Purple Lover's Dream!

I just love this mani so much, you guys!

This is one coat of KBShimmer's Happily Ever Aster over Sinful Colors Candy Coated.  You all know how much I adore KBShimmer polishes!  Isn't this beautiful?  I adore how much depth this glitter topper has - all of these glitters are laying flat on my nails!  Happily Ever Aster is a glitter topper from the Summer 2014 Collection.  "Periwinkle, light aqua blue, purple, lavender and white glitters swim in a clear base surrounded by tiny bits of holographic glitters for a sparkling top coat."

You can find Happily Ever Aster HERE on the KBShimmer site.

Every Nook and Cranberry

Here is a lovely polish from the KBShimmer Fall 2013 Collection!  I wanted Every Nook and Cranberry from the moment I read about it on the press release info Christy sent with my Blogger package in August.  My darling husband got it for me for Christmas!  Woo!

This polish is described on KBShimmer.com as "a cranberry satin matte polish with a subtle pink and gold shimmer."  I adore mattes and this one did not disappoint.  Every Nook and Cranberry goes on in two flawless coats for full coverage and has a pretty rapid dry time.  I oohed and ahhed over the gorgeous glitters and blue tones in this polish as I applied it and I really want to try it out with  top coat!

 

Here is a DIRECT LINK to Every Nook and Cranberry on the KBShimmer shop website!!  Go check out all the other gorgeous beauties she has up for sale.  I have 19 different colors by Christy and they are of amazing quality and uniqueness!

KBShimmer Birthday Celebration, The Finale!

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Christy Rose, owner and creator of KBShimmer Bath and Body. The provided polish is graciously accepted and kept, and does not affect my opinions regarding the product.  This blog review post is my honest opinion for the owner's and any consumers' benefit.  Thank you, Christy, for the opportunity to review these awesome polishes!

The gorgeous colors I will share today to continue my celebration of KBShimmer's 5th Birthday are so bright you might wanna grab yo' shades!  I wasn't sure what to think of these two when I opened my review package from Christy Rose, creator of KBShimmer, but when I put them on I was super excited to show them off!

This first polish, Blinded by the Bright, is a super neon yellow crelly with a rainbow of different size and shape glitters!  I got sooooo many compliments on this one, you guys.  The more I stared at it the more I fell for it!  This is three thin coats to grab lots of glitter for layering. It also worked well with two but I couldn't help myself!  What do you think?

The yellow base seemed like it might overwhelm the glitter colors but it really wasn't too bad!  We all know Christy makes amazing polish so I dunno why I doubted.  LOL.  You will notice some of the glitters obviously have yellow polish over them, but it really adds to the depth and doesn't take away from the combo, in my opinion.

Next up is The Dancing Green!  I was really hoping to be blown away by this one because my favorite colors are purple and green.  While it isn't my favorite color by KBShimmer I have absolutely zero complaints about the formula, coverage, or amount of glitter in this crelly.  The green base is thinner than the yellow base and makes the glitters pop from every coat!  Christy says The Dancing Green "features fuchsia square glitters, chartreuse dots,  sapphire hex glitters and fuchsia dots.  A subtle micro shimmer completes this emerald colored polish."  Check it out!  This is three thin coats. 

These two colors are currently still available at www.kbshimmer.com.

A Visit to the KBShimmer Circus!

Continuing with my Feature KBShimmer Month today!  I have an hour for lunch at my new job and of course, once again, I am sitting alllll alone!!!  I am not letting it get me down though because it's the ONLY time I am ever alone!  And it gives me time to blog!  ;)

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Christy Rose, owner and creator of KBShimmer Bath and Body. The provided polish is graciously accepted and kept, and does not affect my opinions regarding the product.  This blog review post is my honest opinion for the owner's and any consumers' benefit.  Thank you, Christy, for the opportunity to review these awesome polishes!

Today I have two lovely older colors from a collection by Christy that was inspired by the circus. These two colors are currently still available at www.kbshimmer.com but are going fast!

First up is a color that was on my good ol' wish list for a long time!  Elle is a sheer, pale grey crelly packed with glitter!  I was a little sad about how sheer it was, but when I put one coat over Revlon Stormy Night it turned out to be a perfect amount of glitter!  You could make this one fairly opaque with 2-3 coats alone, however, it gets a little clumpy that way due to the fantastic plethora of glitters.  There are several pink, white, and grey sparklies in here of different shapes and it's a crowd pleaser for sure!  Check out one medium coat of Elle below.  The application was as impressive as all KBShimmer colors and with one or two coats it is a pretty smooth finish. 

Speaking of fantastic glitter, the next color I want to show you is a glitter topper.  It's a clear base with about 100 different types of glitter in each varied batch!  Does that sound like the type of polish everyone should have in their collection or what?!  Funny thing: I never really wanted this one before because the name honestly just bugged me a little.  Now that I have it I am beyond glad! I wore it until it was growing out, then I matte top coated it for fun and wore that until it started to peel!  So. Gorgeous.  This phenomenal glitter topper is called Clown Puke, and it is loads more fun than the name implies!  Perfect application, obviously, this is one medium coat and a few extra dabs because I couldn't help myself over Sally Hansen Black Out. 

Look!  A big, teal holo round glitter!  Look!  A white, matte square!  Look!  A black, matte square!  LOL

Fun stuff!  I even got a star on this hand!  My husband also spotted a red heart in the bottle and I myself saw several sizes of black round glitters, fuchsia round holos, and a purple flower!  How exciting is that?!

I am sure just Clown Puke alone has overwhelmed you, so I am gonna put the store link here for you once more and leave you to your shopping!!! ;)

KBShimmer Fall 2013 Colors Part Two

Yay! Time for part two!

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Christy Rose, owner and creator of KBShimmer Bath and Body. The provided polish is graciously accepted and kept, and does not affect my opinions regarding the product.  This blog review post is my honest opinion for the owner's and any consumers' benefit.  Thank you, Christy, for the opportunity to review these awesome polishes!

Continuing from my previous post, which you can see HERE, I am gonna show you the other two colors in the new KBShimmer Fall 2013 Collection that were sent to me for review!

This perfectly fall color is called Turbulence and when I put it on all I did was stare at my nails! I sincerely think I will use this bottle up and that doesn't happen often! This gorgeous gray color dries to a matte finish and features flecks of glitter. I shook well, used two thin coats and appreciated the fact that it didn't take very long to dry! I adore matte finish polish! In the last pic below you can see what Turbulence looks like with a top coat. 

And last, but certainly not least, is You Autumn Know! If you have read my blog before or know me at all you know I have a serious addiction to white base polish with glitter! I was so happy to see this color when I opened the package from Christy!  This is two coats of You Autumn Know, which, as you can see, has a variety of glitters including two sizes of hex glitter in orange, yellow, and fuchsia, small circles in orange, yellow, and purple, and to accent those are short bar glitters in orange and fuchsia!

So far that's a duochrome, a jelly, a matte, and a crelly!  And that's not even all of the colors in the collection! I sincerely wish I had the others to swatch for you because they are also just stunning! Keep your eyes peeled for swatches of those from other lucky duck bloggers. 

I hear that this collection will be released on September 1 on www.kbshimmer.com!

KBShimmer Fall 2013 Colors Part One

Oh boy do I have some amazing colors to show you today!  Earlier this month I Christy Rose, the genius mind behind KBShimmer contacted me regarding the fifth birthday of KBShimmer! YAAAAY, KBShimmer, Happy Birthday!!!!! In celebration I am going to show you several colors from new and old collections by KBShimmer throughout August!

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Christy Rose, owner and creator of KBShimmer Bath and Body. The provided polish is graciously accepted and kept, and does not affect my opinions regarding the product.  This blog review post is my honest opinion for the owner's and any consumers' benefit.  Thank you, Christy, for the opportunity to review these awesome polishes!

I must warn you - this post is gonna be nice and picture heavy! Therefore, I am going to split it into two posts so I don't overwhelm you! Ack! I can't even decide which color to show first because they are all so amazing.....

This is Teal Another Tail! This soft duochrome color is sure to impress. Christy created this color based off what she believes a mermaid tail would look like, and for me I think she was spot on! My favorite thing about this teal-to-purple sparkling beauty is that it looks to me like the texture of a mermaid tail. This is two coats and it was perfect coverage. I didn't have any trouble whatsoever with the application. It dries to an almost smooth finish and a topcoat does not diminish the scaly texture look! Isn't it AMAZING?! I don't usually buy duochromes but this color had me in awe - I even put it on my toes!

Next up is Vicious Circles! This lovely red jelly is packed full of silver holographic round, hex, and micro slice glitter! There are so many sizes and so much that it is guaranteed you will have a brush full every time. For so much glitter the application was surprising easy and smooth. This is two coats. I don't think I did this one justice in layering it, but I really want to try it out over red undies and see if I like it more. 

I am so impressed with this collection because it has such a variety of colors and finishes while still managing to be unique and fall themed all at once! Autumn is for sure my favorite season and I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to be one of the first to show you a new collection from my favorite Indie brand! Now go look at Part Two and see more amazingness! ;)

I hear that this collection will be released on September 1 on www.kbshimmer.com!

KBShimmer's Sugar Plum Faerie

Oh my gosh! Has it been a week already since I posted?? I am sooo sorry. C's 6th birthday party is Sunday so I have been cleaning the house like a mad woman on top of my other motherly/housewifey duties. How has your week been?!

You may have seen my FB pic or Tweet or IG pic of KBShimmer's Sugar Plum Faerie! It's soooo lovely! What's even more exciting is that a KBShimmer admin retweeted my post, which has never happened to me before!

This beauty is a glitter bomb of the I Love It sort. You may know I don't always enjoy glitter bomb polishes, but I have never seen a KBShimmer I didn't want to put on my nails (and my shelf!!!)!

This is my usual Orly base coat, then a very thin layer of China Glaze's Creative Fantasy (just to make sure I can't see my nail line later), and two regular coats of Sugar Plum Faerie with a top coat of HK Girl. :)

Can you say "gorgeous!"? How about "Ooooh, sparkly!" I didn't have to do a single dab or fish for any larger glitter to even out my mani. I adore KBShimmer's polishes & I can never get enough!!!!!
