Good morning lovelies! Taking a moment to sit down and enjoy a cup o' Joe, do a little online shopping, get ready for kids sports and that's right...blog! So I'm popping in with a post to share some gorgeous new KBShimmers that will be dropping on 3/15! There are actually 2 parts to the collection launching on this day, but I decided to separate them out so you weren't overwhelmed with a zillion pictures. I picked up the Spring collection first. Hullo pretties! This set will please those that love crellies, holos and glitter! So let's not dilly dally about and let's jump right in!
*press sample*
Alright alright, up first I have Hello Dahlia, a gorgeous dusty peach crelly full of micro holo dust and golden flakies. This beauty is base on the Pantone Spring/Summer 2016 shade Peach Echo. Formula was just the slightest bit patchy/streaky. But the formula was easy to work with. I used 3 coats to get full coverage and even out the layers. I finished with a layer of topcoat.
Prints Charming (what an adorable name) is a white crelly polish with fuchsia, turquoise and sapphire glitters. I love how the colors pop against the clean base! Formula and application were both top notch, no issues to mention. I used 3 coats for almost full coverage, and finished with a layer of topcoat.
I Wet My Plants (oh goodness, this is a hilarious name), is a pastel periwinkle crelly with pink, sapphire, silver and purple glitters. This one is based on Pantone Spring/Summer 2016 shade Serenity. I love the take on this Pantone color, very unique and original. The formula and application were both fabulous. I used 3 coats for full coverage and finished with topcoat.
Pools Paradise is a lightened green leaning aqua full of neon pink, periwinkle and aqua glitters. This one is base on Pantone Spring/Summer 2016 shade Limpet Shell. I did think the glitters were a bit "thick" in this one so you definitely want a good topcoat to ensure everything is nice and smooth. Aside from that there are no issues with the formula or application. I used 3 coats and topped it with topcoat.
Moving along to the holos, this is Purr-fectly Paw-some. It's part of the new Ultra Flair line and is described as a pastel blue linear holo with steel grey and lavender undertones. I find this shade very soothing and the uber linear holo is totally gorgeous. Formula and application were purr-fect. I used 2 coats for full coverage and no topcoat.
The other holo in the collection is Peony Pincher, another Ultra Flair holo. This one is a pastel pink with lavender undertones. I love this shade or pink! Not in your face, not like a Barbie. Just a nice, wearable shade of pink. Formula and application were stellar. I only needed 1 coat for full coverage and no topcoat.
Rounding out the collection is my favorite from the Spring 2016 set. Upside Round is a glitter topper that adds a punch of color and fun to your mani. The glitters are all neon shades and different sized circles. I have seen it over white (check out Cosmetic Sanctuary's swatch of it over white in her review HERE) and when layered over a dark base, like I did you get a different look. The glitters seem darker and more vibrant. I used 1 coat on top of KBShimmer Soul Deep. I was very pleased with the glitter payoff. The glitters came out early and spread well on my nails. I finished with topcoat.
