KBShimmer Birthstone Collections Swatches and Review (partial)

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  This post has been a long time coming and I apologize for not getting it out sooner!

The Birthstone Collection is a set of polishes inspired by birthstones that represent each month.  They all have platinum flakes in a colored base with holo micro glitter.  It's such a pretty finish and I really enjoyed these.  The formula is easy to work with and they aren't impossible to remove like regular glitter (though you will find a few stray flecks here and there).

All photos are 2 coats!

This collection is available now from KBShimmer.com.  If you're international be sure to check their stockists so you can get your hands on these too!

KBShimmer Men Are From Mars-ala

Press Sample

So if you haven't heard, Pantone released the color of the year for 2015: Marsala.  Marsala is a brown with lots of red and pink undertones.  I have to say I'm not too sure how I feel about it.  I don't love it, but I don't really hate it either.  It's hard to tell if it's because I'm not too fond of wearing brown on my fingers, or I really am neutral about the actual color.  Time will tell I suppose.

Of course KBShimmer is right on it and has created a polish inspired by the color of the year called Men Are From Mars-ala.  Even though Marsala may not be my favorite color, you can't help but to love Men Are From Mars-ala because HOLO!  You can never go wrong with a holo.  As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever come across an ugly holo.

Application on this is pretty great.  A little on the thick side, but that doesn't detract from the application.  

This is 2 coats.

Natural Light:

Men Are From Marsala will be available on KBShimmer.com January 1st, 2015 for $8.75 USD.

KBShimmer Fall 2014 Selections

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend and your Monday hasn't been too bad.  Today I have a few selection from KBShimmer's Fall 2014 collection to show you, so lets get on to the review!

First up I have Hugs & Wishes.  This is a gorgeous lavender cream with a bit of gray and blue mixed in for good measure.  It applied nicely.  No complaints here.  This is 3 coats.  You can get away with 2 if you apply it just right.

Next is Kiss and Spell.  This is a Halloween themed glitter topper with green, black, orange, and purple glitters of different sizes and shapes (stars and hex).  For this swatch I layered it over Hugs & Wishes.  I think it would look great over white or a lime green as well.  This applied well.  I had no trouble getting glitter on the brush at all, which can sometimes be an issue with toppers.  This is one coat over Hugs & Wishes.

Last, but definitely not least is the stunning A Raisin to Live.  This is absolutely gorgeous.  The base is a very deep purple/raisin jelly and it's filled with tons of holographic glitters that range in size from micro to normal size.  Love, love, LOVE!  No application problems here.  This is 2 easy coats.

These can be purchased from KBShimmer.com and retail for $7.50-$8.75.  Be sure to check out the KBShimmer Facebook for updates and news on new collections and check back here for swatches of the new Winter 2014 collection!
