KBShimmer Spotted
My middle school memories include iconic, colorful folders, trapper keepers, and notebooks boldly decorated with unicorns, kittens, pandas and leopards. Near-neon hues and fun drawings captivated us as preteens. I remember trading colorful stickers and saving my allowance to get the matching pencil case or stationery.

Spotted is an array of neon-colored circle glitters and black circle and leopard spot glitters. For best results, pull your brush straight out of the bottle and dab glitters on the nail. Each Spotted nail polish comes with a small baggie filled with extra leopard spots for manual placement. Shown in one coat over KBShimmer's "Caught On Tape" which is a pale beige cream. All of it is topped with Smooth Moves and Clearly on Top. I placed the leopard spots for this manicure.

KBShimmer Sweet Cinnamon Roll Scrub
Waking up in the morning to the sweet smell of cinnamon rolls baking is wonderful. The warm gooey breakfast comfort food is the inspiration for the Sweet Cinnamon Roll Sugar Scrub. The deliciously scented scrub features top notes of cinnamon and hints of caramelized brown sugar and nutmeg. I pick up a faint whiff of melty butter and baked bread which makes this scent truly authentic.

Drunk Fairy: Ah Baloney!

As promised, below is another of the polishes I recieved from Drunk Fairy polish.

Ah Baloney!
A very light white pink crelly with a strong ultra aurora shift from emerald to blue to violet. It's difficult to capture this under luminous studio lights. In the shadows, though and regular house lights the shimmer is definitely more apparent to the eye. The formula was a bit tricky, similar to other white polishes. Fewer brush strokes during application is the key for a smooth beautiful finish.
