KB Shimmer 2012 Fall/Winter Collection

Author: marta  //  Category: KBShimmer

Today I am fortunate enough to show you four of the Fall 2012 KBShimmer shades.  These were kindly sent my way by Katie from Harlow & Co AND they will be available for sale TOMORROW (September 1, 2012) through her website HERE! ;)

* * * * *

KBShimmer’s description of Don’t Teal Anyone is: “A deep teal base with, gold, teal blue, and fuchsia hexes in several sizes, and micro fuchsia bars”:

(two coats with Essie Good to Go topcoat)

I love how the glitter glistens in this medium toned teal.  This shade has a level of sophistication despite the fact that it is bright, glittery and playful.

* * * * *

KBShimmer’s description of No Whine Left is: “A deep plum color with blue, fuchsia, and purple hex glitters in several sizes. The glitters in this polish seem to pop out in different lights, adding a fun depth to it”:

(two coats with Essie Good to Go topcoat)

This polish has me all googly-eyed! I love the eggplant jelly base, and the turquoise glitter gives this polish sooo much dimension.  I will add that the surface of my nail was smooth, but for some reason on these photos it looks a little ‘bumpy’? Not too sure why, but I would be the first to complain if the polish felt gritty… and it honestly doesn’t.

(just look at them sparkles! LOOOOVE)

* * * * *

KBShimmer’s description of Witch Way? is: “A deep grape color is full of holographic glitters”:

(two coats with Essie Good to Go topcoat)

I like the base jelly-deep-plum shade of this polish.  The holographic glitter adds a ‘galaxy’ like feeling.

And because my light-box kills the holo effect, I took my nails outdoors ;)

(direct sunlight)

* * * * *

Again, I saved the best for last… This is the showstopper for me ;)

KBShimmer’s description of Oh Splat! is: “A white jelly polish loaded with the 6 rainbow colors in many different sizes”:

(one coat of white polish – ONE coat of Oh Splat!)

I am almost tempted to stay silent and let the photos do the talking ;) but maybe if I can stop jumping up and down, I will be able to collect my thoughts and put together a coherent thought…

… Here it goes: I’m not that good at jelly sandwiches, and with this polish I achieve the perfect white jelly sandwich look with very little effort.  I love the shades of glitter, their sizes, I just ADORE this one!

(it is okay to stare… ;) )

* * * * *

These, as well as the rest of the KBShimmer Fall/Winter 2012 collection will be available on Harlow & Co tomorrow ;) Happy shopping! :D

    I felt in love with mo whine left! Such a beauty!

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Hi Nailart-Addict,
      It is a lovely shade AND it really does dry smooth and flat (unlike what looks like bumps on my swatches)… plus I love the name ;)

    OMG I need Oh Splat , that is such a fun polish, great swatches Marta :D x

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Hi Joanne Proctor,
      Thank you! That is my favourite from this collection also :)

  • coraline humbert

    witch way is…<3 wahou<3

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Hi caroline humbert,
      it is interesting what we gravitate towards… that shade was probably my least favourite (if I had to create a hierarchy). I had been craving a white base glitter … and so OH Splat! became my fave from this collection ;)

  • Lou is Perfectly Polished

    I cannot tell you how much I love teal. I dont ten to wear too many glitters but I love this range. As always you have done a fantastic job of swatching them :) xx

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Hi Lou is Perfectly Polished,
      I have a special spot for teals in my heart also :) I actually (as you will see next week) wore my favourite teal with accent glitter nails of “don’t teal anyone”… that way I had some glitter but wasn’t overpowered by it ;)
      Thank you! *hugs*

  • Karen Lenz

    Oh man I love these Marta! I espically love Witch way, OH Splat (which reminds me of Pretty & POlished Jawbreaker) and Don’t Teal Anyone. I am very fond of the glitter suspended in jelly look, and they all look fabolous on you!

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Hi Karen Lenz,
      I agree… Oh Splat! is definitely similar to Jawbreaker and was able to squish that lemming for me ;)
      I am new to loving these types of polishes but I fell hard with this collection… I love em :)

  • Monica

    Squeeee!!! I must have all the KBShimmers!!! :D

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Hi Monica,
      LOL, your comment made me smile. I started my love for “indie”/glitter shades just recently and KB Shimmers played a HUGE role in falling in love with this type of nailpolish :D

  • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

    Hi shiyuu,
    AGREED! ;) That is my favourite from this collection also! :D

  • Anya_WackyLaki

    All so beautiful! Love :)

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Hi Anya_WackyLaki,
      Thank you! These glitter/base combos are quite lovely

  • Pink Pamalamma

    Love love love!! I’m a total teal-a-holic so I’m really diggin’ the first two…and Splat, well, it’s simply amazing!!!

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      ME TOO!!! The teal has a base that can simply be described as WOW ;) I’m itchint to wear it again asap :D

  • http://twitter.com/NusaPavlic Nuša

    I am SO digging glittery polishes lately, with all those “peel off” base coats the removal is just heaven! And I’m a sucker for jelly sandwiches (already have two on my blog), so these, being a jelly sandwich in a bottle, are amazing! Oh Splat is gorgeous indeed, but I’m actually loving Witch Way more. Don’t Teal Anyone is equally stunning ;) Ahhh my eyes are in heaven right now :)

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      I thought I wasn’t all that into the glitters but I’m slowly having to recant my words.
      I agree… I love the look of a jelly sandwich but I am HORRIBLE at creating one myself… so these glitter bottles are my substitute ;) my cheat sheet lol.
      Don’t Teal Anyone is definitely a gorgeous base polish

  • carolingq

    This collection is one of my favorites for fall/winter this year, Don’t Teal Anyone and Oh Splat are special. Great swatches Marta.

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Agreed! Those two are my favourites also.
      Thank you :D Your positive feedback always makes my day

  • http://polishedindulgence.blogspot.com Carmela

    You’d think I’d be glitter’d out by now but seeing Don’t Teal Anyone and Oh Splat definitely changes things! :D Awesome swatches!

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      I thought I was never into glitter… but this collection TRULY changed my opinion BIG TIME … I have since purchased three more glitter shades ! *yikes… I know*

  • Hanna
