Texture Week - Kinetics Private Jet

This is the last textured polish that I have to share with you. Kinetics Private Jet is a black sand-like polish. It actually looks like leather and when dry feels like plastic on the nails. This is also the polish where you can see the textured particles the most - they are white and sit on top of the polish, making it look grey, not black. This is especially noticeable on the first coat which applies very sheer, but two coats are enough to make it wearable. This is the polish that makes me appreciate the textured trend. I like how it looks and how it feels on my nails.

Texture Week - Kinetics Crying Lamborgini

Kinetics Crying Lamborgini (what's with the stupid name?) is a raspberry jelly with sand particles as well as blue and magenta pink glass flecks mixed in. Again I used just two coats, and the polish dries rater quickly. While it is pretty in its textured form, it is absolutely amazing with the top coat, and it reminds me of Orly Miss Conduct.

Texture Week - Essence Here's My Number

Okay, this, simply put, is one awesome polish.This is probably my favourite sand polish I own. It is very beautiful, both when it is textured and with the top coat. Here's My Number is a charcoal grey polish that has small matte black glitter in it as well as slightly larger holographic glitter that flashes mainly blue, green and red. This was two coats.With the top coat on it looks kind of like OPI Midnight Blue Glitter on steroids.

 

Texture Week - Kinetics Jackpot

Continuing on with the textured sand polishes I have, today I have Jackpot from Kinetics. It is pretty much exactly the same as Bali Escape, just a pale pink-beige shade instead of silver. I think that  it is a very work safe shade, it is barely there, not very noticeable and I like it. I quite like these Kinetics 'leather and sand' polishes, because they tend to last 3+ days on me.

Texture Week - Essence Me & My Lover

Well, this is one of the first sand-like polishes I tried (because I didn't want to spend money on OPI and not liking the textured trend at all) and it was quite a horrible miss for me. The polish itself is rather pretty, but after putting it on, it started to dry, which takes a long time on me. Thankfully it only needed two coats. To me this colour combined with texture just doesn't work :(

This polish looks great with a top coat, a kind of pink-red jelly with pink, yellow and gold irregular-shaped glitter.

Texture Week - Kinetics Bali Escape

Hi guys! I've decided to dedicate this week to all the sand textured polishes. Since I'm not such a great fan of these, I think that otherwise I won't get around to wearing them.
The first one I have for you is Bali Escape from Kinetics. They call these texture polishes Sand & Leather.
I was actually pleasantly surprised with this polish - the formula is pretty nice, I used only 2 coats, it dried relatively quickly, and I actually like how it looks. It consists of somewhat sheer silver base with textured particles and larger silver hex glitter that stands out. I'm still not sold on the whole sandy texture though, it feels rather rough to the touch. I like the fact that the texture makes it look both shiny and and not shiny at the same time.
