Hello loves! So today I have the second half of KBShimmers Winter 2016 collection to share with you. This collection consist of sixteen polishes in a wide variety of shades and finishes that are perfect for the upcoming holidays! Because there is so many in this collection I broke my reviews up into two posts so I don't overwhelm you with photos all at once. You can view the first eight [here]. And here are the other eight beauties!
**All Photos shown with KBShimmer's 'Clearly On Top' glossy top coat.**
KBShimmer-Take Me For Granite
Description:
Last winter, the first snow as sovering the asphalt, and all Christy could think of was how the parking lot looked like a big slab of granite with its shades of white, gray and specks of black. This soft, pale gray crelly is inspired by that granite look-a-like and accented by bits of black, sliver, and gray glitters.
Fomula & Applications:
I applied two coats to achieve full opacity and sealed it with a glossy top coat. Formula was great and no fishing was needed. It was pretty sheer on the first coat but builds up nicely by the second coat.
KBShimmer-A Walk In The Park-a
Description:
A Walk In The Park-a is described as a warm red toned orchid cream.
Fomula & Applications:
I applied two coats to achieve full opacity and sealed it with a glossy top coat. Formula was great and applied smoothly.
KBShimmer-Chai-huahua
Description:
Chai-huahua is described as a warm brick red cream inspired by the spices that make chai tea such a winter drink; cinnamon, cloves and anise.
Fomula & Applications:
I applied two coats to achieve full opacity and sealed it with a glossy top coat. Formula was great and applied smoothly.
KBShimmer-Soot and Ladders
Description:
Soot and Ladders is described as a soot black, Christmas light inspired jelly filled with micro flakes in a rainbow of colors, which pop in the light.
Fomula & Applications:
I applied three coats to achieve full opacity and sealed it with a glossy top coat. Formula was great and applied well.
KBShimmer-Have A Look'ski
Description:
Have A Look'ski is described as a deepened teal shade with linear holo pigment for the most bodacious shade ever. Please note, this color pulls more blue in photos, it is a teal blue, not a straight blue. Close in color to Pantone's Turkish Tile color.
Fomula & Applications:
I applied two coats to achieve full opacity and sealed it with a glossy top coat. Formula was great and applied well. The linear holo in this polish doesn't show as well in my photos as it does in person but I assure you it is there! lol
KBShimmer-Just Duvet It
Description:
Just Duvet It is described as a rich grape shade with a bit of sparkle, and a hint of pink shimmery flakes
Fomula & Applications:
I applied two coats to achieve full opacity and sealed it with a glossy top coat. Formula was great and applied well.
KBShimmer-Spruce Things up
Description:
Spruce Things up is described as a Christmas green jelly polish emulates sparkling snow on the evrgreen trees, with millions of micro holo and sliver glitters
Fomula & Applications:
I applied two coats to achieve full opacity and sealed it with a glossy top coat. Formula was great and applied well. Due to the micro glitters it does dry slighlty textured so a top coat is needed for a smooth finish.
KBShimmer-Haute Mess
Description:
Haute Mess is described as a glitter polish that is loaded with silver, copper, rose gold, and holographic glitters. Can be worn alone or as a topper.
Fomula & Applications:
I applied one coat over KBShimmers Eclipse on my middle and ring nails and I applied it alone on my index and pinky nails using the sponge method. Formula was on the heavier side due to the abundence of glitters but still managable. Due to the glitters it does dry very textured so one or two coats of top coat is needed for a smooth finish.
