These are all so beautiful and fun. I wish KBShimmer put better photos of the swatching on their website. Their photos are very underwhelming and never do the polishes justice. I like using their polishes too because they apply so stinkin' easy!
@@KelliMarissa Yes. And, I know that their photos are not professionally done. While I appreciate and love to see how the polishes look on their customers, it would be a plus for KBS to show a professional swatch. Thank goodness they have you to review and show their true splendor. :D
I'm so glad you said this! I clicked through to buy some and literally did not recognize the polish pictured next to the array of stills from Kelli's shoot. Like....why do you suck so bad at that? It's literally your product, be better! I probably wouldn't have bought three of the 6 I added to my cart based on their imagery alone, so thank you Kelli and jeesh, terrible job KBS.
I totally agree that they have one of the most beginner friendly formulas! Their price point is incredibly competitive (though I do wish that their cremes were a bit lower priced than the special shades). Their iridescent shades are always top notch so I'm definitely most excited about What a Pearl Wants! I loved this video, Kelli! Your swatch and reviews have been a huge inspiration for my own nail polish content!
"prone to collecting" is a hilarious phrase 😂 sea-ing is believing and isle be there are gorgeous! might have to expand my own collection to try this brand someday
Omg this is just my kind of collection! I am also not a pastel person. I like bold, vibrant colors! These are absolutely gorgeous!! I love the color top you're wearing. So pretty on you! 😊
I feel like KB Shimmer does glitter really well. They actually have two of my favorites that are spring beachy vibes, Salt Water Sassy and Starfishing for Compliments.
KBShimmer knocking it outta the park again with this collection. I tried so hard to not fall in love with all on them, and ended up ordering What A Pearl Wants, Sea-ing Is Believing & Super Star because UGH they are just too cute. Iridescent polishes are my kryptonite. 😍
I collect pins when I travel too! It's the one souvenir that I always make sure I get. Pins are tiny, inexpensive, and take up pretty much no room in my luggage.
KB Shimmer has always been one of my top nail polish brands. I love all of their polishes, their formulas and their creativity. This collection is no exception. I want them all. lol. Thank you, Kelli, again, for a fantastic video. You look stunning, today. I love what you've done with your hair.
"What a Pearl wants" looks beautiful and I do love the double meaning of the name, there is a song that Christina Aguilera did called "What a girl wants" and it is a really good song.
@@KelliMarissa Too bad that KBshimmer isn't being sold in stores like Sally Beauty or Ulta, I would love to buy a few bottles and even the top and base coats as well.
@JadenYukifan28 Their shipping is super fast. Every time I order (including yesterday during the launch), I get a shipped notice within hours. And not just "label created" for days...it's tracking already.
When you turn down the brightness on your phone to get ready for bed and then see the new Kelli Marissa swatch video... Welp... There goes that idea. 🤣
A lot of these are so pretty. Outside of nail polish I have a makeup, but I think large by normal people standards, but I think with makeup people pretty small. Same with most things I love and own, I don't collect them. However, I collect dragon themed decor, (statues, art, pillows, etc) and art in general quite a bit. Art is pricy so I get it pretty slowly but I'm always adding to it.
“Prone to collecting” is the perfect phrase. I totally get it. I have collections of nail polish, journaling/stationary supplies, paper crafting supplies, eyeshadow palettes, and Christmas ornaments (we try to add at least one every year). 😊
I want the whole collection 😅 I have their Take It Or Leaf It & it's hands down my favorite topper! I collect magnets when we travel & have used up the fridge + 1 magnetic wall display. I actually need another one if we're going to keep traveling. 😂
tried this brand for the first time with a mani of RV There Yet? and Cruise Control and i'm hoooooked. absolutely need more. for the quality and amount you get the price can't be beat and the shades they come out with most brands can only dream of! i'll definitely be getting more.
i wasn't sure what to expect from this collection but Current Affairs and Get Off My Tail are standouts. The flakies too, and also Shell We? all seem similar to things i own, but just with a little more of a lighter spring vibe that i wasn't expecting to like so much. i always want to collect souvenirs from my travels. after collecting various items and never having room for them (pins, figurines, shot glasses, etc), my go-to souvenir item is a fridge magnet. super easy to display without taking up space and actually practical to have around.
The first creams i ever tried from KB Shimmer were in the last mystery box that I bought! I got a bright pink and a lime green and they were stunning for pigmentation and application. Definitely a formula I would purchase again. Very excited to see it come back in this collection.
I’m so impressed with this collection! I love KB Shimmer polishes so much and I also think they’re underrated. They have e so many beautiful specialty polishes I just don’t think of them for creams. That green doesn’t look at all minty to me but it’s a stunner for sure! Wish I had it for St Patrick’s Day nail art! I have a huge collection of polishes and crystals too! I just can’t get enough crystals and I got my son into them too so we can go to the local crystal shop and spend an hour easily!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and swatches! Love you!! ❤😍😅 💅
Have you been in Vegas for a summer? I'm a native Nevadan and you may hate our summers even though you're looking forward to warmer weather! On a different note, I've only been into nail polish (because of ilnp) for about 6 months now and your channel has taught me a lot and has saved me money watching the swatch videos so I know what it will look like! I hope you enjoy Las Vegas and remember when it comes to gambling, the house almost ALWAYS wins
Yesss we've been here for almost two years now and honestly I love the summers so far, it's pretty much the reason we moved lol 😅 I know a lot of people who grew up here (and people from California haha) don't love the heat though! I'm so glad you're enjoying my channel and having fun exploring the best hobby ever (nail polish of course 🤣💅), I'm excited to see what new polishes are gonna come out this year!!
You must have come from somewhere reeeeeally cold. I told my husband that I was addicted to nail polish (I'm . he laughed. Easy safe hobby. I just need to learn how to put it on nicely (I have watched one of your videos on that, but I should really watch more). I also love the look of gel and jellies. I watched one of your videos and caught a brief mention of the place you like to get your polish, but I can't find it again and didn't see what store it was. Where do you usually shop for your nail products, or should I say your favorite place to buy them?
I loooove KB Shimmer so much and i audibly gasped at the first swatch! I need every single one of these. They never seem to disappoint! I need to reup on my reflective topper from KB Shimmer (Out of Sequins) since I put that topper on absolutely everything lol so I’ll more than likely add 3 or 4 of these to my purchase 😩😍😭
Agreed, I know they have their place but imo I'd love them a lot more if they were marketed as soft wintery January shades! Spring is all about bright blooms!
This is my favorite collection so far this season. I was also obsessed with the very first LURID LACQUER collection too. Fairy, mermaid, ethereal... Sign me up 💜💚
Been really excited to see swatches of this collection from you! And side note, absolutely love your hair and shirt matching your eyeshadow, such a pretty color combo :)!
Hi Kelly, loving your eyeshadow today. KBShimmer has gorgeous polish, making it hard to pick a fave. It comes in waves is a pretty, but they all are! Thanks for sharing these, and have a good weekend 💌💅 Oh, I almost forgot, for collections~ jewelry, gem stones, shoes and nail polish
Oh I love these, different finishes are so much better than all the same in a collection, the colours are perfect for spring also Starfish what a great idea, a very good collection Thanks for a great review as always Kelli ❤xxx
I do usually love a collection of all the same finish but KBShimmer always makes me want to change my mind because they make such gorgeous multi finish collections!
I love your reviews! You have a way of explaining each polish with such detail and in a way I never would have thought or pictured it before. Not sure if I made sense...for instance...the first polish...would not have thought about it as fish/mermaid scales but once you said it, it elevated it some how.
i’m prone to collecting as well; i’ve always had something i collect. i’ve collected new pencils that still have a full eraser (and only in colors i like; it was a very specific collecting phase lol), keychains, button pins, stickers, and shells from beaches i visit. to a lesser extent i’ve also collected earrings and nail polish, though a lot of my 200 or so bottles of nail polish were gifted to me by two different friends who were downsizing their collections, so i kinda don’t count it as collecting, esp since now my focus is really on only buying nail polish that i really love (mainly since i don’t have enough money right now to buy all the polishes i would otherwise!)
Thank you for your videos. I really appreciate them. I started wearing nail polish religious 4 months ago to stop my nail biting, and finding your videos has helped me navigate brands because my original experience with nail polish as a teen was lack luster with the main stream brands. I really love supporting indie brands, and the quality and effect selection is unmatched. I haven't tried KBShimmer yet but really want to now. Video idea if you think this would be feasible: I would love to see you pick out your top shades from your top brands and compare formulas. In this video you discussed how you find KBS as beginner friendly. Maybe you could award each brand with their most stand-out quality as like an award show. 😂 😅
KBShimmer always makes beautiful polishes. I just love this collection, every polish is just stunning!! I agree about the beautiful and easy application - makes it so easy for anyone. I collect crystals as well. I also collect giraffe stuff, pins, shot glasses (from every state I have been to since I turned 21), and snowmen. I have tried to not really add to my snowmen and giraffes very often though....but I guess that goes to everything else besides nail polish, but mainly because I would need to actually get to go to more places.
Ooh I would love to collect shot glasses from places I've visited but it would probably be a waste because I don't drink 😂 but I always think they're so cute!!
@@KelliMarissa I don't really drink much anymore, so really it's just a collection at this point. AND I don't think I have taken shots out any of them. Lol
Oh man, I love SO many of the polishes in this collection. Hopefully the ones I want will make it to an Aussie stockists (or maybe not, because my wallet cries every time I watch one of your videos!). As for something I collect - I don’t actively collect them anymore, but I used to collect pencils. I have pencils from all around the world, from different ‘brands’ (Harry Potter, Warner Brothers, Disney, Hello Kitty etc). I have about 300 all up. I started collecting them when I was 8 after the school Principal let me pick something from his jar of fun items that he had for whenever kids were sent to his office for doing good work. It had a silver holographic covering. My eldest niece collects pencils, so I’ve started to give her my collection. Every time I see her I give her one or two. She’s always so excited to see what the next ones will be.
I was shocked that Dressed to Krill was my favorite. It is just so beautiful. I absolutely love that one. I am buying this collection. This collection is simply stunning.
Isle Be There and What A Pearl Wants are my favorites. I love the flake in Isle Be There and it kinda also reminds me of sea glass windows. And like in your recent other swatch review I'm really enjoying the polishes like What A Pearl Wants that can be worn as a full coverage polish or a nice topper.
Loved this collection! I’m with you on the color story being great for spring and summer but the super star of the collection is the starfish (or as they call it now sea star) glitter! So cute. ❤
Love this collection. Other than the bright pink that people can't get enough of, I don't have any like these in my collection. Mine doesn't quite match yours, but it's impressive enough to give that statement gravitas. There have been several great spring collections this year that don't have the typical approach, but this one excited me. I also love that you can see a difference between star glitters and the starfish option. I want to try What a Pearl Wants as a base for a dragonfly stamp. It Comes In Waves is great for this time of year. Isle be There shows off layers and depth! Shell We will look great in beach manis with some jellies. So. much. fun. P.S. Your eye makeup today is beautiful!
The "Dressed to Krill" pink shade is giving me definite vibes of Cadillaquer's "Doing Her Own Thing" which is usually shortstocked. Could be a suitable dupe!
Oh my gosh!!! I love KB shimmer soooo much! I haven’t been wearing nail polish much because I’ve become a bit of a bath addict and my nail polish always comes off in the hot water haha. Because of that I’ve definitely put myself on a buying ban but I think this collection has made me want to make sure I’m wearing nail polish more so I can justify buying this absolutely gorgeous shades! Especially shell we and isle be there
I bought one of their iridescent flaky polishes in a recent collection (one of the winter collections maybe?), and I am OBSESSED. However, I don’t know that I could tell it from some of their other iridescent flaky polishes. Dont get me wrong, if it means they always have some sort of iridescent flaky polish available, I’m here for it. I’m just saying that I feel like if you have one or two of them, you really don’t need more. I love the first polish and the peachy one especially. And the iridescent flakies of course.
I love these!!! Dressed to krill is my favorite. They are so pretty, though! ❤ And your hair looks terrific!!! I've said it before, but I love when you put color on it! 😊
These are nice. I like the variety because I am partial to crème polishes and I’m seeing a lot of shimmers and glitters lately, which is fine, but I enjoy seeing a crème in the collection.
Ooo. So many pretty and tempting polishes in this collection. KBShimmer is definitely one of my favourite indie brands and one I have a pretty decent collection of. I don’t have many of their cream polishes though cause buy creams from indies, especially with conversion rates to Canada, can get pricey, but they do some gorgeous shades.
Gorgeous collection! I don’t currently own any KBShimmer polishes but this collection may just be the push I needed to get a few. lol I have a large collection of refrigerator magnets. They are from places I have been. I didn’t plan this collection but it just sort of happened. 🤷🏽♀️ Now I think one day my fridge will either topple over or the door will fall off. 😂 I hope neither. 🤞🏽
This month is so rough with all good stuff coming out, oh my goodness. Love this KBShimmer collection, I recently tried them and ooh man are they great. Polished For Days is another indie brand and they're coming out with a spring collection next week that looks INSANELY good. Loved the video! For colleting, I think I'm getting into collecting mugs. I love a good mug.
Yeah! I really like the top coat, you had recommended it to me when I was lamenting that Holo Taco super gloss was taken off the site! Thanks so much! I also collect eyeshadow palettes, i have a ton of (mostly star wars, but also old TMNT, a Jack Sparrow, The Crow and some Jeff Goldblum) action figures, Lego is also a huge thing for me. Select funko pops. Rocks. 😅😅
Kelli how is your hand positioned so that the finger you are painting is facing straight at you? It seems like a much easier way to nicely paint the nail. Hope it's not a stupid question. I am twisting and turning my hand and that go get is not laying flat by itself, haha! I would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you! 💜
I bought the shade shell we a little bit ago from an Australian website that stocks kb shimmer. It looks nothing like your swatches. Mine was like paste. Very very thick, like it was made from that putty sand. I've only had it for a few months but it's now also smelling horribly like chemicals. I did message the website and they checked all their stock and said that they all appeared to be fine and it was meant to be that way. I just needed to learn how to apply it better. Not happy. Really liked your swatch of it and was looking forward to wearing it.
Oh heck yes Isle Be There and Shell We? Collections: vintage cookbooks and women's magazines mainly 1950s-60s is my main collection. Milk glass mugs. NAIL POLISH!
Have you by chance compared Kbshimmer's Fillin Groovy Base Coat with Mooncat's Getting Even Nail Primer? I love Getting Even, but wondering if Fillin Groovy was comparable (especially since it's less than half the price).
These are all so beautiful and fun. I wish KBShimmer put better photos of the swatching on their website. Their photos are very underwhelming and never do the polishes justice. I like using their polishes too because they apply so stinkin' easy!
Honestly I feel like so many of their gorgeous polishes are impossible to capture without video haha!
@@KelliMarissa Yes. And, I know that their photos are not professionally done. While I appreciate and love to see how the polishes look on their customers, it would be a plus for KBS to show a professional swatch. Thank goodness they have you to review and show their true splendor. :D
I was just gonna say. The pics are ok when you click through, but the first image you see looks like it was taken with a potato.
I'm so glad you said this! I clicked through to buy some and literally did not recognize the polish pictured next to the array of stills from Kelli's shoot. Like....why do you suck so bad at that? It's literally your product, be better! I probably wouldn't have bought three of the 6 I added to my cart based on their imagery alone, so thank you Kelli and jeesh, terrible job KBS.
i wish all websites used gifs as the swatches so you can see the true potential of polishes like this
Dressed to Krill reminds me of my all time favorite nail polish shade from when I was a teenager back in the late 80s/early 90s.
Ooh yes it does have a bit of a retro vibe to it!
I totally agree that they have one of the most beginner friendly formulas! Their price point is incredibly competitive (though I do wish that their cremes were a bit lower priced than the special shades). Their iridescent shades are always top notch so I'm definitely most excited about What a Pearl Wants! I loved this video, Kelli! Your swatch and reviews have been a huge inspiration for my own nail polish content!
I'm so happy to hear that 🥰 I would love if they did a separate line of cremes like ILNP started, that would be amazing!
"prone to collecting" is a hilarious phrase 😂
sea-ing is believing and isle be there are gorgeous! might have to expand my own collection to try this brand someday
Haha I've definitely got a collector's mindset about everything 😂😂😂
Omg this is just my kind of collection! I am also not a pastel person. I like bold, vibrant colors! These are absolutely gorgeous!!
I love the color top you're wearing. So pretty on you! 😊
Kbshimmer never disappoints. Every formula is perfection!
I have to agree with you there, I have yet to find a polish from them that I don't love!
Dressed To Krill matches the azaleas in my front yard, so I definitely agree that they went with more nature inspired yet vibrant colors.
This is the kind of color I love to see in springtime! Brand should take note haha
I feel like KB Shimmer does glitter really well. They actually have two of my favorites that are spring beachy vibes, Salt Water Sassy and Starfishing for Compliments.
They definitely do! I'm always impressed with their glitter polishes!

This is my favorite collection so far this season. I was also obsessed with the very first LURID LACQUER collection too. Fairy, mermaid, ethereal... Sign me up 💜💚

Oh thank you so much!! I hope you have a great weekend too 🥰🥰
Oh I love these, different finishes are so much better than all the same in a collection, the colours are perfect for spring also
Starfish what a great idea, a very good collection

They're just so pretty and oceany!
Oh wow. I love all of these colors.
Same!!!
I ❤ bullet journaling! I’d love to see your stationery collection 😊
It's not often that I want every shade in a collection! Gorgeous! Also I Wish it was easier to get these Indy brands in Australia.
🎉
I knooow I wish nail polish was easier to ship internationally!!
This collection excites me! So many fun shades calling my name! That pearl shade 😮💨
Such a gorgeous flakie!!!
Lov anything ocean related and the blues, purples and purples are my favorite, too! I'd have loved to see super star over it comes in waves!
Ooh yeah I'll have to try that combo!!
That really is very oceanic! 🌊🐠
Totally! It's making me excited for summer 😂🏖️
The seaing is believing type formula is one of my faaavvoorites from kbshimmer, i have so many of them 😅
Same, I can never get enough 😂 I need every single variation lol
All of these polishes are so pretty. I am shocked that my favorite is the minty green cream! 💚
the colors are so pretty!! thank you so much for your swatch and review videos!! they are so nice to watch!!
Oh thank you Kaylee 🥰🥰🥰
@@KelliMarissa your welcome!😚☺
OMG i love all of these! You had me at Starfish for the topper. As one who mermaids, i need some of these. Also, your hair turned out good!
Oh thank you so much! I don't think I'll ever get over this starfish glitter LOL I love it!!
Love these especially the mint green one. All of them are so pretty! That last topper would look so neat over the mont green.
Ooh yeah I gotta try that combo!
KBShimmer always makes beautiful polishes. I just love this collection, every polish is just stunning!! I agree about the beautiful and easy application - makes it so easy for anyone.

@@KelliMarissa I don't really drink much anymore, so really it's just a collection at this point. AND I don't think I have taken shots out any of them. Lol
Isle be there definitely rocks in this set
This is a great collection and I do plan on ordering thanks to your wonderful job of showing and describing these swatches! 💜
Oh man, I love SO many of the polishes in this collection. Hopefully the ones I want will make it to an Aussie stockists (or maybe not, because my wallet cries every time I watch one of your videos!).
As for something I collect - I don’t actively collect them anymore, but I used to collect pencils. I have pencils from all around the world, from different ‘brands’ (Harry Potter, Warner Brothers, Disney, Hello Kitty etc). I have about 300 all up. I started collecting them when I was 8 after the school Principal let me pick something from his jar of fun items that he had for whenever kids were sent to his office for doing good work. It had a silver holographic covering.
My eldest niece collects pencils, so I’ve started to give her my collection. Every time I see her I give her one or two. She’s always so excited to see what the next ones will be.
Your make up is so pretty today!! I love KBShimmer! 😍
This collection is gorgeous and I love the color story!!!
Same, it's just making me so excited for warmth and sunshine!
I was shocked that Dressed to Krill was my favorite. It is just so beautiful. I absolutely love that one. I am buying this collection. This collection is simply stunning.
Honestly I can see why, it's such a stunning bright color!
Ooooh, I love this collection! ❤️
Right?! It's so good!
Isle Be There and What A Pearl Wants are my favorites. I love the flake in Isle Be There and it kinda also reminds me of sea glass windows. And like in your recent other swatch review I'm really enjoying the polishes like What A Pearl Wants that can be worn as a full coverage polish or a nice topper.
They really are stunning, I'm just so into iridescent flakies these days!
Loved this collection! I’m with you on the color story being great for spring and summer but the super star of the collection is the starfish (or as they call it now sea star) glitter! So cute. ❤
I def need to do nail art with it asap!!
Love this collection. Other than the bright pink that people can't get enough of, I don't have any like these in my collection. Mine doesn't quite match yours, but it's impressive enough to give that statement gravitas. There have been several great spring collections this year that don't have the typical approach, but this one excited me. I also love that you can see a difference between star glitters and the starfish option. I want to try What a Pearl Wants as a base for a dragonfly stamp. It Comes In Waves is great for this time of year. Isle be There shows off layers and depth! Shell We will look great in beach manis with some jellies. So. much. fun. P.S. Your eye makeup today is beautiful!
Love this colour story! Must have the Isle Be There option. So pretty!
They really did a great job with these!!
I love KB Shimmer polishes. I just placed an order on Wednesday, guess I am going to have to place another order for a few of these.
Ooh which other shades did you order?? They make too many gorgeous ones!
@KelliMarissa I bought Mistletoe You So and Chill Out.
The "Dressed to Krill" pink shade is giving me definite vibes of Cadillaquer's "Doing Her Own Thing" which is usually shortstocked. Could be a suitable dupe!
Definitely similar, although I don't think the KBS one is as neon!
Oh my gosh!!! I love KB shimmer soooo much! I haven’t been wearing nail polish much because I’ve become a bit of a bath addict and my nail polish always comes off in the hot water haha. Because of that I’ve definitely put myself on a buying ban but I think this collection has made me want to make sure I’m wearing nail polish more so I can justify buying this absolutely gorgeous shades! Especially shell we and isle be there
Ooh yeah I've been having baths more often myself haha! But I try to only do it when my nails are bare for that exact reason 😆
This whole collection is gorgeous 😍
Totally agree!!
What a pretty collection.
Totally agree!!
I bought one of their iridescent flaky polishes in a recent collection (one of the winter collections maybe?), and I am OBSESSED. However, I don’t know that I could tell it from some of their other iridescent flaky polishes.
Dont get me wrong, if it means they always have some sort of iridescent flaky polish available, I’m here for it. I’m just saying that I feel like if you have one or two of them, you really don’t need more.
I love the first polish and the peachy one especially. And the iridescent flakies of course.
Wow! I really like all those colors!!
These are STUNNING! Love all of them!!
Same!!!
Omg these are gorgeous!! I need at least 3 of these. 🐠
Right?? I just love the vibes 🏖️🦀
I love these!!! Dressed to krill is my favorite. They are so pretty, though! ❤ And your hair looks terrific!!! I've said it before, but I love when you put color on it! 😊
Oh gosh thank you 🥰🥰🥰
These are nice. I like the variety because I am partial to crème polishes and I’m seeing a lot of shimmers and glitters lately, which is fine, but I enjoy seeing a crème in the collection.
Gorgeous collection!
this whole collection is gorgeous!!
Totally agree!!
Holy hell seaing is believing it's stunning. Like a pearl!
Right?! I'm kinda obsessed!!
Ooo. So many pretty and tempting polishes in this collection. KBShimmer is definitely one of my favourite indie brands and one I have a pretty decent collection of. I don’t have many of their cream polishes though cause buy creams from indies, especially with conversion rates to Canada, can get pricey, but they do some gorgeous shades.
Totally understandable haha! The specialty polishes are definitely always worth it though 😆
I love everything about this collection. It's perfect. If I had to pick, Dressed to Krill and Current Affairs are my favorites.
Gorgeous picks imo!
These are all soooo pretty omg
Thank you for showing us!
Glad you like them too!
Gorgeous collection! I don’t currently own any KBShimmer polishes but this collection may just be the push I needed to get a few. lol
I have a large collection of refrigerator magnets. They are from places I have been. I didn’t plan this collection but it just sort of happened. 🤷🏽♀️ Now I think one day my fridge will either topple over or the door will fall off. 😂
I hope neither. 🤞🏽
Haha! That's definitely a cute collection idea!!
We collect pins too!
Beautiful colors 💜💙
Polishes are totally gorgeous❤❤❤
Agreed! I can't decide which to wear first! Maybe What a Pearl Wants 💅
They did our sign great. Cancer baby's.
This month is so rough with all good stuff coming out, oh my goodness. Love this KBShimmer collection, I recently tried them and ooh man are they great. Polished For Days is another indie brand and they're coming out with a spring collection next week that looks INSANELY good. Loved the video! For colleting, I think I'm getting into collecting mugs. I love a good mug.
Ooh I do love collecting mugs but I only ever drink iced drinks so I really need to stop collecting them LOL
I liked two of these from the website. Now I want all of them. How is it you make nail polish look soooooooo much better??
Haha honestly seeing them in video makes all the difference 😂😂
Shell we reminds me of beach sand:)for sure. I like it and really like current affairs the purple is nice too. I love cool or blue leaning purples
They made such pretty colors!!
It's funny that you mention fish scales - years ago, the cosmetics industry used fish scales to create iridescent colors.
Ooh that's a really interesting fact!
Isle be there reminds me of your favorite book: The rainbow fish!
Ooh yesss you are so right!! 🐟
Those starfish glitters would be so cute on Shell We?!
Ooh yes the perfect combo!!!
I love these colors!
I collect shot glasses of places I've been.
Ooh that's such a cute idea!!
Yeah! I really like the top coat, you had recommended it to me when I was lamenting that Holo Taco super gloss was taken off the site! Thanks so much!
I also collect eyeshadow palettes, i have a ton of (mostly star wars, but also old TMNT, a Jack Sparrow, The Crow and some Jeff Goldblum) action figures, Lego is also a huge thing for me. Select funko pops. Rocks. 😅😅
What a great review and thank you for introducing me to KBShimmer. I’m off to their website now … isn’t that the best comment about your review?
ohhh! they are all fantastic, but Dressed to Krill is gorgeous!
It's just so vibrant!
Kelli how is your hand positioned so that the finger you are painting is facing straight at you? It seems like a much easier way to nicely paint the nail. Hope it's not a stupid question. I am twisting and turning my hand and that go get is not laying flat by itself, haha! I would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you! 💜
What a pearl wants i have to have and Superstar cool star ⭐️ fish glitter ✨ tfs
I bought the shade shell we a little bit ago from an Australian website that stocks kb shimmer. It looks nothing like your swatches. Mine was like paste. Very very thick, like it was made from that putty sand. I've only had it for a few months but it's now also smelling horribly like chemicals. I did message the website and they checked all their stock and said that they all appeared to be fine and it was meant to be that way. I just needed to learn how to apply it better. Not happy. Really liked your swatch of it and was looking forward to wearing it.
Oh heck yes Isle Be There and Shell We?
Collections: vintage cookbooks and women's magazines mainly 1950s-60s is my main collection. Milk glass mugs. NAIL POLISH!
Haha oh yeah I think it's safe to assume we are all big fans of collecting nail polish here 😂 how can we resist all the gorgeous colors???
Have you by chance compared Kbshimmer's Fillin Groovy Base Coat with Mooncat's Getting Even Nail Primer? I love Getting Even, but wondering if Fillin Groovy was comparable (especially since it's less than half the price).
I haven't actually used the Mooncat one, honestly the Kbs one is probably the only ridge filler I've ever used haha!
