Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed your Monday. I was hoping mine would be an easy day since I didn't have work, but I kept running into problems throughout the day and started to get really frustrated. Not to mention after a trip to get my oil changed, I left with a bill over $260. How does that always happen? I hate how mechanics always try to inflate the bill, but when they start talking about the integrity of the brakes I can't take any chances. There goes my extra spending money this month!
Tonight I have two of KBShimmer's Spring release polishes, and both are exactly what I want to see on my nails for spring. The entire collection are mostly pastel bases and glitters, and most of them have circle glitter for those circle lovers out there.
First I have Spring Training, a lovely mint green crelly base with several multisized pastel hex glitters. No circle glitter, unfortunately. I love the combination of colors, it reminds me of an Easter basket full of colorful eggs. I found the formula to be fairly easy to apply considering the density of glitter and thickness of the polish, and I only needed two to three coats. I used three on some fingers because there was some bald patches here and there. And believe it or not, no topcoat in these pics! It dried really shiny on its own, but I'm sure a layer of topcoat would probably smooth out the texture if that bothers you.

Next I have Lottie Dottie, a white crelly based polish perfect for circle glitter lovers because there are tons of pink and blue circles packed into this polish. There are also a bunch of tiny hex glitters and the surprise for me are tiny bar glitters spread throughout. I'm not usually a fan of bar glitter but these are much smaller and almost threadlike in thickness so are much easier to tolerate. I thought application was going to be difficult because of the white base, but it wasn't streaky at all and took only two coats to become opaque. Winning! I finished with a layer of SH Insta Dri to add shine and smooth down the polish.

Overall, both of these polishes were amazingly easy to apply and so fun to look at. They're unique and perfect for the season, and I'm looking forward to trying out more of
KBShimmer's creations for spring. My question today is, with all the circle glitter polishes that are getting released, do you find yourself a fan of circle glitter?
Ooohh I love circle glitter! <3
ReplyDeleteLotti Dottie is really beautiful and I think this would be great over a green polish... Or is it too streaky?
Would you try this for me, please? ^_^'
And don't get angry about the mechanic, it's annoying but maybe your car is safer than before :-)
Ceitie, you're probably right about the mechanic. I need to think like you, which is safety first! :)
DeleteI'll try Lottie Dottie over a green, it sounds like it would be a lovely combination. I worry that the white is really opaque and the green might not show through.
