KBShimmer Spring 2014 - The Glitters - Swatches and Review

*This product is Cruelty Free 


I nearly can't contain my excitement when Christy launches her new collections because I know she's going to knock it out of the park again and she doesn't disappoint with her Spring 2014 Collection. There are CREMES!!! And holos. And glitter crellies. And glitter toppers.

LAUNCHING MARCH 14, 2014






Today, I have The Glitters to show you. To see the Cremes and Holos click here.

KBShimmer Spring 2014
The Glitters



Continued after the jump...




There are four glitter crellies, one glitter jelly and one clear-based glitter topper in this collection and I have those for you today.

First up, the clear-based glitter topper: Rush Flower Traffic. This one is described as "a metallic glitter top coat with fuchsia, gold, green, sapphire, and aqua glitters in hex and dot glitters." Yep, that about sums it up! The glitters are all perfectly suspended in the base and I had no issues at all with formula or application. Here, I'm showing you two light coats over Life Rose On and Chick Me Out (both of which I'll be showing you soon when I show you The Cremes) and one coat of Clearly on Top top coat.

The glitter jelly is called Belle of the Mall and it's a sparkling, squishy bottle of goodness. It's described as a "coral toned pink polish loaded with holographic silver hexes in various sizes." It's almost a neon! No issues with formula or application at all. Two coats and one coat of Clearly on Top top coat for the photos.

And now the glitter crellies.

Laugh Myself Lily is described as a "muted jade crelly with holographic hexes in gold, pink, sliver, lavender and blue and pink and light aqua circle glitters." This one is more sheer to allow the glitters to shine through so I've used 3 light coats and one coat of Clearly on Top top coat for the photos. No issues to report. All the glitters came out nicely and spread evenly on the nail.

Full Bloom Ahead is described as a "white based polish loaded with small, medium and large hex glitters in fuchsia, navy, teal, gold and orange." The colors in this one just scream SPRING! Easy formula, no issues at all. I used 2 coats of this one but 3 light coats is recommended.

Daisy About You is a pale green crelly with neon green hex glitters and purple and lavender hexes with large lavender daisy glitters. Green and purple have long been one of my favorite color combos and this one is just gorgeous. No issues with formula at all and I didn't even have to fish out the daisy glitters! But because of my high arch, I did try to place them so they didn't sit up off of the curve of my nail. I used 3 light coats and one coat of Clearly on Top top coat for the photos.

And finally, Make My Gray. This one is a pale grey with turquoise, gunmetal, pale aqua and coral glitters. I really LOVE the coral glitters in this one paired with the pale grey base. It's a gorgeous combo. No issues with formula or application with this one either. I used 2 coats and one coat of Clearly on Top top coat but I recommend 3 light coats and maybe 2 coats of top coat for best results.

What are your must haves so far? My favorite, as I'm sure you guessed by all the extra photos, is Belle of the Mall!

And that's just the beginning! Soon I will have The Holos and The Cremes for you so Go Nowhere!
