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.

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.

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.

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

Hello!

Summer Kiss nail polish is part of Kinetics Summer Kiss 2010 Summer Collection (preview post + swatches) and because it has the same name of the collection means that this is the star color.

Kinetics Summer Kiss nail polish – 2 coats – no top coat – natural sunny light

Summer Kiss is probably the brightest and vibrant color of the entire collection. I’m not into red nail polish but this color really looked great on my nails. Is a bright red coral shade, with glitter particles that can give your nails different reflections. On sunny days my nails reflected more a bright coral with red glitter effects but otherwise the vibrant red take over. You can notice the fine glittery particles, of gold and silver that can change the tones of this color.

Kinetics Raspberry Fizz Nail Polish from Summer Kiss 2010 Summer Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Hi everyone!

Last week I finally finish reviewing all the colors from Kinetics Summer Kiss 2010 Summer Collection (preview post + swatches) and today I hope that I will have time to post the 5 nail polishes that were left to review.

Being a summer collection most of the colors were bright and with small glitter particles or even bigger ones included in its texture. Only three of the nail polishes from this collection were having a  more creamy texture and I’m talking here about those pastel colors.

Raspberry Fizz is probably the most interesting color from this collection. As you know I’m not a fan of red colors or any other colors resembling bright reds. Raspberry Fizz was indeed a new challenge for me but I’m more than happy that I got to test this color and see its multiple reflections.

Kinetics Yes! Nail Polish from Summer Kiss 2010 Summer Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Hey Girls!

Today I just removed Kinetics Yes! nail polish from my nails so I wanted to post this review right away. Also part of the Kinetics Summer Kiss 2010 collection (preview post, photos + swatches) Yes! is a beautiful vibrant violet color.

I absolutely love purple and violets nail polishes so this nail polish could not pass unnoticed. It’s a beautiful bright violet, with tiny silver particles hidden inside the creamy texture.

I laid 2 coats of Yes! nail polish and this is what I’ve got.

Yes! nail polish – without top coat – natural light

The color is not that opaque as I thought it will be so you might add a 3rd coat just to make sure you have full coverage. It has that creamy shine but if you want the “wet nails” effect you must apply a top coat. Continue reading ‘Kinetics Yes!

Kinetics Butterfly Wing Velvet from Summer Kiss 2010 Summer Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

A while back I received the entire Summer Kiss nail polish collection for summer 2010 (preview post + swatches of the colors includes in this collection) from Kinetics.

Being a big collection (includes 8 nail colors) it will take me some time until I will review each polish individually but for today I’m prepared with my second favorite from this collection: Butterfly Wing Velvet.

Kinetics Butterfly Wing Velvet without top coat – natural light

When it comes to nail polish colors I’m more into the darker side so when I saw this beautiful whiskey brown color I knew I’m gonna love it on my nails too. I took the photo in natural daylight (no flash) without wearing any top coat so you can see the real effect on your nails. I started with a base coat which is usually recommended especially if you are applying a darker nail polish and I finished with 2 coats of Butterfly Wing Velvet.
