KBShimmer Funky Cold Patina

Press Sample 

The last polish that I was given to review from the 2015 Spring collection by KBShimmer was Funky Cold Patina. This is another crelly with a turquoise base and glitter in metallic copper, blue and purple ranging from small to large sized.

I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. I inverted my bottle 30 minutes before application to help the glitters float around. Application was easy, no pooling or dragging.


In my light box, you can see the nice mix of glitters suspended in the polish. This is a very good representation of a crelly - it's not a creme, it's not a jelly, it has glitter... It's all here! 


Same goes in the sun. Despite how it may look, I really didn't have any issues with glitter sticking up or curling. That can be an issue with curved nails and large glitter, but I didn't have any issues.


In the shade, you can really see the purple glitter popping out where the blue stays more muted.


Finally in indirect light, you can see a build up of glitter, especially in my pinkie finger but again, I didn't have any issues. Also, in my bottle, you can see a bit of white build up near the bottom. This is normal and does not affect application. 

Overall, this is probably my least favorite shade in terms of color. I've never been the largest fan of turquoise polishes to begin with - I really have to be in the mood to want to wear them. That being said, it is a unique and pretty polish and I really didn't have any issues with application so if funky is your color, the Funky Cold Patina is your polish!

  3. I think it's such a cool and unique color! I'm not a fan of turquoise green per se (I prefer blue leaning shades), but the name makes me smile and I think it's a fun glitter combo.
