Collection!

I love nail polishes but I’m not a collector so everytime I receive a new collection I just test them and after I give them away to friends or even include them in Chicprofile Giveaways. Most of you will be probably surprised to know that my nail polish collections includes only 5 bottles. icon smile NOTD with Orly Pure Petunia and Blushing Bud   Photos & Nail Swatches I’m no kidding about it and I’m pretty sure most of you saw on other blogs huge nail polish collections but no, I’m not an addict. I barely have time to wear these 5 colors since there are always new collections arriving so I prefer to give them away to someone that can enjoy them more often that I could. icon smile NOTD with Orly Pure Petunia and Blushing Bud   Photos & Nail Swatches

Now that I probably shocked you with this information we can pass to the color that I’m wearing on my nails today. Honestly I couldn’t decide which one to wear so I got this idea of a french manicure using both colors.

I’m talking about Orly Pure Petunia (review) and Blushing Bud (review) nail polishes both from Orly Bloom Nail Polish Collection for Spring 2010 (review round-up).

Which Orly nail polish should I wear next week?

Lancome Nail Polish for Spring 2011 – Sneak Peek

Hello my dears!

A few weeks back while they were getting ready for Fashion’s Night Out, Lancome showed us a little sneak peed from their upcoming Spring 2011 Collection.

Lancome Spring 2011 nail polish collection Lancome Nail Polish for Spring 2011   Sneak Peek

Those two new nail polishes in lavender colors will be featured on the Makeup Spring 2011 Collection. From this photo I honestly like the simple one but the glitter violet one with aqua marine reflections seems interesting too. When we will get to see the swatches…I wonder. icon smile Lancome Nail Polish for Spring 2011   Sneak Peek

I’m thinking about an entire collection in sweet lavender shades since Lancome is known to match their nail polish color with eye shadow quads or other products. And when I thought violet is the color suggest for the fall or 2010 now seems that we might see it again in the Spring of 2011.

Kinetics Blackout Nail Polish from Backstage 2010 FW Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Hello pretty girls!

I’m gonna start my reviews series of Kinetics Backstage Collection for fall – winter 2010 (preview post + swatches) with one of my favorite colors from this collection.

Blackout nail polish was one of the colors that I fall in love with instantly and I saw many of you like it also. Blackout is a perfect autumn winter color for me because I love wearing dark nails and this one is really dark. From a distance you may think is only a black nail polish but when you get a closer you discover that rich dark plum color with purple undertones.

Kinetics fall winter 2010 Blackout nail polish Kinetics Blackout Nail Polish from Backstage 2010 FW Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

I’ve notice that sometimes it can reflect  a burgundy wine shade with just a little bit of violet undertones. The color is rich, has a creamy texture which glides on easily, giving you a simple and even application.

Because it’s so dark it’s also opaque and 2 coats should be enough to get a glossy rich shade. Continue reading ‘Kinetics Blackout Nail Polish from Backstage 2010 FW Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches’

Kinetics Melting Ice Cream Nail Polish from the Summer Kiss 2010 Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Hello!

Finally the last nail polish review of Kinetics Summer Kiss Collection for summer 2010. I should have reviewed Melting Ice Cream nail polish first due to its name but since I’m crazy about ice cream I wanted to save this for last.

Too bad this Melting Ice Cream doesn’t have my favorite flavor. icon smile Kinetics Melting Ice Cream Nail Polish from the Summer Kiss 2010 Collection   Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Kinetics Melting Ice Cream nail polish – 2 coats and no top coat – natural light

When I look at this Melting Ice Cream I’m thinking cappuccino mixed with vanilla flavor because is such a pastel natural color. On my nails it look so simple because it gets confused with my skin color so I’m not usually wearing pastel nail polishes.

The color is a soft natural pink beige with a creamy texture. 2 layers of Melting Ice Cream were enough for me, the color is opaque and the application went out smoothly. Continue reading ‘Kinetics Melting Ice Cream Nail Polish from the Summer Kiss 2010 Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches’

Kinetics Hollyhock Nail Polish from the Summer Kiss 2010 Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Hi!

I’m getting closer to wrap up the Kinetics Summer Kiss 2010 Summer Collection (preview post + swatches) review series with one one of the last colors: Hollyhock.

Hollyhock nail polish is one of the pastel colors from this collection. I’ve already reviewed those bright ones so now it’s time for more soft and delicate colors.

Kinetics Hollyhock nail polish – 2 coats – natural sunny light

As you can see Hollyhock is a pastel light brown color with pearly finish and satin reflections. It’s a natural pastel color but I can’t say I’m crazy about these kind of shades because my skin is already too white and I like darker shades.

Kinetics Pale Petunia Nail Polish from the Summer Kiss 2010 Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Hi everyone!

Today I’m gonna review another nail polish from Kinetics Summer Kiss Nail Polish Collection for summer 2010 (preview post + swatches).

Pale Petunia is a beautiful pastel light lilac color with a creamy texture. This is one of the 3 nail polishes from this collection that are not so bright and does not contain any glitter or shimmer inside its texture. If you like a simple pale violet color with glossy finish then you should give your nails a taste of Pale Petunia.

Wearing Kinetics Pale Petunia – 2 coats – natural light

It took me 2 coats to get the final result for an uniform application. The polish is opaque and glides on smoothly, without woring about lines or uneven application. Before I’ve applied those 2 coats of Pale Petunia I laid 1 coat of Base Coat so by adding the final top coat I was afraid the 4 layers might too thick for the polish to resist more than 3-4 days.
