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!

Crows Toes: Abracadabra

Crows Toes: Abracadabra launched at HHC as a limited edition polish in March of 2016. I purchased it and finally wore it in 2017 which means that, yes, this is another vault post!

Abracadabra has a variety of multi-colored ultra-chrome and taupe flakes plus holographic micro-glitter and was launched with two others that I did not purchase.

It is super sparkly and in your face. I tried really hard to capture its beauty, but felt that I failed at that. xD But here it is, in all it's sparkly loveliness!

Sunburst
a neon orange based jelly with rainbow shards and shimmer throughout.
The pigment used is known to have a slight odor so Alicia has scented it with a Gummy Bear scent!

I wore two coats with topcoat for photos. Just look at that juicy sparkle!
