K: Kinetic Candy, China Glaze

Today's ABC challenge features Kinetic Candy from last year's Spring, Electropop collection.  I wore this last year but I didn't take pictures of it.  I was surprised to see that KC has a trace amount of grey in it, just a trace.  The formula is fantastic, creamy, not chalky.  There was no wait time between coats therefore really easy to work with.

Here's a simple swatch of two coats.



Then I added glitter.  Santee's M89, Gift Sparkle, such a generic name.  


And... a quick comparison.


Well that's it for now. I hope you enjoyed this post!

  2. Beautiful color! I hate colors like this on me but love them on other people, it looks amazing on you. The only one I have like that is China Glaze Sea Spray, and I like that it has a more grey-dusty color to it. :)

  7. I like that color too. But I LOVE the purple/red/gold glitter you topped it of with. Looks like Mardi Gras.

  11. KC looks so great on you! My skintone doesn't go well with those aqua-pastels colours. But I do love Sea Spray instead, since you compared it!
    Where's the Santee brand from?? That glitter is amazeballs!

    1. I got Santee on eBay, it was in a pack of 5 glitters. It wasn't expensive. Thank you Simona!

  13. super post, Jennie! That color palette goes beautifully with your skin tone, and I'm loving the color comparisons.

    I don't have Kinetic Candy, but from this post, I'm preferring it to the others.

    And WOW re: the glitter. Gorgeous!

  14. Wow! That really looks gorgeous with the glitter! Thanks for the comparison. I started wanting this polish immediately but I already have Factory Girl so maybe I can live without it ;)

    1. They are very close. KC formula is better than Factory girl though.

  15. Great comparison! I hadn't noticed the slight dustiness to Kinetic Candy until you pointed it out, and the comparison makes it easy to see.
