PRESS SAMPLE
Wanderlust, a strong desire to travel. Traveling can introduce you to new art, crazy good food, and interesting new experiences that inspire. KBShimmer owner, Christy, is full of wanderlust and after a west coast trip, came back inspired by the laid-back vibe of Ventura, California. There, Christy spent a week crafting, learning, and enjoying new adventures. This seaside location was full of lush nature, calming beaches, and good times with friends, making this beach retreat the perfect place to envision shades of blue, green, pink and purple. So let the first Wanderlust collection by KBShimmer take you to the West coast shore, nail polish style. This collection will expand as Christy travels and base future polishes on different locations she visits. Read on for more info!
