KBShimmer Purple Reign


I'm still cleaning out my KBShimmer drawer and today I have Purple Reign, which was the PolishCon Minneapolis 2018 VIP Bag exclusive. I'm really sad that I didn't get to attend but was happy to be able to buy a VIP bag on their website after the event. This is a beautiful purple holographic with pink shimmer.

KBShimmer Novel Idea (R)

Nothing To Disclose

I liked this polish so much, I bought it twice. This is KBShimmer Novel Idea (R) and it's a grape purple multi-shimmer with reflective glitter. There's SO many colors to this polish.

KBShimmer Stop and Smell the Rose

Nothing To Disclose

Another KBShimmer today! This is Stop and Smell the Rose and this was originally a beautiful rose gold holographic shade. Unfortunately, mine has faded.

KBShimmer Alcohol You Later

Nothing To Disclose

I'm working on some more KBShimmer polishes from my Helmer drawers and today I have KBShimmer Alcohol You Later, a PolishCon 2016 limited edition polish. This is a purple holographic polish with a multi-chrome red and copper shifts.

KBShimmer Up and Cunning

Press Sample

I have another KBShimmer Fall 2014 polish today! This is Up and Cunning, a deep linear holographic teal. There was definitely a point in my polish life where I had to have ALL THE HOLOS. KBShimmer always had some great formulas.

KBShimmer Tapped Out

Nothing To Disclose

When KBShimmer launched her line of reflective glitter polishes in 2021, I immediately bought three, including today's polish, Tapped Out. This is a gorgeous dark-wash denim blue polish with glowy pink shimmer, and you can sometimes see green or gold. Add in some silver reflect pigment, and it's just amazing.

KBShimmer Flake Me Home Tonight

Press Sample

Well, today I have another faded polish, sadly. This is KBShimmer Flake Me Home Tonight, originally a mint-green metallic with silver flakes and holographic microglitter. This polish is 10 years ago and again, metallics just don't hold up like a creme or even a holo.

KBShimmer Pine-ing For Yule

Nothing To Disclose

I was in love with this polish when it first came out in Winter 2014. This is KBShimmer Pine-ing For Yule, a clear-based glitter with holographic micro glitter, green triangles, and red stars. I didn't realize it at the time, but this was a Toys for Tots charity polish! If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that I'm now a Toys for Tots coordinator, which makes me very excited.

KBShimmer Spot Sign


I was so excited when today's KBShimmer Spot Sign first came out - a black and holographic glitter in a clear base with these super unique leopard spot U-shaped glitter. I decided to layer this one over my previous KBShimmer manicure.

KBShimmer Hugs and Wishes


I'm continuing with more KBShimmer today and this is from the Fall 2014 collection. This is Hugs and Wishes, a dusty lavender creme. I do feel that my bottle has faded slightly since its original release.

KBShimmer Bean There, Done That

Nothing To Disclose

I have another Chicago PolishCon 2017 limited edition polishes from KBShimmer today. This is Bean There, Done That, inspired by the chrome silver sculpture, which reflects the sky and surroundings in Millennium Park (most commonly known as The Bean). This polish also has a beautiful color shift shimmer from blue to pink (and I really saw it as more purple).

KBShimmer Scribble Me This

Nothing To Disclose

Glitter toppers - love them, hate them, or just in between, this is a glitter bomb for sure. This KBShimmer from Summer 2014, called Scribble Me This, is packed with black, white, and neon glitters. I decided to layer one coat over yesterday's manicure.

KBShimmer Shore Thing


Today's KBShimmer polish is from the 6th Anniversary Trio back in 2014 and this is Shore Thing, an aqua creme. The other two polishes in this trio were Hexy Bikini and Beach Please.

KBShimmer Let's Slang

Nothing To Disclose

Today's KBShimmer polish had me in a chokehold when I first saw it. This was a PolishCon Chicago 2016 exclusive polish called Let's Slang. It's a deep midnight blue/purple packed with color-shifting pigments. I cannot believe I haven't worn this formally.

KBShimmer The Best Mum Ever

Nothing To Disclose

I'm bouncing back to the KBShimmer Fall 2016 collection today with The Best Mum Ever. This is a medium lavender crelly base with iridescent pink microflakes. This is a very pretty purple and I'm so glad it hasn't faded over time.

KBShimmer Laugh Myself Lily

Nothing To Disclose

I have some more KBShimmers to go through and today I have Laugh Myself Lily from the Spring 2014 collection. This was listed as a muted jade crelly with holographic hex glitter in gold, pink, silver, lavender, and blue. 

KBShimmer Smells Like Green Spirit


Today I have another polish from the KBShimmer Fall 2016 collection called Smells Like Green Spirit, a grass green glitter with tons of holographic sparkle. This polish is the perfect glitter green to me!

KBShimmer Sage It Ain't So


Today I have a polish from the KBShimmer Fall 2016 collection called Sage It Ain't So, a soft green crelly base with copper, lavender, and silver holographic glitters and silver holographic shimmer.

KBShimmer Hello Dahlia


I've been going through my KBShimmer drawer and today I've pulled a polish from the Spring 2016 collection. This is Hello Dahlia, a shimmery orange crelly with micro holo dust and golden micro flakes. This polish was based on the 2016 Pantone Spring/Summer shade "Peach Echo."

KBShimmer Beach Please

Press Sample

In 2014, KBShimmer was turning 6 years old and came out with an Anniversary Trio. Today, I'm showing Beach Please which originally was a neon pink creme with lots of purple tones. Sadly, like most pink-purple neons, this one has faded to just pink.
