KBShimmer; Wanderlust Collection, Summer 2018

Evening friends!  Sorry for the night time post, it was a busy first day of Summer with my kiddos home.  So I am finally sitting down and can share this fabulous Summer collection with you.  Wanderlust is the strong desire to travel.  I definitely have a bit of the Wanderlust bug, wanting to see new places, experience new things, try new foods. KBShimmer will launch the Wanderlust Collection on 6/15 and the polishes will be $10 each, or the bundle of 8, including a sweet multi chrome zipper bag, for $90.  Let's jump in and check out these Summery shades!

Zoya; Thrive Collection, Spring 2018

Evening dears!  Hope you had a fabulous Monday and the day went by quickly.  My oldest shipped off to Science Camp for the week.  I'm curious if you went to Science Camp because it seems that other states don't really do this, I'm in Northern California.  Anyways, after some tearful goodbyes I'm just ready for Tuesday, actually I'm ready for the weekend!  But I'll plug along until then (not like it'll be any more relaxed than the crazy week schedule).  Tonight I have the Zoya Thrive Collection for you to enjoy.  This is a fabulous 6 piece collection with nice shades that sit somewhere between pastel and bright, just the colors your nails need to lift your spirits from this cold Winter!  The Thrive collection is available now and you can pick them up for $10 each or the complete set for $60.  Let's get to the pictures and check them out.

Colors by Llarowe Mild & Wild 2018 Collection

Good morning and happy Saturday! We have survived another week, it was an especially long one for me.  I worked out 3 separate times yesterday just to have some stress relief.  I got it, and my body is sufficiently sore from doing new things (paddle board cardio/yoga anyone?!).  So needless to say, I was a bit preoccupied with my body yesterday and didn't have a chance to sit down and get a post up. I'm making up for it today with a post or two, starting off with the up and coming Colors by Llarowe Mild & Wild 2018 Collection.  2 4-piece sets of coordinating polishes with a "mild" or "wild" theme. All 8 are fantastic.  The Mild & Wild 2018 collection will be available on 2/1 for $5 or $11.  I'll comment on the ones that are $5.  You can buy the whole collection for $68. Now that you have all that info, let's check out some polish!

Evening dears!  I am working on this post, mainly because I am avoiding the ever growing laundry pile that needs to be folded.  I swear the laundry is a chore that never, ever ends.  I maybe get 1 day where I don't have to think about it because I have literally washed every single article of clothing/bedding/towel in the house.  And can you believe January is almost over?!  I was just thinking about that and how it's almost Valentine's Day!  I have some perfect polishes for the Hallmark holiday to show you tonight.  The Zoya Kisses Collection consists of 3 pastel jellies and a color shifty topper!  Yup, perfect for some sweetheart nails.  The Zoya Kisses are available now and you have a few purchasing options; individual bottles are $10, the trio of jellies is $30 or the quad with the topper is $40.  Let's jump in and check them out!

Darling Diva Polish Deadpool Collection Part 2; Even Deader (some names are NSFW!)

Good evening dears!  Sorry for not getting this post up yesterday.  Sometimes family life just takes it out of me and I find myself flopped down face first on the bed by the end of the day.  Truthfully I feel like that again tonight but for different reasons.  So here I am tonight with the post I promised yesterday.  Carrie did it again!  The first Deadpool collection was so fabulous she created Part 2; Even Deader.  Let me again tell you that some of the names on these polishes aren't for young eyes or for a work environment.  You've been warned!  The Deadpool Collection Part 2; Even Deader is available for purchase now and the colors range from $10-$12.  Some of the polish in this collection are single pour so don't wait if you want flipping sexy holo flakes and multi chromes then this collection will totally be your slow jam.  This post is pretty large so grab a drink and let's get started!

The Painted Nail: Marie-Claire & Coco

Hello again dears!  I just had a lovely afternoon at the park with some friends after school and now I'm home watching Hocus Pocus.  I figured I should make good use of my time while sitting here and realizing with my kids and share pretty polish with all of you!  I picked these up at another CosmoProf North America After Party.  This one was hosted by Katie Cazorla from The Painted Nail!  It was very exciting to meet her and hobnob with other nail bloggers.  I feel very fortunate that I was able to attend this event and learn more about her products.  Now let's take a look at some polish!

*PRESS SAMPLE*

Let's start with Marie-Claire.  This is a gorgeous deep, dark navy blue creme (maybe it's a crelly?).  I love this color and oddly don't have any polish quite this shade.  So I'm happy it's unique to my stash.  Marie-Claire had a flawless formula and applied like a dream.  It built up to complete opacity in 2 coats.  I'd guess that Marie-Claire could easily be a one-coater if you use more polish on your brush than I typically do.  I did not use topcoat for my pictures.  Did I mention that I am digging the bottle shape too?  It has a nice feel and is easy to hold.

The other polish I received was Coco. This is a beautiful shimmery color shifting polish.  I used it as a topper thought it's possible it could build up nicely on it's own in 3-4 coats.  I went ahead and put Coco over Marie-Claire because I thought they'd work nicely together, I was right!  Love when that happens.  I see so many colors in this bottle - gold, red, fuchsia, green, teal, purple.  I even saw some deep greens and a deep blackened color in specific lighting alas I couldn't catch any of that in my pictures.  Regardless, Coco is stunning.  I used 1 layer of Coco and no topcoat.
