Cupcake Polish San Antonio Shuffle

Texas is huge but when I heard the Indie Shop was going to be in San Antonio in October 2017, I was super stoked. That's only about a 2.5 hour drive north of me so I packed up the car and drove up. One of the exclusives from Cupcake Polish was called San Antonio Shuffle and it was a purple/blue polish with blue shimmer and subtle holo. I snatched it up.

Nothing To Disclose
Back in 2017 at PolishCon NYC, I really made an effort to buy polish from all the vendors especially ones that I didn't know. le Polish was selling Be (Polish) Confident, a dusty purple shimmer. Your eyes aren't broken, my label was double printed and missing the name of the brand.

Different dimension Stunning

Awhile back, I got this awesome care package from Different Dimension and included inside was Stunning, a purple based polish with red to green aurora shimmer. So the aurora shift is apparent in the bottle but did it show up on my nails?

Still going through the Purge and today I reached into my VIP Bag from PolishCon Minneapolis. I wasn't able to attend but I was able to snag a VIP bag after the fact on their website.

The KBShimmer Blogger Collections have definitely been fun to watch over the years, and this past Fall 2017, one especially caught my eye!

The shimmer makes the polish almost looks lilac in low light which makes me super happy.
