KBShimmer: Sea-ing Is Believing Collection

The ocean and sea have long been sources of inspiration. For some, the blue waters inspire tales of fantastical creatures like mermaids and sirens wreaking havoc on those who set sail. Other sea-inspired souls may be tempted to brave the waters by diving below and seeking shipwrecks full of lost riches. Inspiration can even be found ashore, where vacationers prefer to explore the sandy beaches to find stunning shells or sip fruity drinks under the warm sun. This March, let KBShimmer take you on a trip with nine sea-themed nail polishes.

Launching on March 8th, 2024, the Sea-ing Is Believing collection will be available at KBShimmer.com and other online stockists.

Current Affair
A vibrant, Caribbean blue nail polish. An ultramarine blue base quickly flips to show off aqua hues. A scatering of holo glow flakes offers a subtle pop of sparkle like waves upon the shore. At some angles, hints of cobalt and turquoise appear. Two coats shown with Clearly On Top topcoat.

Super Star
A fun nail polish topper loaded with small sea star-shaped silver holographic gliters swimming within a shimmery green to purple base. Small holographic hex gliters in pink, blue, purple, and silver float within the base like fish in the sea. Shown in one coat followed by Smooth Moves and Clearly On Top.

Dressed To Kill
A vibrant shifting fuchsia nail polish inspired by crustacean-colored swimsuits. A warm pink-leaning red base amps up the fuchsia-to-violet shimmer in this lacquer. Is it pink or coral? Only you and the light around you will know for sure! Shown in two coats with Clearly On Top topcoat.

Shell We?
A soft beige reflective shade with a copper-rust-gold shifting shimmer. Shown with flash in the fifth and sixth photos which bring out more sparkle and a sort of rose tint. I wore two coats with Smooth Moves and Clearly On Top, for a high gloss and smooth finish. The reflective pigment is finer than previous and I found it removed much more easily, leaving everything clean.

Get Off My Tail
A mermaid-inspired shimmering nail polish with magical color flips. A bold grape base contrasts a sea green hue that quickly flips to shades of teal, blue, and indigo. This vibrant polish is accented by glowing holo flakes, mimicking the sparkling scales of mermaid tails. My favorite of the bunch, this mystical shade is shown in two coats.

Isle Be There
A teal-leaning cerulean blue jelly nail polish. Loaded with a mix of color-shifting flakes, the jelly base comes alive with shades of golden yellow, sea green, aqua, and teal blue. Two coats shown for a swimmingly good manicure.

Seaing Is Believing
A pale lavender microflake nail polish with incredible prismatic shift. This gleaming shade has a rosy-pink color that quickly transforms to peach and gold with a change in lighting or viewing angle. In some lighting, aqua and purple will pop from the flakes against the purple base. Shown in two coats with Clearly On Top.

What A Pearl Wants
A white iridescent microflake nail polish. The multifaceted shade can be layered to add an opalescent shimmer to any manicure. Two coats shown alone for a uniquely colorful manicure showing off a rainbow of hues in pink, gold, green, and copper. Over some shades, you may catch hints of blue.

It Comes In Waves
A true mint green cream nail polish with aqua undertones. This Caribbean water-inspired shade covers farily well in one coat, though I used two coats to ensure even coverage and then followed it with Clearly On Top.

Storm Drops 2.0 - grey w/ aqua UP sibling, *slight reformulation. A UP polish that hasn't been restocked in a very long time. It has aqua OG UP *sibling* shimmer, and is inspired by Illamasqua Raindrops. It has more aqua UP than the original, addition of a smaller aqua UP size, less silver flakie, is a bit more sheer so the UP pops more, and has a bit more white flakies. (The aqua shimmer is /very/ hard to photograph) Base is a blue-green leaning pale grey
