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 Backstage Collection – fall – winter 2010 – with flash

I’ve swatched all the colors yesterday and I’ve already decided which are my top 3 favorites. Some of them have a hint of glitter inside which gives them a metallic finish, while others have a rich creamy texture. I’ve noticed that Explosive nail polish, that bright red has a super shiny finish and a top coat is useless. I’ve seen this mirror effect shine only at Shellac.

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.

Chanel Mistral 517 Le Vernis from Les Pop-Up Summer 2010 Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Hello my dears,

Today I thought I catch up on some of those nail polish reviews so I’m ready to tell you all about Chanel Le Vernis in Mistral 517. Before I start giving you my honest opinion I must tell you this is the first time I try Chanel nail polish and being that obsessed with pink I wanted to have both Mistral and Riviera polishes from Chanel Les Pop-Up Summer 2010 Collection. Riviera was sold out so I was left with Mistral. I’ve paid 17.60 Eur ($23 in the U.S.) for the 13 ml bottle and I was ready to start my first experience with a Chanel nail polish.

The color looks so pretty in the bottle, although I could tell it was a pale pink I was anxious to get it on my nails and see those fine glitter particles shine.

After 2 layers of Mistral 517 this is what I got. icon sad Chanel Mistral 517 Le Vernis from Les Pop Up Summer 2010 Collection   Review, Photos, Nail Swatches If this was a lip gloss I would said it’s sheer on the lips but being a nail colour and especially Chanel, well I was disappointed to see that after 2 coats the color is so transparent and lacks that shine that I was expecting from those micro-glitter particles. Of course with the help of a top coat any nail polish can look shiny but then what’s the point of buying from a famous brand if I’m going to add extra top coat to make it shine. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m always adding a layer of top coat to preserve the color but I expected that Mistral was glossy and shiny all by itself.

Kinetics Divine Nail Polish from Summer Kiss 2010 Summer Collection – Review, Phothos, Nail Swatches

Hello everyone!

I’m finally beginning to review nail polishes again because my nails returned healthy and strong from their 1 month vacation. icon smile Kinetics Divine Nail Polish from Summer Kiss 2010 Summer Collection   Review, Phothos, Nail Swatches I really missed writing nail polishes reviews but I had to take a break from swatching since my nails were not looking very healthy lately and I had to cut them short all the time.

I will open my review series with Kinetics Divine nail polish, a bright summer color from Kinetics Summer Kiss collection for Summer 2010 (swatches with all the colors included in the collection).

Only yesterday I had the heart to brake up with Divine, after 8 long days. I simply adore this joyful color and it’s easily to notice that it’s my favorite from the entire collection. I’ve discovered Kinetics brand only last year and I couldn’t be more happy about it since I really tried some of their gems. The prices are very cheap, somewhere between $ 6.70 – $ 8.10 for U.S. and Eur 5.30 – Eur 6.30 for Europe and you can easily find high quality nail polishes. I don’t want to say that all the polishes from one collection are diamonds but usually most of them are keepers. If you read Chicprofile for a while you already know that I want chip resistance from a nail polish and a beautiful color so I can wear it on my nails more than 4 days. I don’t like to change colors every 2 days so I’m not easily impressed only by a nice shade.
