KBShimmer Winter 2012 Collection, Part 1 - The Blues, Swatch and Review

Hi everyone!!
I'm happy to be back! As many of you know, I've been living through a terrible, life altering experience the last 2 weeks. My city was hit very badly by Hurricane Sandy and thankfully my family and home were spared any harm, but seeing my home town (and so many others) destroyed and so so many neighbors lose everything...well...to say it's hard to deal with is an understatement.
I don't want to dwell on that right now, I want to get back to NAIL POLISH which seems so shallow of me while so many so near me are in dire straights. But we DO need to keep going... I know I will continue to help my neighbors get their lives back on track too. Thank you so much for all the thoughts and well wishes to me, my family and those affected by the storm. It really does mean a lot!!

There are 9 beauties in this collection and I have far too many photos for just one (or 2 posts) so I will break this into THREE posts. This first one will show you the two blues from the winter collection. I sure do have a weakness for blues...and find they are perfect for any season, but especially winter!

Here's all the links you need to follow and shop!!

Some important info before you shop: "Due to price increases with a few of my suppliers, polishes will be $8.75 per bottle starting 11/15. This collection includes a polish for charity, Wrappers Delight that will sell for $10.00. Please note that all polishes in the holiday collection will include a new, flat style brush."

 From their description "Snow Way - A sky blue base with white "snow" glitters and tiny iridescent glitters that flash blue complete my attempt to mimic a winters day." I used 3 coats here and the only trouble I had was getting the polish to make clean edges due to the large hexes..but that is fairly standard with glitters like this. Also, it can get thick on the nails (due to 3 coats, I will try 2 thick coats next time and see how that compares) I ADORE this blue. I adore white glitters. This is my clear favorite of the collection even though they are all amazing!





 From their description: "Hex Appeal - A navy jelly base with magenta, silver and blue hex glitters. Tiny micro bar glitters add a bit of pop. This one reminds me of New Years Eve and confetti floating in Times Square." I have on 2 coats with HK Girl top coat. Great coverage, easy application, super pretty on the nail!! Love the depth that the blue jelly gives.





 Be well everyone!! 
xo, Victoria

  6. It's not selfish at all to want to return to some sense of normalcy after a disaster, tragedy, huge change, etc. It's human and normal and we all do it. Our routines are comforting especially when we're surrounded by chaos.

    These polishes are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!

    2. You're very welcome. It's the least I could do after recently using one of your manicures as inspiration for my own although mine is far from your level of perfection. One day, maybe. :)
