KBShimmer Spring 2016 Purr-fectly Paw-some and Pools Paradise

*Polishes provided for an honest review*

Hello sweet friends! I'm still munching on leftover Easter candy and happy I found some Reese's eggs on clearance. I'm also back with two KBShimmer Spring polishes to show you, Purr-fectly Paw-some and Pools Paradise.  Let's start with my favorite of the two, Purr-fectly Pawsome....

Above is how Purr-fectly Paw-some looks indoors and in most light.  I love the subtle linear holo and I'm all things periwinkle right now.
*Interesting side note, this was a shade lighter before I applied topcoat. I used KBShimmer Clearly On Top and it definitely darkened the polish.  I LOVE how it looks though, so I was not sad about it!  Then I went outside......

WOW! The holo on this one is a stunner, you will not be disappointed in this polish if you love holos.  This is part of the Spring 2016 collection and also considered one of KBShimmer's Ultra Flair Linear holos. I think you can see why. :-)
All photos are just 2 coats of Purr-fectly Paw-some and topcoat.

The next next polish is another of KBShimmer's perfect crellies.  Pools Paradise is a pretty slightly green leaning aqua with tiny matte pink, periwinkle and aqua glitters. Very pretty and formula was great as always!  I used 3 thin coats of Pools Paradise and Clearly on Top.

There are so many other polishes from the Spring collection that I love, so I will be picking up a bunch.  My other picks include Hello Dahlia, Prints Charming, and I Wet My Plants.  You can check out the entire KBShimmer Spring and Mega Flame collection (14 total)  at www.kbshimmer.com

KBShimmer Fall 2015: I've Seen Sweater Days & Soul Deep

 *Provided for review*

Hello my sweet friends!  I have a couple of shades from the newest KBShimmer collection, Give Thanks For Glitter, to share today.  KBShimmer has wonderful quality polishes that are reasonably priced, and is a queen of crellies.  These two polishes coordinate so well together that it seemed a shame to not wear them both.  I'm in awe of the combinations she comes up with, so lets get right to the polishes!

First is I've Seen Sweater Days, a muted aqua crelly. KBShimmer describes it as such: A muted teal crelly, pops of cobalt blue glitter, lime green holo glitters and sliver glitters accent this polish. 3 Coats are recommended for full coverage.

You can see in this shot the holo glitters shine (there is no pink glitter, that's holo).  So gorgeous....I love the muted tone that makes this wearable any time of year.  I've Seen Sweater Days started sheer, but was fully opaque in 3 easy coats.

Soul Deep is the deep inky, indigo cream.  This is definitely a one coater polish!  I used 2 coats in my swatch but only because I didn't know what to expect.  The second coat darkened it to almost black, so I'll stick with 1 from now on.  Very good formula. No staining after a few days either, but I did use a base coat.

I also got to try KBShimmer's quick dry topcoat Clearly On Top which I am loving - so shiny and great consistency!  I have been on the hunt for a new topcoat that was not too thick and this is my new go to.  All swatches have 1 coat of Clearly On Top.

In all the KBShimmer polishes I've tried, I have nothing but good things to say!  They really are a top notch polish and I hear their Mani Shots are amazing!  If you're interested in I've Seen Sweater Days or any of the other colors from KBShimmer's fall collection, you can find them on Amazon and on www.kbshimmer.com

I'm wearing a holo? This is Surreal...

But, really it is....

This is a Sephora (Formula X) oldie and the name is Surreal.  :)  This was a polish I happened on last year at Big Lots for $2.99.  It simply looked like a light aqua chrome in the bottle. No trace of holo.  Then I tried it, and bam!

This was my first official holo, and I had no idea I even had it in my possession. This formula is superb, it didn't really show brushstrokes for being a chrome in shade and indoor light.  In the sun it's a lovely aqua holo.  This was 2 very easy coats, no top coat, and very fast dry time.

I know you can still find this on eBay and other places online, but I believe Sephora discontinued this line of 'hologram chromes.'  It's not super unique but it's very pretty with both properties playing off of each other.
Below is a photo in the shade and one more in the sun, so you can see the difference!

It goes to show the surprises you probably already have in your collection...so go through some untried polishes! :)
