Press Sample of KBShimmer
Summer 2016 Collection

The KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection is releasing on June 1st, and I have all 12 gorgeous shades to share with you here!

This collection contains cremes, holographics, ‘birthstone finishes’, shimmers and of course, the glitter crellies KBShimmer is so well known for! There will also be a new limited edition Summer scent that you can get ahold of in mani shots, lotions and scrubs called Margarita Lime – and it’s tangy, sweet and perfect for the season!

I’m not going to babble too much since I know most will just be scrolling down to photos anyway – so on with the show!

Along For The Tide

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection Along For The Tide Swatch

Along For The Tide is a stunning medium bright blue scattered holographic with blue and pink fleck shimmer mixed in. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Don’t Play Koi

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection Don’t Play Koi Swatch

Don’t Play Koi is a white crelly base with turquoise, coral and grey glitters in various sizes mixed in. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

I actually slipped a bit with this one. In a Facebook group I’m in, someone asked what colors we’d like to see group customs in, and I said I wanted to see more turquoise, grey and coral. Someone responded to me saying they wanted to see it in a crelly and I said “I think KBShimmer did one” because (even though it was sitting right in front of me) I thought it was already done by KBShimmer. When I realized my flub I went back and said “nope, I’m mistaken”

Oops.

Good Reef

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection Good Reef Swatch

Good Reef is a neon peach creme base packed with pink glass flecks. This is a little darker in person. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Gull Get Real

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection Gull Get Real Swatch

KBShimmer expanded on their ‘Birthstone finishes’ and if you are unsure what those are, you can check out my KBShimmer Birthstone Collection review

One Night Sand

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection One Night Sand Swatch

How Low Can You Flamingo

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection How Low Can You Flamingo Swatch

How Low Can You Flamingo is a bright neon pink creme. It’s a bit brighter in person (we know how my camera loves neons!) and is stunning! I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Mai Tai One On

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection Mai Tai One On Swatch

Mai Tai One On is a gorgeous yellow creme with gold shimmery flecks packed in. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

I found this shade to be a tad streaky on the first 2 coats, but the 3rd smoothed it all out.

Margarita Lime Mani Shot

The Limited Edition Summer scent is Margarita Lime! I received the mani shot of this, and it’s long used up – and oh so amazing! It’s got some tartness, a little tang and reminds you of a delicious margarita! You will be able to snag this scent in lotions, scrubs and mani shots (which I will be doing once they are live on the site!)

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection Overview

I absolutely adore the mix of finishes in this collection! There truly is a little something for everyone – shimmers, holo, flakes, cremes, glitter crellies.. the works! Application was nice with all 12 shades and no matter which ones you get – you won’t be disappointed.

My favorites for this collection are: Good Reef, Don’t Play Koi, Playing With The Buoys, Along For The Tide, How Low Can You Flamingo, and Suit The Breeze.
