Kinetics Ice Smoothie and Rich & Chick Nail Polishes Review, Swatches, Photos

by Tavia

Hello beauties!

Today I want to share with you my review for Kinetics Ice Smoothie and Rich & Chick nail polishes, two nail colors that I’ve been wearing for a couple of days last month. These two shades are part of Kinetics Penguin Galaxy Collection (info, photos, swatches) that was released a few months ago. As you know I like to review each nail polish separately and show you before and after photos but I wanted to combine and wear Kinetics Ice Smoothie and Rich & Chick together as I really like how the complement themselves and adding a some glitter will definitely give this purple a more interesting and luxurious appearance.

Kinetics Ice Smoothie Nail Polish (€6.00/ 25.00 Lei/ £3.60 for 15 ml/ 0.5 fl oz) is a deep blue based purple with cool undertones and a shiny finish. It has a light creamy formula which delivers a beautiful glossy finish. The polish applies amazingly well, gliding easily, evenly and effortlessly across the nail without streaking, pooling or bubbling.

It looks pigmented and opaque in only one coat and as you can see from the photos bellow there’s no difference in pigmentation between the first layer swatch and second one. Kinetics Ice Smoothie is a rich, deep and intense purple shade which makes it a mysterious and elegant looking nail polish.

To give Kinetics Ice Smoothie nail polish a more glamorous look I decided to apply Kinetics Rich & Chick polish. On my left ring finger’s nail I’ve applied the glitter after two coats of purple polish while on my right hand nails I applied it only over a layer of Kinetics Ice Smoothie.

As a base coat and top coat I used Kinetics Nano Shark Nail Treatment which is a 3-in-1 product and also helps restoring damaging nails.

Kinetics Rich & Chick Nail Polish (€6.00/ 25.00 Lei/ £3.60 for 15 ml/ 0.5 fl oz) is actually a multicolored cool-toned violet taupe glitter with squared gold flecks and round black flecks. It has a light jelly formula that gets applied easily on the nail but it takes up to 2 or 3 layers to build it up to a medium coverage.

I would see this glitter paired with a colored creamy nail polish like Kinetics Ice Smoothie or layered on top of a black or white polish but if you prefer it you can wear it on its own but it will be hard to get a fully opaque color coverage.

I really like the effect that it gives to this purple nail polish which is Kinetics Ice Smoothie, it changes its appearance and it makes it look more glamorous and really makes the purple base pop. I would like to wear Kinetics Rich & Chick glitter for a fancy manicure whenever I have a special event to go to, or a wedding or something that will need a more sparkling manicure.

I’ve been wearing this nail polish combination on my nails for about 4 days before I removed it and you can see in the swatch photos bellow how it really looks like. On my left hand nails where I’ve applied the purple base in two coats, the glitter in one coat and a thin layer of top coat the results are minor tip wear on all of my nails except the index finger where the polish chipped because I bumped my finger and I exfoliate one layer of nail from the tip of the nail. The color is still rich and pigmented and it keeps a natural shine.

On my right hand nails where I’ve applied only one layer of Kinetics Ice Smoothie and one layer of Kinetics Rich & Chick without the protection of a top coat the result is a the polish chipped on two of my nails. I want to say that I really put some effort in removing the glitter polish from my nails and you should definitely arm yourself with patience and a lot of acetone nail polish remover.
