Rogue Lacquer: Adventure Awaits, Isle of Wight

Press Sample

Rogue Lacquer's new series, Adventure Awaits, begins with a set inspired by Isle of Wright. The collection will be available online April 10, 9pm Central at Rogue Lacquer's online shop.



Prawn Cocktail
Inspsired by the shrimp in a cocktail, a pinky coral shade with holo and micro gold sparkles

Loving this shift in this! The shimmer morphs the polish to a much more orangey shade. I'm guessing there might be aurora in here which because of the reddish base, appears orange instead of greenish when it shifts. Pretty clever magics there, if that's the case! I love how base colors can affect the actual color of a shimmer or glitter. Shown in two coats with topcoat.







Shanklin Chine
Inspired by the garden, a minty base with pink to green shimmer and blue reflective speckles

Such a beautiful shimmery pale shade of green. It reminds me of the super popular Dior shimmer polish, only this one kicks it up a few notches in the sparkle department! Shown in two coats with topcoat.






Alum Bay
Flakes represent the different colors of sands.
A holo sandy base with all different colors of flakes.

I'm wearing this one today and loving it. Neutral but super fun and sparkly! Shown in two coats with topcoat.






Carisbrooke Castle
The castle is hundreds of years old, with a lot of history.
Super squishy stone grey crelly with flakes that represent the moss that has grown on the castle.

The pops of green against the grey are so pretty! Who woulda thought this combo would catch my eye they way it does?! Shown in two coats with topcoat. The first coat was quite sheer and I first thought it would remain that way with another coat, but the second coat built it up quite nicely.

Kbshimmer: Launch Party Trio 2019

Press Sample

One year ago, KBShimmer took a leap forward and launched a new look to celebrate the anniversary of their 10th year in business! They debuted the new logo and packaging featuring holographic accents by bringing you Launch Party, a beautiful magnetic space-themed collection!

On April 8, we celebrate the one year anniversary of KBShimmer's new look - which we love even more today! - by bringing you a new magnetic top coat trio! This trio features magnetic multichrome flakes and vibrant micro holo flakes for a celestial look that is out of this world!

Eclipse
Deep, dark, nothing. Black is a fashion staple not only in clothes, but also on your nails! This is a true black cream. With careful application, I got opaque coverage in 1 coat. Shown with no topcoat, just one coat of Eclipse. I wore this polish under each of the swatches below. Formula is creamy and smooth.





All the magnetics are shown in 1 coat over Eclipse, using the KBShimmer ring magnet, then topcoated. Their formulas are smooth and apply evenly.


Moon On Over
As dusk gives way to night, the vibrant tones of nature become muted as moonlight casts a soft glow. Moon On Over is inspired by those muted tones and features a soft peach hue that shifts to pink, lime, and grass green. Micro holo flakes add sparkle and shine to this magnetic flake top coat. Best worn over black or other dark colors when used with a strong magnet, Moon On Over can also be worn alone in 2-3 coats when not magnetized for a unique multichrome finish.







Sol Mate
Hot, fiery, and warming, the sun changes our moods, warms our homes, and gives life to our planet. Sol Mate echoes the colors of nature that the sun helps bring to life. Starting as a bright pink, Sol Mate quickly shifts to shades of gold, green, copper and peach. Micro holo flakes add sparkle and shine to this magnetic flake top coat. Best worn over black or other dark colors when used with a strong magnet, Sol Mate can also be worn alone in 2-3 coats when not magnetized for a unique multichrome finish.







Universal Appeal
Galaxies swirl with planets, stars, dust and dark matter. Universal Appeal is a galaxy-inspired shade alive like the Milky Way, with hues of purple and pink that shift into a vibrant emerald green. At some angles, hints of golden orange or dusty silver also appear. Micro holo flakes add sparkle and shine to this magnetic flake top coat. Best worn over black or other dark colors when used with a strong magnet, Universal Appeal can also be worn alone in 2-3 coats when not magnetized for a unique multichrome finish.







Kbshimmer's Ring Magnet was used with above swatches. Below is Christy's description and her photo. It comes in a perfectly sized plastic case!

Magnetic polishes are an out-of-this-world invention! With the power of a magnet, color is shifted and relocated on the nail for a futuristic effect. For best results, you need a strong magnet with the right magnetic pattern – and not all magnets will work. The KBShimmer Neodymium Ring Magnet will give your magnetic polish manicures a makeover! This one-inch magnet has a convenient 3/4-inch opening large enough for most fingers, and is 1/4-inch in width. For a curved, negative space on the nail, hold ring flat against nail about 1/4 inch away. For a subtle linear look, hold nail inside the ring. This magnet can be used with all magnetic polishes (including gel varieties).
