Zoya Whispers Collection

Press Sample
Hi everyone! Today I have Zoya's Whispers collection to show you.  This is a collection of 6 cremes that are intended to be kind of an interlude between winter and spring.  These colors are subdued and four out of six can be worn in a conservative work environment.

The formula on these was pretty nice and pretty easy to work with.  The first coat did tend to be streaky, but the second evened everything out.  All photos show 2 coats with top coat.

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!

Let's get on to the pictures!

Pahlish January Duo - Test Shaft 09

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Today I'm showing you Pahlish's January Duo collectively called Test Shaft 09!  This portal themed duo has a creme polish as well as a gorgeous topper that I've come to know Pahlish for.

Pahlish Zulu Bunsen is a squishy neon coral creme that leans heavily orange/red and changes it's leanings depending on the lighting and skin tone.  The formula on this is a little thick, but it still applies easily.

This is 2 coats.

Pahlish Moon Rock Dust.  This is a topper with a clear base and lots of holo, silver and gold flakes as well as iridescent glitter and violet shimmer.  Formula is perfect.

This is 1 coat over Zulu Bunsen.
