Do you celebrate Easter? We went to see family since this is probably one of the last trips I'll get to make before my son is born. A perfect polish to wear for this spring holiday is KBShimmer Cool Hand Cuke, a pale minty green polish with pastel glitters in circle, triangle, stars and hexes ranging from extra small to large.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 3 coats of polish and finished with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. I inverted the bottle 30 minutes before application in order to help the glitters float to the top.
Here in the light box, you can see the different glitters really applied well. I was able to get a little bit of everything without any issues.
Same with the sun. I did feel like I got a bit TOO many glitters on my index and middle fingers but nothing was sticking up or poking up so we're good.
Meanwhile in the shade? Well - I'm really not loving it with this photo. I don't know if it's the color or the glitter or what but either way this just doesn't do it for me when I see it in the shade.
Finally I have a photo in indirect light. I really do like how unique this polish is but I'm not sure that I'll pull for it more than just spring time. That being said, I'm glad I have it because the different glitters is awesome.

I'm quite close to being a crazy cat lady (we have 6 cats - ages 14 years to 4 years old) so when I heard that KBShimmer had a color called Meow or Never, I knew it was the one for me. This polish from the 2015 Spring collection is based on the Pantone spring color Glacier Gray and has purple, gray, periwinkle and sky blue glitter ranging in size from small to large. This is also a crelly and 3 thin coats is recommended.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 3 coats of polish and finished with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 30 minutes prior to application, I turned my bottle upside down in order to help get more glitter to the top of the bottle.
No sun again, so here's a photo in my light box. You can see that the glitters really show up well - especially the periwinkle blue glitter which I love.
Meanwhile in the shade, you can really see how crelly this is - glitters are suspended in the grey base color.
Finally in indirect light, the polish just looks lovely. I really didn't have any issues with glitter sticking up or curling up, which is always a plus.

I have another KBShimmer crelly from the 2015 Spring Collection today - this is To Peach His Own and is a pale peach crelly with green, gold, magenta and purple glitters ranging in small to large.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. I honestly should have used 3 coats but because this base coat is so close to my skin color, I didn't realize the opaqueness until I was done polishing. I also inverted this polish 30 minutes before application to help the glitters float to the top.
This photo was taken in my light box. You can see how the peachy base is really close to my skin tone - so I'm not totally how I feel about that. Another KBShimmer lover mentioned that it reminded her of fruity pebbles in the polish. I can see that!
Meanwhile in the sun, you can start to see a little bit of the VNL (visible nail line) especially on my pinkie.
Finally in indirect light, you have a hard time telling my skin from the polish. I can't say that I love this polish but it's most definitely unique to my collection.
