 KBSHIMMER ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF NINE NEW POLISHES
KBShimmer Summer Polish Line Set For Release June 1st, 2013

Visit https://www.kbshimmer.com/press-release/ for an online version of this press release that includes pictures suitable for web use.

KBShimmer is excited to announce the addition of 9 new colors to their 3-Free glitter polish line and an expansion to their nail prep line.  Owner Christy Rose says “With warm weather and sandals popping up, June is the perfect time for bright, bold colors and patriotic themes to celebrate a fun and exciting summer.”

The summer lineup includes one glitter top coat, two glitter crellys in a white base and six bright, bold polishes, two in a matte finish.  KBShimmer will also be expanding their nail care line to include two scented cuticle oils and liquid nail prep. “Our new line was created to play off the bolder palette of summer, some inspired by the 80’s and 90s, but also to celebrate the patriotic season. One of our polishes plays off the color of the year, Emerald Green, and will ease people into the summer while two others were inspired by the fall 2013 Pantone colors Koi and Vivacious. Both will make for an easy transition through the summer and into the fall.  We are also excited to unveil two scented cuticle oils in an easy-applicator pen.  We hope to inspire and motivate people to go out in the sun and show off their nails!” says Rose.

KBShimmer Spring 2013 Swatches 1

Today I have a few polishes from the KBShimmer Spring collection to share with you.  The collection will be officially released on February 15th, and you can preview all of the colors in the press release. Here is a bottle shot to show off the new labels.  The lighter color polishes have a black label, and darker polishes have a white label which provides great contrast for easy reading.  The new polishes also come with a new flat brush.

I love glitter polishes that build up well without having to apply a base color underneath.  The first two colors are just that and they applied flawlessly.  I applied three coats of each to get a nice layered glitter effect and for full coverage.  Each of these manicures are also topped off with two coats of KBShimmer Clearly On Top, which smoothed out the glitter for a nice glossy finish.

This is “Iris My Case” a light purple crelly (creamy/jelly) base loaded with purple, pink, silver and blue glitters of different sizes.

“Spring Training” is a light green crelly base with pink, purple, blue and green glitters of different sizes.  The color combinations of both of these crelly/glitter polishes just scream spring!

And finally we have “A Dot Mess”.  First, love the name… second, love the circle shaped glitter!  This one is a top coat that’s meant to be layered over other colors and it’s loaded with fuschia and black glitters and microglitter.  I layered it over OPI Fly for a nice contrast.

So what do you think? Do these put you in the mood for spring?! I can’t wait to also get my hands on “Little Dottie” and “Get Clover It”!

KBShimmer is excited to announce the addition of 9 new colors to their 3-Free glitter polish line.  Owner Christy Rose says “With Easter, warmer weather, and Spring Break fast approaching February is the ideal time to introduce softer pastels to our lineup, but also to add a splash of bold color.”

The spring lineup includes three glitter top coats, two bold jellies, and four creamy pastels, one of which is scented.  “Our new line was created to play off the softer palette of spring, but also to accent unique glitters like small black dots and spring 2013 Pantone colors like the color of the year, Emerald Green.  We are also excited to debut this collection in our new printed bottles.  With the printed bottles, and our glitter grabbing flat brush, we feel our polish is a solid addition to any collection” says Rose.

KB Shimmer Swatches 3

I purchased a few KB Shimmer polishes from my wishlist this week and I’m so in LOVE with them!  I had to try them all on this morning, so I have swatches of all three.  They all applied very smoothly and evenly, and I didn’t have to go fishing for glitter.  (Unfortunately my nails are now super short… ugh.  I had two bad breaks and had to cut them all down.)

Anyway… on to the swatches.  Each manicure is 3 coats of polish with 1 thick coat of Seche Vite top coat, which is the best for taming glitters in my opinion.

This is Don’t Teal Anyone… my favorite of the lot.  The color combo is so awesome and the blue gel base has great coverage.  I have this on both hands right now and plan to leave on for a few days.

This is Oh Splat!  I’ve had an obsession lately with polishes that have a white base and different colored glitters.  Of all the ones I’ve tried lately, this is my new favorite.  I feel like I say that every time I try one, but I swear this is the one!  LOL  Again, the base had very even coverage.  It was pretty opaque with just two coats, but I applied 3 coats in all of these swatches just for consistency.

And this is Toucan Touch This.  The green base in this polish was much more sheer than the others, but it also applied great.  It has another great color combo.  Next time I might try adding this on top of another color to see what it would look like.
