KB Shimmer Blinded By The Bright... Summer 2013 Collection... POLISH AND PACKAGING Swatch / Review

KB Shimmer Summer 2013 Collection... Blinded By The Bright!


THE POLISH
Blinded By The Bright... a neon yellow, crelly polish with a rainbows worth of hex shaped glitter. Polish is “3-Free” and does not contain Toluene, Formaldehyde or Dibutyl Phthalate. I did have a bit of a hard time getting the glitters out. I applied 4 coats and it had a quick dry time.


THE PACKAGING
The round bottle comes with a clear label making it easy to see the glittery goodness of this polish with out the obstruction of a big, bulky, white label. The handle is of the shortest and smallest diameter in a standard size bottle that I own. Holding on to the brush is a bit more of a challenge. The brush is a average size brush, not too big and not too small. Contains 15ml of polish.


THE MANICURE
For this manicure I applied the following:
  • Milani Smoothe Base Coat....1 coat
  • KB Shimmer in Blinded By The Bright...4 coats
  • Seche Vite Top Coat...1 coat

Lime Crime PEACHES ♥ CREAM... POLISH AND PACKAGING Swatch / Review

I am feeling like it is Christmas! Why?! Because I just received the package I ordered from Lime Crime containing my long time lemming Peaches ♥ Cream along with the six other colors available on their website. This color is as amazing as I anticipated and them some! I Looooove this color!


THE POLISH
PEACHES ♥ CREAM is a neon peach creme color. The formula is thick making application a bit of a challenge, as is the case with most neons. It does have a quick dry time. It may be opaque in 2 coats, but I needed 3 coats to even it all out. The outcome is worth any bit of challenge from the formula.



THE PACKAGING
The bottle is a pretty frosted, rectangular shape with the branding printed directly on the bottle. It has a nice full brush, not too big and not too small. The brush handle is small similar to the KB Shimmer and and a little smaller than the Essie handles. Bottle contains 9ml, which is a bit smaller then the average.


THE MANICURE
For this manicure I used the following:
  • Milani Smoothe Base Coat....1 coat
  • Lime Crime Peaches ♥ Cream...3 coats
  • Out The Door Top Coat...1 coat

The Rest Of The Story
This is the first polish of this brand I have used. But I did purchase the rest of the and will certainly be to follow shortly!

If you are interested in buying these polishes they have a website... Lime Crime ...you won't regret it for a second! I didn't and I know I will be using this one a lot this summer. I think it would look amazing on a pedi. I will be trying that soon. :)
  

Oh boy... which to try next!? I love them all! Any Requests?

KB Shimmer The Dancing Green... Summer 2013 Collection... POLISH AND PACKAGING Swatch / Review

KB Shimmer Summer 2013 Collection... The Dancing Green!


THE POLISH
The Dancing Green... A bright green crelly polish with a blue undertone.  Has fuchsia square glitters, chartreuse dots, sapphire hex glitters and fuchsia dots with a subtle micro shimmer. Polish is “3-Free” and does not contain Toluene, Formaldehyde or Dibutyl Phthalate. 

This polish is described by KB Shimmer as a crelly, but seems to be more on the jelly side. Application was no problem and glitter applied evenly. Dry time was quick. I applied 3 thin coats for full coverage.


THE PACKAGING
The round bottle comes with a clear label making it easy to see the glittery goodness of this polish with out the obstruction of a big, bulky, white label. The handle is of the shortest and smallest diameter in a standard size bottle that I own. Holding on to the brush is a bit more of a challenge.

KB Shimmer It’s Razz-ical... Summer 2013 Collection... POLISH AND PACKAGING Swatch / Review

They are here! I am so excited I got my KB Shimmer package yesterday in the mail... super fast order processing and shipping as usual! Love these guys... great nail polish and great customer service

I bought 4 of the colors in this collection, but I plan on buying 3 more plus a couple that I have been wanting to try still. I also purchased their Basic Training Base Coat and Clearly On Top Quick Dry Top Coat to try. I also got one of their soaps... I could not resist this time. :)

Today I am going to show you my favorite of the Summer 2013 collection...  
KB Shimmer IT'S RAZZ-ICAL!


THE POLISH
It’s Razz-ical... A red-violet shade leaning towards the purple side of raspberry.  Loaded with holographic hex glitters in magenta, silver and pink and is a super pigmented crelly.  Polish is “3-Free” and does not contain Toluene, Formaldehyde or Dibutyl Phthalate.

It is an awesome color with amazing sparkle from the glitter. Application was no problem, but the formula was on the thicker side.  Dry time was quick. Could have some balding if your not careful. I applied 3 thin coats for full coverage and maximum sparkle. The only polish I have close to this is Elixir Lacquers With A K, but the glitter composition is quite different.


THE PACKAGING
The round bottle comes with a clear label making it easy to see the glittery goodness of this polish with out the obstruction of a big, bulky, white label. The handle is of the shortest and smallest diameter in a standard size bottle that I own. Holding on to the brush is a bit more of a challenge. The brush is a average size brush, not too big and not too small. Contains 15ml of polish.


THE MANICURE
For this manicure I applied the following:

  • KB Shimmer Base Coat....1 coat
  • KB Shimmer in Razz-ical...3 coats
  • KB Shimmer Clearly On Top...1 coat

THE REST OF THE STORY

If you are interested in buying these polishes, for USA residents you can order from their website... KB Shimmer. For those outside the USA you can order from Harlow & Co. They have tons of amazing polish colors, as well as bath and body products. Can't wait to try my soap from them!

Essie The More The Merrier...Naughty Nautical Summer 2013 Collection... POLISH AND PACKAGING Swatch / Review


Essie The More The Merrier is the second polish I picked up from their Naughty Nautical Collection Summer 2013. I did have Naughty Nautical  and did post about that one.

THE POLISH
Essie The More The Merrier is a juicy lime green, creme polish. I do like this color. I do not have much like it in my stash. It is very, very close to Sally Hansen's Green with Envy.  Application was on the thick side just like Naughty Nautical. Also like Naughty Nautical, this formula was a let down for me. It was hard to work with. I did apply 3 *thin* coats. There was plenty of balding in the first two coats, but covered up with the third coat.


THE PACKAGING 
The bottle is square with rounded corners comes with a labeling on the top of the handle. This makes it easy to see the color without any obstructions of a label on the body of the bottle. The handle is of the shortest and smallest diameter in a standard size bottle that I own. Holding on to the brush is a bit more of a challenge. The brush is a smaller size, narrow brush. Contains 15ml of polish. 
THE MANICURE
For this manicure I applied the following:

  • OPI Nail Envy...as a treatment coat, 2 coats (applied previous day)
  • Milani Smoothe Base Coat....1 coat
  • Essie The More The Merrier...3 coats
  • Out The Door...as a top coat, 1 coat
