KBShimmer Fall 2017 Blogger Collaboration Collection, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Grab yourself a coffee, apple cider, hot cocoa, whatever you enjoy and sit back and enjoy my swatches and thoughts on the upcoming KBShimmer Fall 2017 collection. This one is special as it is a blogger collaboration! I was so honored to be a part of this collection. 12 different ladies, ideas, finishes, and we all came together for a fun and cohesive collection! So enjoy and let me know which ones you plan on grabbing this Friday, October 13!


KBShimmer Fall 2017 Blogger Collaboration Collection


Just look at these all together on their leaves. Total fall vibes. 


KBShimmer Fall 2017 Blogger Collaboration Collection

High-rise to the Occasion: 2 coats plus top coat. I'm starting with my collaboration polish, that I re-swatched because why not?! You can see my full inspiration HERE as well as matte and sun photos. It's a light grey crelly (many are photographing this as white, but please note, it is definitely grey) with rainbow metallic flakes and a violet shimmer. Thank you Christy for making my polish come to fruition.

Better Lake Than Never: 2 coats plus top coat. This is a rich teal blue (think of the ocean or a lake!) with that KBShimmer holo flake shimmer and a turquoise shimmer. It's lovely and glows! No staining to report! This was created with Delishious Nails.

Espresso Yourself: 2 coats plus top coat. I love this color so so much! Brown doesn't get enough love. This is an espresso base with copper and gold microglitter. This was created with LacquerLoon.

A little blurry, but it shows off the holo!

I Don't Want No Shrubs: 2 coats plus top coat. Hello Pink! This might seem like it isn't for fall, but I've already seen holiday collections and hot pink is in! This is very much on trend! It's so pretty on. I love the golden flakes and shimmer. This was created with My Nail Polish Obsession.

Lady and the Vamp: 2 coats plus top coat. This is in the mega flame finish! It's so lush. It also dried fairly smooth! It's a gorgeous eggplant purple. Created with Cosmetic Sanctuary.

Let's Fang Out: 2 coats. This is the first of two cremes. It's almost like a partner to Lady and the Vamp. It's a plum creme and I bet it stamps! Created with Sam Nailed It.

Northern Frights: 2 coats plus top coat.  This is a multichrome polish with the holo flake shimmer. The base is emerald green, which you can see in my lighting below. But this baby shifts to purple and blue! Created with Beauty Judy.

Oh My Gourd: 2 coats. Oh my gourd is right! This is amazing! The other creme in this collection is what butterscotch and pumpkin spice lattes are made of! This is 1 of the 2 contributions from Christy behind KBShimmer.

Olive or Twist: 2 coats plus top coat. Another favorite of mine! This shade of green is just beautiful. The olive base with holo flake shimmer and gold shimmer is just the most amazing combo. Created with Nail It Lovely.

Peach for the Sky: 2 coats plus top coat. This is another departure for fall and it's awesome. A sky blue with peach copper shimmer, it's so pretty. Created with Aricedotcom.

Pearls Gone Wild: 3 coats plus top coat. I bet you could get away with 2 coats, but my index required 3. Ooooooomph, this one! It's probably the sparkliest polish of the collection! I adore it! That copper red shimmer makes this polish everything! Created with McPolish.

Pun-King Spice Latte: 2 coats plus top coat. This is a terracotta shade with copper shimmer. The shimmer isn't as vibrant as in Peach for the Sky, but it's there! Orange is perfect for fall! Created with Peachy Polish.

#squadghouls: 3 coats plus top coat, then matte top coat. This is an olive jelly base with those amazing shifting iridescent glitters. The way I apply these is that I do two coats "normally" and then a third coat where I swipe off most of the base and then add extra glitters! It is definitely olive green. My first picture just doesn't want to show it. Created with Miss Holly Berries.

Here we go outside. You can see it is very clearly olive-based. And the glitters very clearly shift!

Now these type of polishes are amazing matte. Isn't it just awesome!? I already used this as a base for some art coming up :)

Stop and Smell the Rose: 2 coats. This is the second contribution from Christy. It's actually the only linear holo too! It's a great rose colored holo and it is very holo. The sun came out so I added that for you!

I have a lot of favorites. Let's see if I can narrow it down? High-rise to the Occasion (obviously), Oh My Gourd, Espresso Yourself, Olive or Twist, #squadghouls, I Don't Want No Shrubs, and Pearls Gone Wild are my probably my most favorites (yes, that was half the collection lol). But please don't make me choose! This is such a beautifully curated collection and I love how all our of ideas ended up working together!

These are available THIS FRIDAY, on 10/13, for $9.25 each. Also! This collection will be entirely 5 free as well. Which ones do you plan on grabbing?
