KBShimmer It's Razz-ical

I can't sleep!  And I haven't posted in forever!  Here is my first post with my new blog name!  I recently made an order from KBShimmer.  I have had a KBShimmer gift card for $50 since Christmas!  I can't believe it has taken me so long to order!  I use way too many exclamation marks!!!

Anyways I noticed a lot of KBShimmers that I wanted are now discontinued and no longer available for purchase on their site and it made me go into panic mode and I bought a bunch of older polishes that I had been eyeing for a while.  And I know I had been eye It's Razz-ical for a long while and it looks so me.  This is a me polish for sure.  It is a purpley pink jelly polish with holographic glitters.  The color appears lighter in my picture in real life it is a tad deeper and more purpley (yes that is a description).

Isn't she gorgeous?  I absolutely love this polish.  It is going on my imaginary favorite list.  

Bliss Polish Lyla

I have a new polish to show you from Bliss Polish's Son's of Anarchy collection.  Okay so I do not know anything about Son's of Anarchy, but I do know that this collection is exciting as hell!  Now Lyla must be a sexy lady, because this polish is just so sexy.  It is a berry jelly polish with some shimmer and GOLD FLAKIES!!  Yummy, I love me some flakies.  I used three coats for the pics below!

So I took many photos of Lyla because she is camera shy.  She didn't want everyone to see her sexy beauty without being a tease.  Keep in mind I'm talking about the polish.  :)  So to try to get the flakies to show in their glory I tried different lighting, angles and mattified it!  Hope you enjoyed! 

 

 

The Son's of Anarchy Collection will be available for purchase tomorrow!  Please follow Bliss Polish on Instagram for swatches of the complete collection!  They are ahhhmazing!  Shop link!

Pipe Dream Polish: The Night's Magic

More Pipe Dream Polish!  Woo hoo!  This one is another beauty and it's called The Night's Magic Glitter. It  is one glitter packed polish.  This is a sheer black jellie based polish with tons and tons of micro holographic flecks and blue and purple sparkly glitters!

I used 3 thickish coats.  The formula was thick, so the only way I could get even coats was to glob it on there but it was easy to manage!

I mattified this because I just love to matte all the glitters.  Sometimes it is a huge hit for me.  This time I preferred this manicure with a glossy top coat.  The holo bits seemed to have dulled with the matte top coat. Still beautiful, but glossy is the way to go with this polish!

You can purchase her polishes on Etsy.  And follow Pipe Dream Polish on Facebook and Instagram!  If you like jellie based glitter bombs you will want to buy all her polishes immediately!

Pipe Dream Polish: Time in a Tapestry

Good Evening!  It's actually evening and not 2am!  Woo hoo!  Today I have an awesome indie brand I wanted to share.  Pipe Dream Polish!  I have been drooling over her polishes for some time.  I have no idea what took me so long to make a purchase because I literally want everything she makes.

Time in a Tapestry is described as a "gold, copper, and brown glitter with gold flakies in a deep teal green base."  Perfect polish for Fall!

KBShimmer: Hex Appeal

I have another one of my Christmas presents to show!  It is from KBShimmer and it's called Hex Appeal.  Here is a description from their website, "A navy jelly base with magenta holographic, silver, and blue hex glitter. Tiny micro bar glitter adds a bit of pop."

Here I used 4 coats.  It seems like a a lot, well, actually it is a lot, but I liked the look with 4 coats.  After 3 I could still see some slight bald spots in the direct light.  Next time I might use a base color because 4 coats seems like a lot now, Revlon's Royal might be a good choice.  This polish was pretty easy to apply.  It looks really patchy and uneven with the first couple of coats, but it looked really good after 3 or 4.  Glitters applied really easily because this polish is so dense with glitters.  I just love a jelly based glitter bomb!

*Update:  I used a matte top coat on Hex Appeal and I loves it!

New Year's Nails! KBShimmer Band Geek

I always have big plans for my nails, and never actually execute my plans.  Boo.  And I actually planned on trying out some nail art!  But with 3 kids and one being a terrible sleeper, that didn't happen.  I wanted to at least use one of the pretties that my brother got me for Christmas!  He got me 10 KBShimmer polishes!  That was such a surprise!  Even though I gave him a list of the polishes I wanted, I didn't expect him to get almost all of them.  I feel so special!=.

KBShimmer Polish presents!

I absolutely love them all.  But for New Years I chose Band Geek!  It screamed to me New Year's Eve Party!  Even though I'll just be hanging with 6 kids all under the age of 10 tonight.  :D  Good times!  It is a black jelly with tons of silver, gold and copper glitters of all shapes and sizes!

KBShimmer Band Geek.  So pretty!

I love this polish!  I'm so excited to try them all.
