KBShimmer - Hex Appeal, Sugar Plum Faerie, & Shipwreck

Hey guys!

Sorry I've been neglecting the blog a bit lately. I've been using Instagram alot, and I guess it's made me kinda spoiled because it's so much easier & faster to post photos on there. I promise I will continue to post on here at least once a week, but to see more consistent posting you can follow me on Instagram @NailsAndAWestie (click here to be taken directly to the desktop version of my page). 

Today I have some incredibly awesome KBShimmer polishes to show you. Hope you enjoy!

And as always - click on any pic to enlarge :)



Hex Appeal is a royal blue jelly with hexes of various sizes & colors including silver, pink, blue, & purple, with tiny silver bars, and loads of holographic micro glitters throughout. This polish is breathtakingly beautiful! Here is 3 coats of Hex Appeal with 2 coats of topcoat.

Sugar Plum Faerie is a purple crelly (creme/jelly) with hexes of various sizes & colors including pink, holographic green, purple, & blue, with lots of holographic micro glitter throughout. The color combos in this are simply to die for! Here is 3 coats of Sugar Plum Faerie with 2 coats of topcoat.

Shipwreck is a slightly teal leaning blue jelly filled with hexes of various sizes & colors including green, holographic yellow, blue, & purple, with teeny tiny copper bars (they are in fact so small, that to the naked eye they just appear as dots; it wasn't until I looked at my macro shot that I saw they were indeed bars). This one was a bit sheer, so I ended up doing 4 coats to get it opaque. I'm glad I wore it alone though, I absolutely love the dimension it gives to the polish! Here is 4 coats of Shipwreck topped with 1 coat of topcoat.

I purchased these from the KBShimmer website for $8.75 each.

Dandy Nails - Float On

Float On has tiny matte hexes of white, pink, blue, & purple, with medium sized satin lavender hexes, all in a clear base. I absolutely love the color combo on this one! Application was good, but it did take 4 coats to reach opacity. I was determined to wear this one on it's own, and in the end it was well worth it!

This is 4 coats of Float On, with 1 coat of topcoat.

I purchased this from the Dandy Nails Etsy shop for $8.

Amy's Nail Boutique - Roxy

Roxy is a matte glitter that's loaded with tiny coral-ish pink and purple hexes in a clear base. I chose to wear this 3 coats on it's own, but it could easily be worn over a base color. Application was good, I used a combo of dabbing & regular brush strokes. Overall, I like this polish, but the color isn't "me", so I'm letting it go - it's currently up for grabs in my blog sale.

This is 3 coats of Roxy, with 2 coats of topcoat.

I purchased this from the Amy's Nail Boutique Etsy store for $4.50.

Pahlish - My Oblivion

My Oblivion is a blue jelly loaded with gold holographic hexes of various sizes & bars. For those of you who aren't fans of bar glitter, don't fret, the hexes far out number the bars! I wasn't sure if I was gonna like this one on.. but I ended up absolutely loving it! Application was good, I used a combination of dabbing & regular brush strokes. The combination of the blue & gold makes it look teal, & the holographic glitters are super sparkly, bottom line - this polish is fantastic!


This is 3 coats of My Oblivion with 1 coat of topcoat.

Cult Nails Spontaneous & KBShimmer Clown Puke

Cult Nails Spontaneous is a deep purple creme with tiny violet glitters throughout. Application was smooth & easy. Being a lover of all things purple, this was an automatic winner for me!

This is 2 coats of Spontaneous with 1 coat of (bubbly) topcoat.

KBShimmer Clown Puke is a multi colored glitter in a clear base. I have to admit I was kinda bummed out by this one. Other pics I had seen online looked more boldly colored than the bottle I received (which seems to have an overdose of gold glitter in it).. but I guess that's just to be expected with some indies.

This is 2 dabbed coats of Clown Puke over Cult Nails Spontaneous, with 2 coats of topcoat.

Mattified:

I purchased Spontaneous from the Cult Nails website for $12, and Clown Puke from the KBShimmer website for $8.75.
