KB Shimmer - I Feel Gourd-geous

*Press Sample

This week I will be sharing some polishes from the KBShimmer Fall/Halloween 2015 Collection.

I Feel Gourd-geous: A coppery champagne color, this fine holographic polish shines in the light. Two-three coats offers a beautifully neutral full coverage polish.

For these pictures I used two coats of I Feel Gourd-geous and a quick dry top coat. The application was nice and smooth with this. It's classified as a holo but it sort of reminds me more of a gold glitter polish, perhaps because of the scattered as opposed to linear holo effect. Either way, this is one of my top picks from the collection for sure and I would highly recommend it to anyone. 

I Feel Gourd-geous is currently available at KBShimmer.com for $8.75 USD.

KBShimmer - Such A Vlad-Ass

*Press Sample

This week I will be sharing some polishes from the KBShimmer Fall/Halloween 2015 Collection.

Such A Vlad-Ass: A deepened blood red cream, this polish has a slight blue undertone. With two coat coverage this deep red is sure to be a fall classic. 

For these pictures I used two coats of Such A Vlad-Ass along with a quick dry topcoat. I probably could have gotten away with one coat but there was a slight VNL so I decided to use two. The formula was nice and wasn't streaky at all.

Such A Vlad-Ass is currently available at KBShimmer.com for $7.50 USD.

KBShimmer - Soul Deep

*Press Sample

This week I will be sharing some polishes from the KBShimmer Fall/Halloween 2015 Collection.

Soul Deep: A blackened blurple cream, this deep midnight blue has purple undertones for a dark and dramatic 1-2 coat coverage cream. 

This polish is a true one coater, which I LOVE. I used one coat plus a quick dry topcoat for these pictures. This shade looks black in the photos but has a nice purple hint to it in real life. I love deep dark colors for fall and winter so this will probably be a shade that is added into my regular rotation. 

Soul Deep is currently available on KBShimmer.com for $7.50 USD.

KBShimmer - Open Toad Shoes

*Press Sample

This week I will be sharing some polishes from the KBShimmer Fall/Halloween 2015 Collection.

Open Toad Shoes: A soft olive green crelly, this polish offers pops of navy, burgundy, and chartreuse glitters with hints of holographic shimmer. Based on the Pantone Fall 2015 color Dried Herbs, this shade offers coverage in 2-3 coats.

For these pictures I used three thin coats of polish topped with a quick dry top coat. This one had such a unique color and I thought for sure that it would be my favorite of the bunch; however, I don't think that this particular shade worked with my skin tone as well as I had hoped. Be sure to check out other swatches of this one as you can see how gorgeous it looks on others. 

Open Toad Shoes is currently available a KBShimmer.com for $8.75 USD.

KBShimmer - I've Seen Sweater Days

*Press Sample

This week I will be sharing some polishes from the KBShimmer Fall/Halloween 2015 Collection.

I've Seen Sweater Days: A muted teal crelly, pops of cobalt blue glitter, lime green holo glitters and silver glitters accent this polish. 3 coats are recommended for full coverage. 

Here I used three coats of color and topped it off with a quick dry topcoat. I LOVED the formula on this; it was thin which made it perfect to add three coats without getting too thick. I am usually fairly heavy handed when it comes to crelly polishes, and this formula made my application a breeze. And who doesn't love a good teal polish. 

I've Seen Sweater Days is currently available at KBShimmer.com for $8.75 USD.

KBShimmer - Be Scareful

*Press Sample

This week I will be sharing some polishes from the KBShimmer Fall/Halloween 2015 Collection.

Be Scareful: Dots, shreds and circles in orange and black swim among a near white crelly base. After dark this polish glows ghoulish green. 

For these pictures I used three thin coats of Be Scareful topped with a quick dry topcoat. The formula on this polish was really nice, for a crelly I was able to get a nice amount of glitter onto each nail without fishing and the polish wasn't too thick. 

Be Scareful also glows in the dark, which is perfect for Halloween, but unfortunately I was unable to grab any glowing pictures. 

This polish is currently available at KBShimmer.com for $8.75 USD.
