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

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

KB Shimmer... DIVA... POLISH AND PACKAGING Swatch / Review AND Summer 2013 Collection Release Info

KB Shimmer has announced the Release of their Summer 2013 Collection on June 1st. Check out the gorgeous polishes in this collection on their Official Press Release. I love them all! I know I will be ordering at least 5 of them!! KB Shimmer has amazing nail polishes. Of all the Indy Polishes I own, I own the most from KB Shimmer. I just placed another order for a few more that I have been wanting and you can bet I will be purchasing several polishes from this new collection! :)

So in all my excitement and anticipation of this new collection I decided to do a mani in one of my favorites from KB Shimmer...DIVA!

THE POLISH

It is a purple based, heavily glitter packed polish. They describe it as a "grape-like purple, we added several sizes of holographic silver glitter along with aqua and pink  holographic glitters. Over 10 different colors and glitters ensure that this pretty purple polish packs a punch." Polish is “3-Free” and does not contain Toluene, Formaldehyde or Dibutyl Phthalate.

Application was on the thick side, but is normal for a glitter packed polish and is certainly manageable. There was no fishing for glitters. They came out nicely and evenly on their own. I applied 3 coats. May have been able to get away with 2, but I wanted the intense color and all the sparkle this polish had to offer. 

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:

• OPI Nail Envy...as a treatment coat, 1 coat
• Milani Smoothe Base Coat....1 coat
  
• KB Shimmer in Diva...3 coats
• Out The Door...as a top coat, 2 coats

Watercolors... Midsummers Night... KB Shimmer... Swatch / Review

I was feeling like something bright, glittery and full of color. I had narrowed it down to KB Shimmer Watercolor and KB Shimmer Midsummer's Night. I couldn't decide on which one of these to go with, so as I stared at the bottles some more...looking for an answer of which one to try first... it hit me that they actually work quit well together. So there it was...an answer...I was going to use them both.

KB Shimmer Midsummer's Night is a red based, purple neon, but not a bright neon with turquoise glitter, aqua and pink holographic glitters, and white glitters in a variety of shapes, including stars, shreds, hexes. This is an amazingly beautiful polish and is Polish is “3-Free” and does not contain Toluene, Formaldehyde or Dibutyl Phthalate.

KB Shimmer Watercolor is a blue based neon, but not a bright neon with purple glitters in two sizes, a bright blue glitter, royal blue large hex, pink holographic hex and magenta hex glitters.  It also has micro pink and larger sliver holographic glitters. Also is “3-Free” and does not contain Toluene, Formaldehyde or Dibutyl Phthalate.

I absolutely love the aesthetics of both these colors, but I must make one negative comment on the formula of the Midsummer's Night...it is a complete nightmare! It was so thick and globby... I had to fight with this polish to go on my nails! I didn't have trouble getting the glitter out of the bottle, I had trouble laying down the polish. It was crazy!! I don't own any thinner, but I sure wish I did because I would have certainly used it on this polish. I don't know if that would have helped, but I would have tried anything to improve the formula. The formula of the Watercolors was perfect...no problems with that color at all.

I love, love, love these polishes and I will certainly keep them and use them again. But I will make a purchase of some nail polish thinner before reaching for the Midsummer's Night again.

See more Indie Polish I have used. I love Indie Polishes! :)  

For this manicure I applied the following:

• Milani Base Coat
• KB Shimmer in Midsummer's Night (purple)...2 coats
• KB Shimmer in Watercolors (blue)...2 coats
• Seche Vite...1 coat
