Painted Polish Painted Pines

Here is Painted Polish Painted Pines- say that 3 times fast haha! A stunning forest green jelly full of holo glitter! It is no secret that I adore the formula of Painted Polish, and this one did not disappoint! Smooth, sparkly, amazing.  This is 3 perfect coats.

 For fun I decided to try and water marble over it. It was surprisingly successful, in my opinion. While the clear polish did dull the holo sparkle, it was still a stunning and sparkly manicure.

OPI The Sky's My Limit

WOW!! That's really all I need to say about this. While I don't totally understand how this fits in to the OPI Mustang collection, I'm so glad they decided to release it. This is the most amazing polish, it is very similar to the VHTF OPI Catch Me In Your Net.  While I cannot compare them, I do know that these are not at all dupes, just similar ideas. 

This is 3 flawless, amazing, beautiful coats.

Sea Lore Aquaversary

SeaLore Polish released Aquaversary to celebrate their 2nd anniversary as an indie polish line. Sea Lore was the first indie line I tried, and they have a very special place in my heart.  All of their polishes are inspired by sea life and mermaids.  Aquaversary is a smooth sea glass toned polish with a slight holo effect. 
Polished used for the mermaid:

Satursay Spam-KB Shimmer Swatches

Here are some KBShimmer swatches for your viewing pleasure! This is a brand that never ceases to amaze me.  So many new colors every collection, but the formulas are always amazing!

Eclipse
3 thin coats, great glossy formula and wear time! Perfect, creamy, glossy black.

Touch Of Glass
3 thin coats. pale icey sea glass like blue, almost minty blue.  slight silver shimmer.


Stonewashed
2 thin coats. With slightly thicker coats this could easily be a one coater. Dusty medium blue creme.

Shipwreck
Medium teal jelly base with purple, teal and orange/green iridescent hex glitters and tiny orange and green glitters.  Ring finger 1 coat over Stonewashed.  The jelly base is pretty sheer- this is 3 thin coats.  I prefer the look of one coat over a matching creme.

Holly Back Girl
 White crelly base and 3 sizes of red and green hex glitter.
Ring finger 1 coat over white.

What are your must have KB Shimmer polishes?
