Sweater Weather: 2 coats plus top coat. Might as well start off with my absolute favorite. Sweater Weather is almost a holo metallic with a beautiful shimmer. It's such a rich emerald-y teal green. I love love love it. Below are photos shown indoor and in direct sun.

I Cat Even: 2 coats, but a careful one coater. KBShimmer loves cats and so do I! This polish is a blue-based purple (blurple) and has an excellent formula. I bet it would stamp. The holo flame is very linear and super gorgeous. Below are photos indoor and in direct sun.

So Cordial: 2 coats plus top coat. This is the red version of Sweater Weather and I just have to say YES. Although I'm not normally a red polish wearer, this rocks my socks. I think because it's a warm red, it works with my pale-ness. It has a metallic feel with lots of holo shimmer. Below are photos shown indoor and in direct sun.

Taupe Notch: 2 coats plus top coat. I'm a sucker for a sparkly neutral and I love that there is one in this new collection! Holo flecks and rose gold shimmer make this totally wearable but something special. I can see myself using this as a base for art but also to wear it on its own! Below are photos shown in indoor lighting and direct sun.

Yes Weekend!: 2 coats over 1 coat Eclipse.  This is more of a rainbow-based flake topper. It covered really well in two coats, but it would never be opaque on my longer nails. This one shifts from teal to purple to magenta to orange! Photos below are shown indoor and then various angles in the shade.

Flake Expectations: 2 coats over 1 coat Eclipse. This is the green and blue version of the toppers. It's a nod to woods and wintry nights. I see a variety of blues and greens in this topper. It went on nicely in two coats. Photos below are shown indoor and then various angles in the shade.

Fuchsia-Nista: 2 coats over 1 coat Eclipse. This is the purple, magenta, and orange flakie topper. You can really see the shifts straight on. By the way, how perfect is Eclipse?! Makes wearing flakes so much easier! Photos below are shown indoor and then various angles in the shade.

Love Thy Selfie: 2 coats over 1 coat Eclipse. WHOA! This is my favorite of the toppers. This one super glows. The indigo flake base is amazing. I'm like whaaaaaa. It shifts to purples, magenta, and orange. Photos below are shown indoor and then various angles in the shade.

I'll Be Chrome for Christmas: 2 coats plus top coat. Mmmm I love crellies with flakes! This white-based crelly is accented with red, gold, and green metallic flakes. It's definitely one of my favorites of the collection. Coverage is excellent! Below are photos shown in indoor light, shade, and with matte top coat.

On Cloud Wine: 3 coat plus top coat. 2 would be fine for shorter nails. This is a jelly-based polish but it covered super well on my nails. It's almost like a grape color and it's loaded with blue and purple shifting flakes. Photos below are shown indoor and then various angles in the shade, then matte.

Santa Claws: 2 coats plus top coat, magnetized on 2nd and top coat. Santa Claws is the 2018 charity polish. $4 from each bottle purchased on KBShimmer.com will go to the Terre Haute Humane Society, and one person who purchases this polish will have $250 donated to their local humane society. How do I explain this polish?! It first looks like a bronze polish with a light red shimmer and some holo flakes. Put a magnet on it, and boom, hello green! It's definitely Christmas colors without being in your face. Below are photos in indoor light, direct sun, indirect sun, and shade. I even see purple and yellow!

Space-ial Edition: 2 coats plus top coat, magnetized on 2nd and top coat. This is a blue-based magnetic polish with holo flakes and a strong shimmer. Apply a magnet and shades of blue and purple appear! The magnet makes what KBShimmer says "A Milky Way" appear and I totally see it! How cool is that? Below are photos in indoor lighting, direct sun, and shade.

  1. So Cordial is my favorite. Reminds me of a polish I used to wear when I was a teen, up until the bottle was emptied from me using it so much@ LOL

    1. It’s a great collection! But the blogger collection is a ridiculous amount of work. I know that the last one, she contacted the bloggers like 8 months ahead. So it’s even more work than a regular collection.
