KBShimmer Fall 2014 Collection - Select Swatches

Press Sample

Hello Loves!  I have some gorgeous polishes to show you today from the upcoming KBShimmer Fall 2014 release.  These will be available for purchase on September 15th, 2014.  Needless to say, KBShimmer nailed it yet again!  These shades are simply gorgeous.  Wanna see them?

First up is A Raisin to Live.  Described as a "deep burgundy, blackened Ox-Blood colored polish full of holographic sparkles," it really is what I would describe as a Raisin shade.  And when they say "full of sparkles," that's no joke!  Application was a breeze and I found it covered nicely in 2-3 coats.  I swatched three here, but you could easily get by with two if your regular polish application is more up to speed than mine.  ;)  You may notice the thin spot near the cuticle on my ring finger.  That is completely my fault and not a fault of the polish.  It applies smoothly.  I simply suck at getting a clean line with RNP and tried to correct it after the polish had started to set.  That's also why I applied the third coat.

 

Leaf of Faith is the PERFECT fall polish!  The red jelly base is packed with red, orange and gold glitters plus a scattering of holographic glitter.  I found this one needs three coats to be completely opaque, but if you have a less stubborn nail line, you could easily get away with two.  I also found it to be packed with glitter - no fishing needed after a standard shake.

 

Up and Cunning was the trickiest shade of the five to photograph, but in my opinion may be the most gorgeous shade in the collection.  You know how I love my teals and my holos.  Best of both worlds here!  This linear holographic polish is a deep teal that leans green.  You can see the true shade in the shadows on the swatches below.  The holographic fire ranges from green to blue.  It's positively stunning!  Like the other KBShimmer holos in my collection, I found application on Up and Cunning to be flawless.  This one is perfect in two coats.

 

Stonewashed is an incredible dusty, medium navy cream.  Of all my gels and RNPs, I don't have anything like it!  What's more, I found this one to almost be a one coater.  It will be perfect for using with nail vinyls or tape.  I swatched two coats below.  :)

 

Finally...this one excites me the most...Jack is back!  Jack is a stunning black jelly base full of orange hexes and micro slices and black hexes and shreds.  Originally released in 2012, Jack is back for a limited time so grab it while you can!  This one is a must have for Halloween.

 

And you know with a name like Jack, I just couldn't resist a little The Nightmare Before Christmas nail art.  You're welcome.  lol  The head shot of Jack and my feeble attempt at Zero are done in acrylic paint. 

Now that you've seen them, here's when and where you can get them!  They'll be available at www.KBShimmer.com on September 15th and are priced at $8.75 each.  International readers, check out www.harlowandco.org for your KBShimmer fix.
