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

Blush Lacquer's contribution to the upcoming Polish Pick up is inspired by the Dark Cherry Granita.

And a couple bonus nail art shots! I found a stamp of tiny cherries and stamped them in a pale green shade to match with the green shimmer in the polish.

The polish base color definitely changes depending on lighting. In dim or warm toned light, the base looks chocolatey. In other lighting I see a vivid pink shimmery tone, and under my lamp with daylight bulb it looks cherry like the inspiration image. Such a beautiful polish! Mark your calendar, you need this. :)
