KB Shimmer Glitters

 

press samples

Good evening,

Tonight I have the long awaited post of the glitters I got from the new KB Shimmer Line.  This is Make Me Grey and is one if my favorites of the line because it is on the white side with a hint of grey.  I just love those whites.  It is packed with glitter and this is a truly wonderful formula.  Now, when I say wonderful I really mean it because it is so pigmented that undies are totally unnecessary.  I did use a coat of a white polish, when I put the first coat on I was thinking this doesn’t need any panties.  I was about to take it off but was already so far on both hands that I just decided to stick with what I normally do.  Then the glitters are just a perfect combination for spring, magenta, teal and some grey.  I know for sure I will be using this one often this spring

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next one is Laugh Myself Lily.  A beautiful teal glitter polish with silver, pink, lavender blue and gold.  This one reminds me of Teal Another Tail.  I have been wanting to do like a skittle indie and I just saw one in my collection and can I say it’s going to look pretty darn good when I do it.  This has the same formulation as the Make Me Grey, no panties really needed because it too is very pigmented.  It is just gorgeous and I am so happy that this is one I was selected to review.  The thing about this color is that you might think you have to stick with a certain color when you wear it but nope not an ounce of truth.  During November, when my daughter came to visit I was wearing it I wore it the whole weekend and on color that really compliments teal is brown.  I love those two together.  I was going to wear this brown and wacky jumpsuit that someone had on their pinterest board as things not to wear, well,  it is beautiful on it made me look thin and the polish looked great with it.  I had forgotten how good brown and teal looked together.  Come to think of it I haven’t worn that jumpsuit since then I am going to have to pull it out.  If you want to see it you can view it on my pinterest boards under My Zulily closet.  I don’t know whether to be embarrassed but everything in that closet are actually in my closet.  It is the only jumpsuit in there so it is not hard to find.  So, make a long story short this polish will go with anything as you will see when you see my ring picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here it is the ring picture.  The stone in the middle is a little deeper orange I thought it made a great color combo.  I thought of placing little orange rhinestones in the middle but decided since this is a review I would wait until I did a full blown nail art look which is coming really soon.

So, after I finished these I got another set of samples to review and I was so happy so I am working on those.  I just broke a nail really badly and was waiting for it to grow a little longer which it has so look for that post after then next one I am going to do.  Don’t forget to enter the giveaway.  I am adding one more prize.  So, keep an eye out for that.

Ciao Bella,

Patty

So sorry,

Change in Blog

 

I have decided to start reviewing some beauty products.  I just reevaluated my makeup and realized I needed a to buy some things just to update.  I am a big Mac fan but I use other cosmetics too.  I still think that for me it is important to share with others what it feels like dealing with depression or other health issues so I am moving that to another blog.  It won’t interfere with this blog because I don’t have to take pictures.  It is just going to be more of a blog about my personal life.  I am having some health issues that are leaving me asking a lot of questions but I am not the type of person who just takes things lying down.  I investigate and investigate till I get an answer.  It is just that having the career I did before I was forced to quit that was what I did and it is just a skill I never want to lose.  So, those posts that I have written about some pretty personal stuff will be on the other blog and this blog will be one that I can really write about anything.  Patty and Goldie’s Day Off will be a beauty blog.  The name of the new blog is Knivesdepressionandnailpolish@blogspot.com

So, you can now check it out.  I’ve been doing it for about seven months now but it was private so I feel ready to be able to share more of living with depression.  I haven’t posted yet I assume I will by later tomorrow.  So, check that one out.

 

Ciao,

Patty

KB Shimmer Spring Swatches Part 1

press sample

I always get excited when one of my favorite indies releases a new collection and feel honored that I get to review the polishes.  So, I have five polishes to show but tonight I am going to show you 2 and tomorrow I have the other two.  I just need to do a the cropping but I did not want to wait to show you at least two.  As you saw on the press release there are several crèmes in this collection.  I got the magenta one and I love it.  It is called Life Rose On.  I have one thing to say I am definitely going to order some of these.  The one polish I remember reviewing and saying I could not get over the feeling of it going on like butter was Lancome polish.  I haven’t really found that consistency in any other polish until now.  I love it.  It dries quickly and you really don’t even need a top coat.  I just always use one because I don’t want my manicure to get messed up.  These are going to be available March 14, 2014 and priced at $7.50 a real bargain.  I just love this formula and you got to try at least one.  I am going to buy one for my therapist who is a closet polishaholic.  She loves Zoya so she going to go crazy over these.

The next one is called Quick and Flirty.  It is a purple holo.  It is a nice color goes on smoothly unfortunately there are a lot of purple holos.  If you don’t have one then I would say yes this is a must for any polish collection.  I like it unfortunately I do have Color Club and Jade holos in purple so, I might skip over this one only because I have three like this already.  Of the five polishes I am going to review this is the only one that just leaves me warm.  Now, talking about the formula it is very good it dries quickly and all you need is two coats to reach full opacity.  I am not giving this a bad review it is good polish the thing I am saying is that if I was just buying from the line I would not buy this one because like I said I have three like this. 

So, the holos and glitters will be available also on March 14, 2014 and they will sell at $8.75.  So, get ready to spend some money because this is a great line.  If I was on a budget I would get a glitter and definitely a crème.

Tomorrow I have two post part two of the swatches and another really exciting one.  So, watch out for those.

Ciao for now,

Patty

KKBSHIMMER ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF TWO NEW COLLECTIONS

Ok, so I got this and was so excited because this is a great line.  I just love these.

KBShimmer Spring Polish Line Set For Release March 14^th, 2014

KBShimmer is excited to announce the addition of 16 new colors to their 3-Free polish line.  Owner Christy Rose says “Spring has inspired the KBShimmer staff to create two collections filled with fun, vibrant color.  For the first time, we will also be offering cream polishes.  These polishes pair wonderfully with many existing KBShimmer polishes, but are also wonderful alone.”

The Spring 2014 Glitter Collection includes one glitter top coat, one sparkling jellies, four glitter creally polishes, and two holographic polishes.  “Spring is such a fun time, with flowers in bloom, warmer weather, and Easter.  Though the snow is still around for many, we were inspired this spring by the thoughts of warmer weather, and the many different flowers that come with it.  Easter also played a part, with us borrowing many of the tones and colors you find in Easter candy” says Rose. 

 

The Spring 2014 Cream Collection offers 8 polishes in opaque, cream finishes.  Rose states “We are very excited to offer up polishes in cream finishes.  Not only can each of the 8 new colors be worn alone, those creams are ideal for layering.  We use creams not only for glitter top coats, but for under creally and jelly polishes too.”  Both collections are set for release March 14, 2014^st at KBShimmer.com.  Polishes in the Glitter Collection will retail for $8.75 per 15 ml bottle, while polishes in the Cream Collection will retail for $7.50 per 15 ml bottle.
