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!

    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. :)

    I love this kind of color, even if it doesn't look nice on my skintone. :(
    The glitter polish is absolutely lovely too. :)

    The glitter and the blue really complement each other! Such a beautiful combo, you're a genius Jenni :D

    This is a beautiful color! I always love those blue/mint/Tiffany's type colors and this is no exception. Thanks for sharing!

    Such a creamy beautiful color. I really love how the layer of glitter polish looks over this!

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

    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!

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

    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!

    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 ;)

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

    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.

    That polish looks great alone, but the glitter really sets it off!
