KBShimmer Fall 2014 Collection Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Happy Friday!  What a better way to kick off the 3 day weekend than to show you the Fall 2014 Collection from KBShimmer!

This collection introduces 9 new colors into the KBShimmer family, plus an oldie makes a return!  Lets take a look at these 10 shades.

Jack

Jack Is Back!  This classic Halloween polish is back for a limited time.  Jack is a black jelly base with orange hex glitters, a scattering of orange micro slices and black hexes and shreds.I used 2 coats of Jack alone for these photos, but if you want you can do 1 coat over a nice black base to make the orange glitters really POP!

How You Dune?

How You Dune? is a perfect creme greige (not quite grey, but not quite beige… a perfect blend!).  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Hugs and Wishes

Hugs and Wishes is a slightly dusty lavender creme that is probably my favorite of the 3 cremes released.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Stonewashed

Stonewashed is a gorgeous dusty navy blue creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos and had absolutely no staining issues at all.

Kiss and Spell

Kiss and Spell is a Halloween themed polish loaded with a variety of shapes in traditional Halloween colors. Purple, Orange, Yellow and neon green stars swim among black and orange circles and hexes, and hexes in purple, neon green and yellow. I used 1 coat of Kiss and Spell over How You Dune? and I was mildly shocked at how easily the stars came out!  No fishing at all.

Rust No One

Rust No One is a rusty, red leaning pumpkin linear holographic.  Perfect for Fall!  I used 2 smooth coats for these photos.

Up And Cunning

Up And Cunning is a beautiful deep teal linear holographic.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Flannel Surfing

Flannel Surfing is a faded blue polish with gray undertones and pops of orange, aqua and teal glitters complete this polish.  I used 2 coats for these photos.  This polish is slightly glitter heavy, so applying in thin layers helps to avoid glitter build up.

Leaf Of Faith

Leaf Of Faith is a favorite from the collection! This is a deep cabernet red jelly with red, orange and gold hex glitters mixed in, and a scattering of holographic glitters.  I used 2 coats for this squishy beauty.

A Raisin To Live

I saved my favorite for last!  A Raisin To Live is a deep burgundy, blackened Ox Blood colored jelly base full of holographic sparkles.  This is the “vampy” cousin to Witch Way.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Overview

I love the mix within the collection.  Cremes, linear holos and glitters give everyone a little something.  I used KBShimmer’s Clearly On Top Fast Dry Top Coat for all of the photos above, which can also be purchased on the KBShimmer site for $5.00.  I had no application issues, but as I said with Flannel Surfing, it is glitter heavy so thin layers work best to avoid a glitter pile up that can result in bumps and lumps.

Price: $7.50 for How You Dune?, Stonewashed and Hugs & Wishes – $8.75 for all others.

Where To Buy: KBShimmer Website and Harlow & Co

Release Date: September 15th, 2014
