KBShimmer: I Keep Falling Collection

The air is chilling, the cozy sweaters are out, and we’re officially bewitched by autumn! KBShimmer has captured all those perfect fall weekend vibes. From snuggling up with a soft blanket to the fun and trickery of the Halloween season in the new "I Keep Falling" collection. Mark your calendars: the collection launches October 1st, 2025 at kbshimmer.com. Let's take a look at the swatches and details!

xoxoJen's swatch of KBShimmer I Keep Falling


Azure Wish - a strikingly vibrant azure blue magnetic multichrome nail polish. With changes in viewing angles and lighting, aqua, indigo, purple, and even near-navy hues come out to play. Intensely pigmented for velvet-style magnetic nails, Azure Wish also looks stunning with zig-zag or other magnetic styles.

Blanket Statement - a purple jelly nail polish with raspberry undertones. A scattering of fuchsia reflective glitters comes alive in light and with flash, adding a fun glittering effect. Color-shifting flakes steal the show, flashing from pink to gold, to orange and lime, for a shade that will enthrall you. Shown with Smooth Moves Glitter Topper and a coat of Clearly On Top quick-dry topcoat.

Candy-Do Attitude - a raspberry jelly flake polish. Beautiful flakes shift from blue to purple, orange to gold, to almost red, with added deep black flakes. This jelly shade builds beautifully for a bold look. Shown with Smooth Moves Glitter Topper and a coat of Clearly On Top quick-dry topcoat.

Constellation Prize - a bold and shimmery cobalt blue glitter nail polish. Like stars in the sky, mini silver hex holographic glitters float in the base, catching the light for an enchanting twinkle. Larger silver dots mimic stars, creating out-of-this-world sparkle. If lucky, you may catch a crescent moon, but if not, don’t worry, each polish includes a mini bag with holo silver full and crescent moons for easy nail art placement. I placed a few crescent moons and then topped with Smooth Moves Glitter Topper and a coat of Clearly On Top quick-dry topcoat.

Heated Up - a flame-like magnetic nail polish that dances with rich, warm colors. Bold near-red-orange and auburn hues vibrantly seem to move, while gold and green appear with different lighting and viewing angles. Intensely pigmented for velvet-style magnetic nails, Heated Up also looks stunning in 2 coats with zig-zag or other magnetic styles.

I’ll Bewitch You Shortly - an enchanting reflective and shifty nail polish made to twinkle and shine with magnetic properties. When worn without a magnet, an indigo-to-blue-to-midnight shift sets off magical pink sparks that shift into orange and gold. In brighter light or under flash, silver reflective glitter comes out to play, amping up the blue shade (not shown). When used with a magnet, the black background sets off the sparks and the purple-to-blue shift of the magnetic pigment. Wear without topcoat for a fun textured look (the maker’s favorite). Shown with a coat of Smooth Moves Glitter Topper and a coat of Clearly On Top quick-dry topcoat in both velvet and zig-zag magnetic styles.

Hella Handmade Creations: September 2025

Get ready for a new month of goodies! The Hella Handmade Creations (HHC) shop is about to open for September, and I have a preview for you. This monthly pre-order shop is your destination for limited edition polishes and so much more including stickers, wax melts, nail polish magnets, and other bath and body items. Since everything is limited, it's best to grab what you want during the pre-order period, and remember, it takes about a month to receive your goodies.

Today, I’m excited to show you four polishes and a few other products that will be available this month from LynB and Victorian Varnish. The HHC shop goes live on September 14, so get your wish lists ready! Check out the HHC shop here!

Tincture Acetone Additive Duo, blends well together!

Tropical Tea: An intricate balance of mango nectar, wild currant, bergamot tea, island breeze, key lime, passionfruit, papaya and magnolia blooms.
Berry Boba-ly: Creamy coconut with red mango and crisp apple create a juicy, refreshing opening, while sun-dried fruit adds a subtle, natural sweetness. Bright lemon and tropical pineapple bring a lively, zesty twist, and desert lily adds a soft, floral note. The smooth warmth of palm round out the fragrance, evoking the feeling of a tropical paradise drink: fruity, fresh, and perfectly balanced.
