So instead of my typical press release regurgitating, I've decided to limit my collection scoop news on the blog to those collections that I find truly interesting (for better or for worse) and also to add a little commentary as I go. Hopefully this will make nail polish news more fun for you and more fun for me too! :) First up...KBShimmer just announced the most massive summer collection in recorded history. :P This three part set includes a whopping 28 polishes! Christy Rose has been busy to say the least!
Part 1 includes the Tropical Creams and Toppers. The bottle shots look like pastel neons and take me immediately to the beach. Two of the colors, Bahama Drama and Leggo My Mango, look pretty similar. I'm most excited for In Yacht Water (how clever is that name!), For Sail By Owner (surprise, I'm looking forward to a green), and Dust in the Bottle. I'm hoping that one is China Glaze Fairy Dust-esque.
Part 2 includes nine Tropical Glitters. We be Jammin' is my fave so far. It's a bright magenta with a blue shimmer and holo sparkle. That shouldn't be a surprise since I always go for things that are remotely berry in color. I can tell from that pic that Shell Shock won't look good on me. A sheer-y, crelly, peachy-nude filled with glitter doesn't sound pretty...but I'm sure Christy knows what she's doing so I'll reserve judgement!
And last but not least, Part 3 is comprised of 10 Ultra-Chrome and Metallic Flakies. These can be layered over a creme or full-coverage in 2-3 coats. We've seen a lot of these lately (did you see my ILNP macro shots here?) but I'm still looking forward to them. Look on the Nightside has my eye the most. Four of them are silver flakes, each of difference sizes. In my pic below, they're listed in order from left to right, fine to chunky. I'm curious to see if they're different enough to own them all.
All 28 shades should be available on April 15, 2015 at kbshimmer.com, amazon.com and select salons and retailers. Outside the U.S., visit www.harlowandco.org. Creme formulas are $7.50, glitters and toppers are $8.75 and the flakes will be $10.75.
These polishes are on the way to me. I'll probably swatch some and use others in nail art. What do you think? Have any favorites?
