Polish Pickup: Halloween

The theme this month for Polish Pickup is Halloween! Launched Sept 4 at 10am Central through Sept 7, 11pm Central. A heap of fantastic brands have offerings this month, and I have some of them to share with you!

xoxoJen's swatch of Polish Pickup: Halloween


Alter Ego Nothing Good Happens After Midnight
A deep midnight blue jelly, reminiscent of the sky after midnight where cauldrons are being stirred, cackling is heard with the recitation of wicked spells.
No Cap

Super squishy and perfect for the fall season! The perfect polish for jelly sandwiching glitter or a stamping design in between! Shown is two coats with topcoat.

Alter Ego Spooky Soap
Made with a light fresh scent, not too floral. Suitable for a wide variety of noses!
Made with Cynthia's signature formula of unrefined shea butter, unrefined kokum butter, babassu oil, castor oil and enriched with Vitamin E oil. Each bar is at least 3.5 oz when cut. (cure time may reduce weight as moisture evaporates from each bar)
Cap 20

KBShimmer Light My Fire
Inspired by cool nights and bonfires, this polish will spark warm memories. The blackened base is filled with multichrome flakes that shift between orange, red, gold, and copper depending on the viewing angle. The magnetic pigment shows off a similar spectrum, with rusty oranges, golden yellows, and burning red tones. Use a magnet to show off the flakes and a fiery pop of flame-like color. The polish also has a scattering of micro holo flakes to add a little sparkle.
No Cap

Shown with two coats, no topcoat. I used a bar magnet to get the diagonal line effect.

KBShimmer Apple Harvest sugar scrub
The fragrance begins with notes of apple and then gives way to a sugary, creamy caramel note accented by subtle traces of cinnamon and stewed pears. I totally get caramel apple when I sniff and then this sort of creaminess becomes more noticeable as I keep sniffing it. This is one of those that you'll close your eyes and smile when you smell it.
No Cap

Lollipop Posse Lacquer Shivering Down Your Spine
An electric blue crelly filled with pink, color-shifting iridescent flakes
Cap 490

Beautifully vibrant blue shade and those pink shifting flakes show through so well! I love a good blue/pink combo and this one delivers.

Such spooky polishes! These brands have outdone themselves again!
Each polish is shown in two coats with glossy topcoat unless otherwise stated. Formula for each was good, as I typically find with indie polishes.

KBShimmer: PPU & IPU September 2019


xoxoJen's swatch of KBShimmer PPU & IPU September 2019


Lime Margarita Sugar Scrub
Inspired by a scene in Practical Magic when the quartet of witches sings about limes and coconuts while sipping their margaritas.
This juicy, drink-inspired scent starts with notes of salty lime blended with subtle hints of raspberry, apple, strawberry, and peach. Finished with wisps of jasmine and vanilla, this scent smells so much like the real thing that you'll wish you could drink it!

It smells so much like the real thing that after using the scrub I was wishing I had a margarita to drink! As with all of Christy's scrubs this left my skin soft, supple and smelling delicious!

Something Wicca This Way Comes
Inspired by Christy's favorite WB show, Charmed. A magnetic duochrome polish whose base shifts from shades of blue to hues of purple. When a magnet is used, the multichrome magnetic effect moves through shades of peach, pink, lime and gold. Finally, sparks of holo micro glitter and colorful flakes are reminiscent of magic floating through the air.

This looks like an aurora borealis in the night sky to me. I have always wanted to see them in person. I freaking love it! Shown in two coats with topcoat. I used the S magnet for the effect.

Kbshimmer: Launch Party Trio 2019

One year ago, KBShimmer took a leap forward and launched a new look to celebrate the anniversary of their 10th year in business! They debuted the new logo and packaging featuring holographic accents by bringing you Launch Party, a beautiful magnetic space-themed collection!

On April 8, we celebrate the one year anniversary of KBShimmer's new look - which we love even more today! - by bringing you a new magnetic top coat trio! This trio features magnetic multichrome flakes and vibrant micro holo flakes for a celestial look that is out of this world!

Eclipse
Deep, dark, nothing. Black is a fashion staple not only in clothes, but also on your nails! This is a true black cream. With careful application, I got opaque coverage in 1 coat. Shown with no topcoat, just one coat of Eclipse. I wore this polish under each of the swatches below. Formula is creamy and smooth.

All the magnetics are shown in 1 coat over Eclipse, using the KBShimmer ring magnet, then topcoated. Their formulas are smooth and apply evenly.


Moon On Over
As dusk gives way to night, the vibrant tones of nature become muted as moonlight casts a soft glow. Moon On Over is inspired by those muted tones and features a soft peach hue that shifts to pink, lime, and grass green. Micro holo flakes add sparkle and shine to this magnetic flake top coat. Best worn over black or other dark colors when used with a strong magnet, Moon On Over can also be worn alone in 2-3 coats when not magnetized for a unique multichrome finish.

Sol Mate
Hot, fiery, and warming, the sun changes our moods, warms our homes, and gives life to our planet. Sol Mate echoes the colors of nature that the sun helps bring to life. Starting as a bright pink, Sol Mate quickly shifts to shades of gold, green, copper and peach. Micro holo flakes add sparkle and shine to this magnetic flake top coat. Best worn over black or other dark colors when used with a strong magnet, Sol Mate can also be worn alone in 2-3 coats when not magnetized for a unique multichrome finish.

Universal Appeal
Galaxies swirl with planets, stars, dust and dark matter. Universal Appeal is a galaxy-inspired shade alive like the Milky Way, with hues of purple and pink that shift into a vibrant emerald green. At some angles, hints of golden orange or dusty silver also appear. Micro holo flakes add sparkle and shine to this magnetic flake top coat. Best worn over black or other dark colors when used with a strong magnet, Universal Appeal can also be worn alone in 2-3 coats when not magnetized for a unique multichrome finish.

Kbshimmer's Ring Magnet was used with above swatches. Below is Christy's description and her photo. It comes in a perfectly sized plastic case!

Magnetic polishes are an out-of-this-world invention! With the power of a magnet, color is shifted and relocated on the nail for a futuristic effect. For best results, you need a strong magnet with the right magnetic pattern – and not all magnets will work. The KBShimmer Neodymium Ring Magnet will give your magnetic polish manicures a makeover! This one-inch magnet has a convenient 3/4-inch opening large enough for most fingers, and is 1/4-inch in width. For a curved, negative space on the nail, hold ring flat against nail about 1/4 inch away. For a subtle linear look, hold nail inside the ring. This magnet can be used with all magnetic polishes (including gel varieties).
