KBShimmer Dust In The Bottle

Nothing To Disclose

I'm a sucker for holographic glitter top coat like KBShimmer Dust In The Bottle from the Summer 2015 collection. Mine has seen a little evaporation over the years but it's still pretty and applies easily.

Today I have KBShimmer What Are You Wading For? a denim blue holographic polish from Summer 2015. This color is unique for sure, but how did it wear after 8 years of sitting in my home?

KBShimmer Kerrie

Back in 2019, KBShimmer announced her Pretty Revenge Duo, and I immediately bought it. I reviewed Jordana back in 2020 but hadn't worn the counterpart, Kerrie, until now. This is a vibrant red with holographic glitter that does try down matte but I'm all about the top coat.

I really do miss the days of PolishCon. I got to visit some new places and really be in the presence of other polish lovers. Today I have KBShimmer We Make Your Dreams Come Blue from the 2017 NYC PolishCon. This is a unique polish for me with an icy blue base that shifts to light violet, shimmer, and holographic microflakes.

KBShimmer Big Apple Of My Eye

One of the hard parts about going through my older indie polishes is that there are some amazing ones that are no longer available for sale like today's KBShimmer Big Apple Of My Eye. This was a 2017 Road to PolishCon that is a jelly candy apple red with holographic and red glitter.

KBShimmer That's Nude To Me

Nothing To Disclose
When I originally bought That's Nude To Me by KBShimmer, I was in a real neutral phase. This polish came out in Summer 2016 but the collection itself was a huge mash of foils, cremes, shimmers and crellies. I just felt this fit me best at the time.

KBShimmer Sun & Games

KBShimmer Cubicle Pusher

KBShimmer Hashtag You're It!

Nothing To Disclose
I can't believe it's already April! This year is definitely going by fast but I feel like I say that every year. I'm trying to balance my blog out with indies and mainstream again especially as I go through and purge my polishes so today I have KBShimmer Hashtag You're It! from the Summer 2017 Summer Vacation Collection. This is a grape purple polish with holo glow flakes (silver?) that has a duochrome that looks sometimes more red, sometimes more blue. Mind blown yet?

KBShimmer Breaking Blues

Nothing To Disclose
The other day, my awesome son (who turns 4 in May) decided to grab a bottle of nail polish off my desk and paint all over himself, my keyboard, my desk and a bit on the floor. It prompted me to clear off my desk and I realized I have over 50 just cluttering up here so I'm on a mission to get all the polish off my desk. Today I grabbed KBShimmer Breaking Blues which was in a mystery pack that I purchased from their website. This is a periwinkle blue creme.

Woo it's time! While my oldest is a tad old for Trick or Treating and my youngest is too young, it still means I'm going to eat all the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups I can find. Let's share the final shade of the Paint It Black collection with Pret-A-Potion. This is a black microglitter in a clear base, best worn as a topper.

KBShimmer High-rise To The Occasion

The KBShimmer Blogger Collections have definitely been fun to watch over the years, and this past Fall 2017, one especially caught my eye! Created with Michelle from Ehmkay Nails, High-rise To The Occasion starts with light grey crelly base has rainbow flakies and violet shimmer. The shimmer makes the polish almost looks lilac in low light which makes me super happy.

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know that BeautyJudy is one of my best friends and I met her through blogging. So when she told me that she was going to be having a collaboration with KBShimmer, I was jumping for joy.

The Polish Convention NYC Spring 2017

Nothing To Disclose
Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so quiet on my end. I had been focusing more of my attention to social media, especially Instagram because last month, I went to NYC for PolishCon! While there, I got to watch over 34 brands do their hustle to sell beautiful multichrome, holo, creme, and glittery polishes to over 650 people who walked through the doors of the Grand Prospect Hall.

KBShimmer x Color4Nails Polishes

So I'm still getting my a/c fixed ... turns out I had a ton of wood rot and it's a miracle that the unit didn't fall through the cabinet and onto the floor. Because I'm literally stuck at home, I figured today was a great day to review the KBShimmer x Color4Nails exclusive polishes that I received from Color4Nails. These two beauties are What the Shell, a tan polish with micro pink glitter and micro rainbow glitter (which gives is a scattered holo look), and Berried In The Sand, a holographic fuchsia with blue shimmer.

First up is What the Shell. 

So this color was so my jam in the bottle. I love the tan base, the pink shimmer, the scattered rainbow glitter. The rainbow glitter is what's throwing the orange and yellows you see in the bottle. I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. I wasn't sure if 2 coats was enough and almost added a third, but KBShimmers are normally always opaque in two.

So on the nail was a different story. Even my husband, who's normally very disinterested in polish, said said "Eh, I don't like that." It just seemed to go too much into my skin tone and the rainbow glitter is pretty hidden on the nail. I mostly just saw pink shimmer. I think it's a pretty polish and VERY unique, but may look better on a different skin tone.

Next up is Berried In The Sand.

This is a holographic fuchsia polish with blue shimmer. I originally wore this on my nails before I nubbinized them, but didn't take an official photos. Then I made the big chop and decided to take photos. I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, ONE COAT of polish and finished with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. 

I was shocked that it was one coat. Absolutely shocked. So in love. I'm using this for my pedicure as well. This photo was taken outside in the sun so you can see the holographic vs the blue shimmer but in the shade the blue shimmer is apparent. I love it all. Definitely my pick to be worn again and again.

These two polishes are exclusive to Color4Nails and can be purchased for $10 each.

KBShimmer Pools Paradise

Press Sample
Do you like crellies? I have a love/hate with them but today I'm pretty happy. From the Spring 2016 KBShimmer collection this is Pools Paradise, a green leaning aqua with pops of neon pink, periwinkle and aqua glitters.

I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 3 thin coats of polish and finished with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. I inverted my bottle for 30 minutes prior to polishing to help the glitters come closer to the brush. It's how I use all my crellies from KBShimmer.

So I have been a fan of this whole teal/green base color for awhile now and the glitters really help to make the polish more interesting. The neon pink gets a little lost but it's still there and still pretty.
