KBShimmer Fall 2014 Collection

*Press Samples (some were purchased by me)*

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA for most of the week, but I was out of town for a bit at a football game and at the lake (unfortunately, I have the sunburn to prove it). Today I have the KBShimmer Fall 2014 Collection to share with you! I was able to pick 5 from the collection to swatch and then I just couldn't narrow it down, so I purchased the rest of them! That's how awesome they are! There are 3 cremes, 2 holos, 1 glitter topper, and 4 glittery jellies/crellies. These are scheduled to be released on September 15th on KBShimmer's website. Let's get on to some swatches!

How You Dune? is a light greige creme. Formula on this one was top notch! It was the perfect consistency to cause no streaking! I used 2 coats for this mani. I know greige is a popular color, but I just don't have many. I've fallen in love with this one! It just looks so chic!

Hugs and Wishes is a dusty lavender creme. It leans slightly warmer than my pics show (it was hard to capture accurately). Formula was good on this one, though it was slightly thinner than the other two. I used 3 thin coats for this swatch.

Stonewashed is a dusty denim blue creme. This one was almost a one-coater, but I used two for good measure. A beautiful color for fall!

Kiss and Spell (over Hugs and Kisses...which looks so washed out in these sunshine pics for some reason) is a Halloween glitter topper with all sorts of matte glitters (all sizes of hexes, shreds, and stars) in orange, green purple, black and yellow. This one works best with a thin first coat and a dabbed second coat to get all of the glitters in place since the larger glitters require a little bit of placement for them to lay flat on the nail (at least with my curved nails they do). I used 2 coats of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to smooth out this glitter. So fun for Halloween!

Jack has a black jelly base filled with orange and black glitters (including micro bar glitters). Jack is a re-release just for Halloween. Formula was great with perfect coverage at 3 thin coats with the perfect density of glitters. This polish screams classic Halloween.

Rust No One is a rusty orange-red linear holo. Formula was fantastic with full coverage at 3 thin coats. This color is just stunning and the holo flame is really nice.

 

Up and Cunning is a teal linear holographic polish. Formula was similar to Rust No One and I also used 3 thin coats here. Another huge winner for the holographic line of KBShimmers.

Flannel Surfing is a grey tinged blue crelly with orange, aqua, teal, and silver glitters. Formula was great and it built up nicely in 3 thin coats. It had nice spreadability and glitter density as well. This was another one that I smoothed out with 2 coats of topcoat.

A Raisin to Live is a burgundy jelly filled with different sizes of holographic glitters/pigments. This polish built up nicely in 3 thin coats and has wonderful sparkly depth. It is just amazing...one of my favorites from the collection for sure!

 

  

Leaf of Faith is a dark red jelly filled with red, orange, and gold glitters with a sprinkle of holo sparkle. Once again, another great jelly/glitter formula from KBShimmer. This one was perfect in 3 thin coats. If you can only get one polish from this collection, let it be this one. It totally embodies fall and is the perfect red glitter polish. So much love for Leaf of Faith!!
