PPU: KBShimmer Grand Finale & Sweet Sangria Scrub

PR Sample

Polish Pickup's theme for April is the periodic table of elements. I have two KBShimmer items to show you today, these are launching on April 1-4 for pre-order.



KBShimmer Grand Finale
No Cap
A nod to Christy's favorite purple fireworks. A red-leaning violet base is filled with sparkling holo glow flakes. A near metallic-like shimmer shines bright in hues of gold, copper, and bronze for a unique shade that mimics glittering pyrotechnics. This shimmery shade is shown in 2 coats with topcoat. Formula was good, no issues to report.



KBShimmer Sweet Sangria Scrub
A sweet and fruity blend as refreshing as a glass of sangria loaded with seasonal produce. Sweet grape notes are brightened by a hint of tart berry. Deep wine notes amplify hints of orange, black plum, and pineapple for a combination that promotes visions of relaxing days laughing with family and friends. I love the fruity sweet combo, definitely a burst of summer in a jar!

KBShimmer: Smooth Moves

PR Sample

A little while back KBShimmer did a soft launch of their new Smooth Moves product. It is to be applied over textured polishes, such as glitter, before topcoat to help give the polish a glassy finish. I was sent a bottle to test out and the results are good!
I've used Smooth Moves and Clearly on Top on all my swatches for the new Lounge Collection, this being one of those polishes. :)

Daveen Lacquer: Astral

I got Astral back in November 2020, when Daveen first launched. I was excited to get to wear it finally, (full-time career, part-time student, swatcher life!) and thought I'd share some pictures! Daveen polishes are handmade in Michigan by Felecia, and are 5 free. All of their polishes do not contain: toluene, formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, camphor, or formaldehyde resin.

I love the high contrast shimmer! It shifts from gold to green and the grapey base is so yummy. The polish seems to glow so much and is such a complex polish. I'm wearing two coats in the photos, topped with KBShimmer Clearly On Top topcoat.



The formula was buttery and so easy to apply. I love the 15ml cube bottles, the holographic label, and the brush! I have spoken with Daveen's owner, Felecia, a few times and she is a delight to chat with!
If you haven't tried Daveen yet, you should! There is an email subscription option at the bottom of their shop page, be sure to sign up for launch announcements!
