KBShimmer | Suns Out Collection

Press Sample of the KBShimmerSuns Out Collection I’m back at work and taking my lunch break to type up a new post for the KBShimmer Suns Out Collection! This is a 9 piece tri thermal collection with aurora shimmer mixed in. I held off swatching these until my time off this week because the indoor temp needs to be just right for me to get 9 different tri thermals to photograph just right. Generally we have the room a/c unit running in our office when Nick is home. He runs warm, but I run cold – and with the a/c going – the colors won’t hold for photographs. So while he was at work, I did tri-thermals. Before we jump in, I have to mention that because of my way of doing this (basically heating up the room a bit) some of the bottles went to their warmer shades as…

KBShimmer Winter 2018 Collection

Press Sample of the KBShimmer Winter 2018 Collection I have the KBShimmer Winter 2018 Collection to share this morning! I’m up bright and early and enjoying a little time to myself. Our water heater went out (which I rudely discovered Wednesday night when I jumped into an ice cold shower and yelped) which Nick fixed on Thursday afternoon (he seriously can do it all.) Unfortunately the water heater is in a small little closet in our hallway area, and it collects dust and traveling cat fur. Nick is allergic to cats – so he’s been stuffy since. He’s sleeping in right now and my son is at a friends house for a sleepover (that little social butterfly) so I’m enjoying some quiet me time. At any rate – here we are to look at the KBShimmer Winter 2018 Collection! I don’t have much info in yet – so we’re flying…

KBShimmer Falloween 2018 Collection

Press Sample of the KBShimmerFalloween 2018 Collection I think it’s safe to say that I got a lot accomplished this weekend. I’m about 99% caught up on posts – and it feels pretty darn good. Next up tonight we have the KBShimmer Falloween 2018 Collection! This is a 10 piece collection and we have a little of everything. Glitter crelly? Check. Creme? Check. Multichromes? Check. It’s all here and then some. The KBShimmer Falloween 2018 Collection combines 2 things I love – Fall and Halloween. And you already know the punny names are gonna be good. These will be available starting tomorrow (look I’m on time again!!) So lets jump right in. KBShimmer | Best Witches Best Witches is a vibrant purple jelly base packed with silver holographic glitters. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. There is a lot of microglitters, so you may need…

KBShimmer Throwback Collection

Press Sample of KBShimmer Throwback Collection I have a fun collection to share tonight! I’m a little behind (nothing new here!) so you’ve already seen these around the nail world. It’s the KBShimmer Throwback Collection! This is a pretty incredible collection to me. Some of these polishes were in my very first blogger package I ever received from KBShimmer. About half of these have been featured on my blog before, while the other half I purchased, but they didn’t make it onto the blog. But I do own the original releases of them all. KBShimmer is re-releasing these throwback shades as part of their 10th Anniversary celebration. These 8 shades all released in 2012 or 2013 and are considered “fan favorites” One thing I want to mention is that, for those newer to indies – when I started in the indie community, the majority of indie polishes involved glitter. Lots…

KBShimmer Hard To Empress

Press Sample of KBShimmer Hard To Empress I feel like things are just always crazy around here. Once tax season was over, my work went into full blown moving mode. Our office is moving in 3 weeks and we’re going paperless (eep) so we’ve been scanning like crazy while packing up the office. At home we’re adjusting to the new Summer schedule with Jacob. In previous years he would generally hang out at his dad’s house while I was at work (his dad’s girlfriend was home) but they moved across the US back in September. So this Summer Jacob has been staying home with either myself or Nick, or he’s been a busy bee and has plans with friends to go out. I’ve been driving around in my new car and I am still so happy with it. I’m still getting used to all the keyless wizardry that goes along…
