Ego Boosts Soap
Cost and Cap: $4, 33 US, 5 UK
Description: This soap is swirled  with yellow and green, inspired by the daffodil fields that inspired the polish. Each soap will look different because of the swirling. The soap is unscented, if you have any allergies or scent sensitivities. I have attached a photo of the full ingredient list. I do prefer scented soaps, but I understand many will appreciate this.

Alter Ego Daffodils Peek Thru The Leaves: 2 coats.
Cost & Cap: $9, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: Daffodil Fields.
Thoughts: This is a rich emerald green shimmer base with a bit of holo and some gold flakes. It's super shimmery and I do love a green polish. The flakes are really pretty in this and laid flat.

Precarious Existence: 3 coats plus top coat. 
Cost & Cap: $12, 75 US, 15 UK.
Inspiration & Color Description: Sunny Yellow to peach-toned solar crelly with green, purple, orange, and pink glitter. Inspired by the Day of the Triffids. The pale yellow transitions to a peachy nude in direct UV light.
Thoughts: What a fun polish! This reminds me of when indies first came out. The solar aspect is very subtle, so grab this for the yellow base and the fun glitters! This reminds me of funfetti cake.

KBShimmer
February 2020 Polish Pickup Offerings: Flora and Fauna

Name:Freesia Sugar Scrub
Cost and Cap: $10, no cap.
Scent: "There is something about freesia that just makes me smile. Seeing that array of happy hues in any arrangement sparks pure joy, while the bright scent brings to mind the spring season - and one of my favorite body sprays from the 90’s!  KBShimmer Freesia sugar scrub starts with that distinctly bright and floral freesia note.  Hints of muguet and white musk deepen the tone and are accented by the crisp white color of the scrub, which is also swirled with ribbons of purple and pink. If you are longing for warmer weather, you don't want to miss this scrub! It's sure to bring a little springtime to your bathroom any time of the year."
Thoughts: This is exactly as it sounds above! It's floral and fresh and reminds me of the BBW scent from years ago. I love the colors in this scrub as well.

Name: KBShimmer Let It Beetle: 2 coats plus top coat.
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: "True color-lovers bug out over beetles! Like multichrome oil slicks, beetles can be twins with some of your favorite shifty polishes. For the February Flora and Fauna theme, KBShimmer fell in love with the multichromatic Cetonia aurata beetle, or rose chafer beetle.  From reds to gold to bright greens and deep blues, these beetles show off a rainbow of hues. Let It Beetle is inspire by these scarab beauties. Starting with a bright gold shimmer, this sparkly shade quickly shifts to a bold green.  Hues of blue and aqua dance on the edges and in some lighting, the gold gives you subtle hints of soft pink."
Thoughts: Holy cow this is a sparkly green shifter! The blue is a bit more subtle and only in extreme angles but the shimmer is almost like a rainbow. So pretty! There's a tiny bit of VNL in the sun, but it wasn't noticeable in person.

The Final Sacrifice: 2 coats.
Cost & Cap: $13, Cap TBD.
Inspiration & Color Description: Inspired by Florence and the Machine's "Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)", and the cover art for the album 'Lungs'. This is "The Final Sacrifice", a blue-leaning green base (although not quite teal) filled with multichrome and Aurora shimmer that shifts red/gold/green and linear holographic pigment.
Thoughts: Ack, this is so pretty! The copper aurora shimmer is stunning in the blue base It's so shifty and pretty! It's a great formula too--totally opaque in two coats. This is very unique and I love it!

This is a Gift: 1 coats over The Final Sacrifice
Cost & Cap: $11, Cap TBD.
Inspiration & Color Description: Inspired by the "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" music video from Florence and the Machine, 'This is a Gift' is a flakie topper filled with iridescent flakes that shift between green, blue, and purple, and holographic microflakes
Thoughts: This is part of the IPU topper party and it's so pretty. It will be gorgeous over any dark creme, but I love it paired with The Final Sacrifice. The larger flakes are super shifty and really gorgeous.

Inspiration & Color Description: "A stunning, super shifty multichrome that flashes green-blue-purple-yellow (yellow at extreme angles). We’ve filled it with similar shifting UCC flakies and holographic particles"
Thoughts: I put this back on because it's so amazing. I'm currently wearing this now! I love how there's the shifting base, the shifting flakes, and the holo. Enjoy all the photos. This one is such a winner so I would not miss out on it.
