KBShimmer Spring Pop Art/Comic Nail Art!

Press Sample

Hi guys! Yesterday I posted the creme polishes from the KBShimmer 2014 Spring Collection!
For today's post I used them for a nail art look inspired by Katie Satow's tutorial (see here!)

They came out alright, but I didn't leave quite enough room on my middle and pinky finger.
Oh well.. you live and you learn! I used the following shades for this manicure!

KBShimmer A Touch of Glass, Eclipse, Life Rose On, and Pansy-Monium.
I can't recall the white I used, but it was probably Milani White on the Spot!

I'd like to try this manicure again leaving more space for the zig zags and  with neater lines, I'm a bit rusty though!

I love these colors together so much! What do you guys think?

Press Sample

Hey guys! Today's post is half of the Spring Collection from KBShimmer!
Today I'm posting the creme shades, and I will try to get the others up very soon.

I know I'm super behind on these since you know, it's summer now...I know I've been such a fail blogger this year.
I do really appreciate those of you who hang in there with me though, you guys are the best. <3

Scroll down to see these absolutely gorgeous creamy shades from KBShimmer!


A Touch Of Glass - Three coats.

A Touch Of Glass is a light aqua mint with hidden shimmer.
Went on a bit sheer and streaky but builds up well.


Chick Me Out - Three coats.

Chick Me Out is a bright yellow creme.
The formula was kind of slightly streaky but built up nicely. Well worth it!


Eclipse - Two coats.

Eclipse is a super shiny black creme.
The formula was really great, went on smooth and easy.


Honeydew List - Three coats.

Honeydew List is a dusty pastel green creme.
Same as A Touch of Glass here, a bit sheer and streaky but buildable.


Life Rose On - Two coats.

Life Rose On is a vivid cerise pink creme with blue undertones.
The formula was phenomenal, one of the very best int his collection.


My Life's Porpoise - Three coats.

My Life's Porpoise is a neutral light grey creme polish.
Goes on really nice and smooth, could definitely be a two coater.


Pansy-Monium - Two coats.

Pansy-Monium is a medium purple creme with red undertones.
This shade went on easily - very smooth and it is super stunning!


Sky Jinks - Two coats.

Sky Jinks is a medium but bright blue creme polish.
This one was another with a phenomenal formula, goes on easy breezy!


This gradient was done with a sponge and Life Rose On, Pansy-Monium, and Sky Jinks.

A few of these were a bit sheer but they all applied nicely. I can't even express how much I love these!
You will see the others soon, but this is such a good overall collection! This is one of my favorites from Christy.

I have some fun nail art I did with a few of these also! Keep an eye out for that tomorrow!
My absolute favorites are A Touch of Glass, Chick Me Out, and My Life's Purpoise!
But I love each and every single one of them and see myself using them frequently!

Contrary Polish Bright Lights, Small City (July A Box, Indied) - Swatch & Review

Press Sample

hi all! Today's post is featuring the Contrary Polish LE shade from July's A Box, Indied!
You can purchase A Box, Indied exclusively from Llarowe.

The shade is called Bright Lights, Small City and it's inspired by the 2013 Missouri State Fair.
Reminds me that I haven't been to a fair in years! I might have to go to the 2014 Missouri State Fair (or the maybe KC one)

What have you guys been up to? I bet a lot of you are doing the same as me, binge watching the Orange is the New Black!



Bright Lights, Small City - Three coats.

Bright Lights, Small City is a stunning dark royal blue jelly that is full of orange and pink shimmer.

Two coats had adequate coverage without VNL but I added a third to account for flash.
The formula was a littler thicker than most Contrary Polishes but it applied well.

Follow Contrary Polish, Llarowe and the A Box, Indied Facebook pages to stay up to date on the monthly boxes!


I also layered it over a dark blue to see how it looked (which was gorgeous of course!)
I put one coat of Bright Lights, Small City over Nicole by OPI This Blue is So You.
I prefer it build up alone though, the layers show all the shimmery layers.


I hope you guys are all doing fantastic and having a really great week so far!
I still can't even believe that it is June!
