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…

Sweet Heart Polish Disney Inspired Glitter Collection

Press Sample of Sweet Heart Polish Disney Inspired Glitter Collection Good morning and Happy Tuesday! I took a few days off from posting to get a lot of my built up swatch pile done that was left over from Tax Season, plus spent a lot of time out and about with my son! We went and saw Rampage on Sunday and then did some shopping. The weather was nice, so it was a perfect day to get out. Now I’m back at it, and I’m kicking this week’s posts off with the Sweet Heart Polish Disney Inspired Glitter Collection! This almost takes me back to when more brands were releasing glitter toppers – and I honestly kind of missed it! It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to really mess with color combos for my blog. Most toppers I get now are Unicorn Pee or shimmery in some capacity and…

Grace-full Nail Polish In Omnia Paratus Collection

Press Sample Who’s ready for more Gilmore Girls goodness from Grace-full Nail Polish? I have the Grace-full Nail Polish In Omnia Paratus Collection! In May of 2016 I showed you Grace-full Nail Polish Oy With The Poodles Already, which was also inspired by Gilmore Girls. So if you are a Gilmore Girls fan, that’s another collection to check out. This is the second installment that I’ve reviewed. Grace-full Nail Polish In Omnia Paratus Collection is an 8 piece collection that consists of 4 holographics, a multichrome, an ultrachameleon chrome flake, a microglitter and a glittery jelly. After each description I will be including Theresa’s inspiration and thoughts behind the polish! Ready to take a look? Get A Hooker The name made me giggle, so I’m kicking it off with this one. Get A Hooker is a bright pink scattered holographic with hot pink shimmer. The base pink is bright, but no…

Fanchromatic Nails The Maze, I Am In A Dream, These Violent Delights & My Dreams Are About Frosting

Press Sample I have a fairly special brand on the blog today! Back when I was fairly new this particular brand reached out to work with me, and it was one of my first swatching opportunities. 5 years later, they contacted again and here we are! I have Fanchromatic Nails The Maze, I Am In A Dream, These Violent Delights & My Dreams Are About Frosting to share with you! Fanchromatic Nails sent 4 shades to review and they are just as fab as I remember them! Let’s take a look at these 4 shades. The Maze First up we have The Maze, which is a thermal polish. This is easily my top pick (I love thermals when I can photograph them) but it also held up this post a bit! As soon as I received it, our temps here went into the 105 range… and it would stay cold long…

Now I am swatching away and I have a new review for you! The Sea Lore Polish Balboa Sights & Sweets Collection!

Balboa Bars & Bumper Cars Balboa Bars & Bumper Cars is a white crelly with red, yellow, orange, green, pink and white glitters with iridescent shimmer throughout. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat…
