Band Geek Tips

Author: marta  //  Category: KBShimmer, OPI

Hope you are all having a lovely start to your Weekend :D

If you read the title of this post, don’t worry, I’m not here to give you tips on how to join a band, how to be a band geek etc ;) (I actually do not have one musically-inclined bone in my body.  I never played any musical instruments, though I do turn to music to lift my spirits.)

Today’s post is another look at KBShimmer Band Geek:

This Gorgeousness of a polish was sent to me by Katie from Harlow & Co and I cannot get enough of this deep black jelly based polish with silver, gold and copper shimmer! I really can’t!

I have swatched this polish as a full manicure, I have done a few accent nail manicures with this shade and now I tried a dark glitter tip look.

* * *

My base is one coat of OPI Samoan Sand.  I then sponged Band Geek to the top half of my nails.

I have done a few glitter tips before and always went for the lighter/brighter tip look… I really enjoyed the light-to-dark gradient with this one.

If you haven’t snatched up this bottle of KBShimmer, you may want to check out Harlow & Co ASAP TODAY!

Harlow & Co will have a restock of KBShimmer and Enchanted Polish TODAY, October 13 2012 at noon (12pm EST).  Make sure you scope out this shade AND all the other lovely polishes available ;)

Have you tried a dark glitter-tip manicure?

Thoughts on this blingtastic shade? Do you love it as much as I do?

THANK YOU FOR READING!

    It would be a sin not to use that polish again! (I don’t believe in sins, but sometimes I express myself as a normal person would)
    I don’t really recall me using darker glitter on my tips, but I did just recently do a orange/black gradient (black on the tips) and layered intense glitter over it. It kinda counts :D D

      LOL… Oh Nusa, you totally made me laugh out loud.
      I do like the sponged darker tips (and your glitter addition was amazing) :D

    This manicure is gorgeous and Band Geek is stunning! I was unable to resist – I ordered my own bottle. Thank you for introducing me to a lovely new polish. :)

      yaaay! Truly, you will love this shade… In fact, if you wear it on its own I would suggest layering it over a black base (just so you save on this gorgeous glitter ;) )… that is what I have been doing… trying to make this bottle last a long way ;)

  • emlangille

    This is gorgeous & I love how it looks sponged on! I will have to try with the KBShimmer’s I have now!

    Woooow I love this mani ! It is a little like a zombie manicure (I don’t know why it makes me thinkink of that ! :o ) But it is so nice ! And it it funny because this kind of glitter tip mani is on my Halloween To-do list ! ^^

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

      Yaay! You will love this look when you get around to creating your own version of it :D
      It does have that dusty/zombie-ish-ness to it :D

  • Jamie Willett

    Wow, such a gorgeous mani! Samoan Sand is such a lovely neutral on you. I love the smokey glitteriness of Band Geek!

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

      Samoan Sand, I will admit, had to grow on me… it is slightly ‘off’against my skintone… but now I really do love it ;)
      Glad you like this look

    This is nice and simple, but still looks very unique thanks to Band Geek. I like glitter on the tips, I am not a huge fan of pure glitter bombs, but I still like them! I am still looking for my favourite “signature” glitter polish. (I want a gold version of OPI Crown Me Already)

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

      I have a few glitter bombs in my collection (one post comming soon) with glitter tips… I enjoy them in moderation.
      This is one is really special because of the jelly base :D

    KB polishes are so pretty, and this one is one of my favorites. I love the gradient!

      I don’t have a lot of glitter shades, but this one definitely IS special
