KBShimmer Up & Autumn Collection for Fall 2019, Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hello everyone! I have a HUGE post for you today featuring the new KBShimmer Up and Autumn, which releases October 11th, which is this Friday. This 12-piece collection is loaded with holos, thermals, flakes, and really everything. There is definitely something for everyone in this collection and I love the variety and quality. Let's get to it since there's so many colors!

From Christy, the maker behind KBShimmer, "Autumn is the perfect time of year for me. It’s cool enough to break out my flannels and sweaters, yet just warm enough that sitting near a bonfire keeps the chill away without turning my s’mores chocolate into a melted mess before I’m ready to make my treats. The leaves put on the most majestic show of vibrant color. Pumpkins, apples and changing leaves are celebrated with festivals, while kids enjoy the sunshine and try to forget that school is in session.  Join KBShimmer this October as we celebrate all things autumn with our 12-piece Up & Autumn Collection."

My photos are in OTT lighting, direct sun, and shade!

All Fired Up: 3 coats plus top coat. "A black to pale gray thermal polish with color-shifting metallic flakes in hues of burning red to sizzling orange, to warm yellow. Accented by a magical red to green shimmer." Of course I swatched these on a warmer day, but I love the shimmer and shifts and how they pop off that pale base. Isn't it gorgeous!?

Apple-y Ever After: 2 coats plus top coat. I probably should have done three coats. "Our Apple-y Ever After tri-thermal polish is a nod to this classic fall treat. A rich brown hue warms into a bright red color, then gives way to a Granny-Smith-apple-green. Micro holo glitters complete this delicious shade." When I saw this, I immediately new it was caramel apple inspired. Love the shifts!

Clothes Minded: 3 coats plus top coat, then matte. "A creamy pale tan base sets off small and extra small glitters in blue, purple, copper and brown." The base is such a unique color and I like that it's not the typical white. It makes it more wearable and definitely gives me wool sweater feels.

Free Fallin': 3 thin coats plus top coat. You will be fine with two coats, but I love doing super thin coats for polishes with flakes so the flakes pop. "A deep auburn base sets off an array of iridescent flakes that shift from hues of red to orange to gold."  I'm going to be so redundant saying this is one of my favorites, but wow, it is! The flakes are so beautiful against the red base. It's like leaves fell on my nails.

Having a Gourd Time: 2 coats plus top coat. "A deep olive green reminiscent of gourds. A strong shimmer shifts between red, orange, gold and green for a polish that will give you all the fall feels."  I love moody greens like this and the shimmer shifts SO much. I love how strong the shimmer is too. This is definitely one of my favorites!

If You've Got It, Haunt It: 2 coats plus top coat, but one coat is all you need. "A deepened navy polish that subtly shifts to shades of purple and black, with a linear holo accent." This is such a rich blue holo and definitely will work for a ghostly night sky manicure! No staining for me to report, but I only wore it for 5 minutes.

Raking It In: 2 coats over 1 coat of Eclipse, then matte. " Brightly-colored iridescent flakes dance in a clear base, shifting from hues of red, orange, gold, green, and at extreme angles, aqua." You know I'm obsessed with this. I wanted to show it in all its glory over black and it's just so shifty. I will be reaching for this a TON. Great coverage!

Spice Things Up: 2 coats plus top coat. "A warm golden hue shifts quickly into orange, while a rich coppery red tone completes this shade’s fall vibe.  Best in 2-3 coats, 1-2 coats over black will deepen this shade showing off more auburn hues." I chose to do this on its own and it's so vibrant! I totally get pumpkin spice vibes and I love that golden hue. Is this is a coral, a pink, an orange? Who knows!! It's awesome.

Trend Sweater: 2 coats plus top coat. "Trend Sweater is a unique multichrome that starts out as a vibrant fuchsia shade. As angles and light shift, hues of rose and lavender fade into an almost golden coppery pink. Micro holo flakes complete this trendy polish look." This is another super shift polish and I love when the gold appears. That base fuchsia is soooo pretty and it's bright, yet perfectly autumn.

Twist and Stout: 2 coats plus top coat. "A deepened brown linear holo inspired by the color of porters, so deep in tone that it almost appears black in some lighting."  When I think of stout, I totally think of a deep chocolate and this color is so perfect for it. I love when colors line up with their names! The gold shimmer is really pretty.

Up and Autumn: 2 coats but only one coat needed. "Up And Autumn is a warm dusty cedar color cream. This not-quite-red shade is the ideal fall color with its coral and brick tones." I loooove this color! I actually put it on my 3 year old niece since the one coat formula made it dry super quick. It's just a super flattering shade of coral and I'm here for it.

Vested Interest: 2 coats plus top coat. "Vested Interest is a multichrome shade that shifts between shades of green, teal and blue. Holo glow flakes add a touch of sparkle to this vest-inspired shade." I swear this color changes with every movement. I love the addition of the holo flakes--it just steps it up a notch. Gorgeous!
