I have another Shimmer polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap and it's named Crystal (so close!). This is a glitter bomb of brown, gold, green, amber and there was originally holo sparkle. This polish was originally released in 2013 and I do feel like some of the green glitter has faded.

When KBShimmer launched her line of reflective glitter polishes in 2021, I immediately bought four, 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.

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.
