kbshimmer: Sandy for Polish Pick Up

Grease is one of Christy's favorite movies, and when it came to the Musical theme, she knew that she could use no other for her August Polish Pick Up exclusive.

At the start of the movie we instantly have all the feels for this young couple at the beach. Waves crashing, sun setting, we see the love between the two. Only when we hear that Sandy is leaving do we know we are in for a not so typical love story.

Those beach scenes inspired this sandy colored shade, called Sandy. The polish is loaded with a shimmer that shifts from the pink of sunset to the blue of Danny’s eyes. Holo glow flakes give this nude polish a hint of Sparkle.

And it makes the perfect palette for nail art! I used Girly Bits Acornucopia to stamp with Vivid Lacquer Plate 014.

I wore two coats of Sandy with kbshimmer Clearly On Top topcoat. The formula was buttery and opaque on the second coat.
Since it was pretty sheer on the first coat, I checked how it would look over another color, and yes folks, this can be used as a topper too!

Coming August 3rd exclusively to Polish Pick Up!

Blush for Polish Pick Up: Lasso The Moon

The theme for April's Polish Pick Up is Across the Universe - Planets & Galaxies.
Victoria from Blush created a lunar-ific polish! Her inspiration is "It's A Wonderful Life" - specifically the scene where George tells Mary that he'll lasso the moon for her.
*While this is a black and white movie, she went with her own dreamy idea of the moon to go along with George's endearing sentiment of capturing the moon for Mary.

Lasso The Moon
A soft silvery-taupe base with a violet-blue shimmer, holographic pigment and holo flakes.

The formula is fantastic and almost a one coater, but I used two in the photos. The Blush brush is amazing as always. If you have not tried Blush you need to just for the brush! What better time than now with the beautifully glowy shimmery polish!? I don't think I have seen one quite as glowy as this. Lit from within!

Lasso The Moon will be available 04/06/2018 – 04/09/2018 at https://www.polishpickup.com

KBShimmer | Rock This Way

For most children, there is nothing better than a sweet treat. A cool popsicle on a hot day, a handful of candy coated chocolates at the movie theater, candies that turned your mouth a rainbow of colors, candy is king. Pure sugar, vibrant blue color, and berry flavoring, all crystalized on a stick, rock candy and the blue mouths of children that love it is the inspiration for KBShimmer’s first Polish Pick Up shade.

Rock This Way
a vibrant blue raspberry, cobalt blue color. Holo glow flakes float among this bold shade, while blue shimmer adds a pop of brightness to this sweet lacquer. With full coverage in two coats, this 5-free shade is not one to miss for blue polish fans!

The formula was fluid and effortless to apply. Shown is two coats.

I was ecstatic when I saw the included rock candy lollipops in my blogger kit! In my childhood, I would save up my allowance in case we went to a store that had them.

I may or may not have promptly eaten these after their photo shoot was finished. :D
