Kinetics Whisper 2019 | Swatches | Review

Thursday, September 05, 2019

This is Whisper. Autumn 2019 collection by Kinetics, kindly sent to me for a review by the company.
A collection of eight different polishes,  and one of the things that I love is that they all have a back story. Seven beautiful creme shades, three different shades of red for every preference, one of the shades has a beautiful shimmer running through it. The whole vibe of this collection makes me think of a soft, foggy Autumn morning, drinking a warm cup of herbal tea.
 All 8 shades on a swatch wheel.
The brush is just the kind of brush I like - wide brush with a round bottom. It really helps to get as close to the cuticle as possible.
#437 Mild Flaws 
Kinetics own description of the color:
Satin beige
There is something pure about every imperfection. Like tiny dewdrops reflecting morning light and telling stories of wild summer memories. Save a dried hydrangea as your last summer’s souvenir. There is just something about the lacy, delicate, aged texture of one that is past its prime.

Soft, cool-toned nude creme polish, opaque in 2 thin coats, topped with SolarGel top coat. An everyday nude, inspired, in Kinetics' own words, by cotton plants, wool, and dried plants. Perfect for those days when you just want to tone it down with a subtle color. Honestly, Kinetics has one of the best nude polishes, I have many others from their previous collections, and they've been nothing short of amazing.




 #438 Holy Smokes
Kinetics own description of the color:
Dove grey
“Holy Smokes!” they screamed when they first time saw this shade. Slightly red shimmers are exposed only in daytime, leaving an enigmatic feeling of, “What just happened? I want more.”. Like warm breath in cold air fades away, this shade is inspired by old trees and smoky eyes that keep all the secrets for good.

Dove grey shade laced with red shimmer, 2 coats, topped with SolarGel top coat, dries a little darker and the shimmer becomes more subtle on the nail than appears in the bottle. Inspired by the Autumn fog, it definitely carries a sort-of tranquility within itself, and the little red shimmer is a lovely touch to this color. Definitely one of my favorites because of the interesting combination.





#439 Morning Mist
Kinetics own description of the color:
Smoky violet clay
The early morning mist of late August is not hard to imagine, the mysterious feeling when nature sends calm signals of mode changes. Smoky violet mud mixed with grey clay has an indescribable synergy offering you a slow, deep and
mature beginning of fall. Inspired by a misty morning at the black sand beach in Iceland.

Purple-grey creme shade, 2 coats with SolarGel top coat. I really love the purple undertone of this polish, which creates a unique color.



#440 Serene Doubts
Kinetics own description of the color:
Lust red
A playful and energetic shade that emphasizes feminine and youthful aspects. Inspired by rubellite crystals, it reminds us that we must find unconditional self-love before we can love another. This lust red color encourages you to find the way of your pace doubting serene for sure.

Rubellite red polish, has that sort of squishy jelly coverage at one coat but covers perfectly at two, but if you are going for the jelly look, you could definitely use one coat and it would look amazing. 2 coats plus SolarGel top coat for the swatch photos. Its that classic red color but with a cool undertone. I usually steer clear of this kind of red as I think it doesn't suit me that well, and was pleasantly surprised to see how fresh it made my skin look.




#441 Absolute Catch
Kinetics own description of the color:
Cranberry red
The first thing on your mind – the shade of hearts in old love story books. It’s an
absolute catch – The One. The cranberry red color exposes all the love stories, that never-ending movement of butterflies in your stomach. Our dizzying spritz reveals new heights of light and bitter at the same time.

Cranberry red color, 2 coats topped with SolarGel top coat for the swatch pictures. Now, this color is closer to the kind of red I would wear on an everyday basis.





#442 Whisper
Kinetics own description of the color:
Burgundy
A deep tone of voice whispers highlights of your background, of all those things that made you who you are today. Inspired by Mark Rothko’s artwork, this deep burgundy red symbolizes wealth, power, and ambition. A dark reddish-purple color, like the color of wine, it has been well aged and improved.

Wine red creme polish, one coat for the swatch photos, topped with SolarGel top coat. One of my personal favorites in this collection, but I generally love wearing dark colors for the Autumn/Winter season.





#443 Tender Memories
Kinetics own description of the color:
Maroon
This dark reddish-purple shade is often used to represent intense and passionate things like confidence, excitement, power, risk, and love. This maroon color has been inspired by an industrial indie autumn wedding – flower bouquets of dark peonies, roses, and dahlias, dresses of satin layers and magically wild laces.

Mulberry creme is what I'd like to describe this color as, another one coater from this collection. I really love how unique this color is, almost to a point where it is impossible to pinpoint what the color is. Something new in my collection that I definitely see myself wearing this color during this Autumn.




 #444 Faith Reflection
Kinetics own description of the color:
Dark purple night
Talking about faith reflection, imagine late autumn lightening in the night skies: there is no sound, just the pure wonder of nature also known as silent fall rust. This purple nights shade is often associated with royalty and power, and also represents the meaning of mystery and magic – so how else would you explain the color interaction of the universe and purple metallic rust?

Beautiful luxury looking purple creme, one coat used for the swatch picture, of course, topped with SolarGel top coat. I would say it looks more purple than blue in real life, it is quite the challenge to capture the exact color. It is a tough decision for my favorite of this collection in-between Whisper and Faith Reflection.
