KBShimmer: Polish Con NYC Exclusives


Who’s ready to see KBShimmer Polish Con exclusives? We Make Your Dreams Come Blue & Grand Prospect Holo are both beautifully shifty polishes only available at Polish Con NYC April 29th.

Grand Prospect Holo
An amazing multichrome that shifts from a dark teal to bright aqua to purple to navy and at some angles and dimmer lighting you can see a reddish-bronze shade. It’s packed with holo microglitters resulting in a super sparkly shifty manicure that looks different every time you look at it.

I wore just two coats and although it is mostly smooth to the touch, I added topcoat to seal it in and give a glossy shine. I enjoyed wearing the polish for about a week, turning heads here and there. The polish really did a number on my camera, so I took a few shots that are oddly lit, but really show off a bit of how the polish shifts. For reference, the first shot of each pose is taken in my usual lighting.

We Make Your Dreams Come Blue
An icy blue jelly base loaded with holographic microflakes and stunning turquoise shimmer. This polish just glows from within, which is why its my favorite of the two here. I wore two coats with topcoat for a glossy shine.

Turtle Tootsie Polish Con LEs


Are you excited about Polish Con!? I certainly am. And here's one more reason to get excited, Turtle Tootsie will be launching these limited edition polishes at Polish Con for $10 each or all three for $27.
They are limited in quantity, and any overstock will be listed in her shop after the event.

Each polish has a different finish and hue, a nice variety to choose from here!

Dream Big - An orange, rose and purple multichrome holographic polish. Can I just say wow? It's coppery, it looks orangey in some lights, almost red-brown in others and that purple shimmer is omg, then there's a big holo punch under bright lights. I wore two coats and topcoat - and this is my favorite of the three.

Sparkle Always - A black jelly polish with silver holo micro glitter and purple shimmer. I wore two coats and after topcoating was smooth and glassy. Formula was good and easy to apply.

Shine On - A turquoise blue linear holo polish with purple shimmer. This is bright like the sky and opaque in two coats. I did find this formula just a tad thick, but not unmanageable.

For all the polishes in this collection I wore two coats, formula was smooth and fluid. For some, one heavy-ish coat would be plenty.
I also decided to stamp with them to see how that worked, since they seemed pretty opaque.
