KBShimmer Beach Break, Spring 2020

Press Sample

Helllooo. Today I am here with the newest KBShimmer collection for Spring 2020. Striaght from Christy the maker, "After the longest winter ever, the thought of Spring coming near makes me so happy! Warmer weather, blooming flowers, and no more snow are all reasons to celebrate the change of seasons. Normally, a vacation to somewhere tropical can help lift spirits until Spring is here and warmer weather dominates the forecast. This year stay home and let the KBShimmer Beach Break Collection take you to the tropics where the water is warm, and the drinks are cool. Come with us and enjoy the dream of sun, sand and vacation!"

Well, this is also the longest March ever, so I love seeing new pretties to distract me. Grab your coffee and let's check out the newest collection!

In addition to this polish collection, KBShimmer will be re-releasing the Lime Margarita Sugar Scrub, which originally was an exclusive for the September 2019 Polish Pickup. This will be limited edition, so don't delay on it if you loved it!



If you are new to my blog, then I'll explain that I have multiple sets of lighting. I start with OTT lighting, direct sun, indirect sun (sometimes), and then shade. I try as much as possible to give you all the lighting that I can.

Isle Drink to That: 2 coats. "A sparkly metallic shade full of holo bits and platinum flakes. A soft, rosy hue echoes pink sand beaches to make the perfect shade for sunny vacation days." This is one of my favorites of the collection. This is a super sparkly color and I love the shade of pink. This is one of the bling bling colors. When you remove it, you'll have sparkles everywhere. It's a perfect use of sugar scrub. This one is so gorgeous.

Knot Today: 3 coats plus top coat. "This features colorful shifting metallic flakes in pink, green, blue and gold floating within a creamy white base like passengers on a big white ship." I will always love these types of colors. When I use these colors, I do thin coats so the flakes can POP off the base. I also get more flakes that way. Love all the different colors.

Lovers Coral: 2 coats. "A soft, coral-leaning pink. See hues of bright pink, gold and green shift with different lighting and angles. In bright lighting, a rainbow of linear holo sparkle comes out to play." This one pulls much more mauve on me than coral. So I have a feeling the color may shift depending on your skin tone. The green shimmer is super pretty on this!

Mermaid in the Shade: 3 coats. This "is a shimmery multichrome that would make the perfect pairing for any mermaid. A pale, violet-purple base is boldly accented with a shimmer that shifts in a rainbow of hues. In the shade, see pops of pink, copper, gold, lime, blue and indigo. In brighter lighting, the gold and greens shine through. Extreme angles reveal a pop of deep purple." So much shiftiness! Sometimes multichromes have meh bases but this one is gorgeous. I love how it changes in every single lighting and angle. The shimmer is really pretty in this. It makes it special from the normal metallic multichrome.

Sun-Kissed: 3 coats, but 2 was fine. "Sun Kissed is a bright and bold multichrome featuring a sunny lemon-yellow giving way to softer hues of orange, gold and blush for a truly tropical polish." MY FAVORITE! This one is just amazingly awesome. I had tiny VNL on my index, so I did a third coat, but there was no difference. I am a huge fan of yellow and gold polish and this is like a 24 karat gold, which is such a bright sparkly yellow. I love the shifting shimmer too. Don't skip this one. It's so special.

The Tide Is Right: 3 coats, but like Sun Kissed, 2 was enough. "The Tide Is Right is a bold multichrome polish that celebrates the many shades of water. At first glance, a bold aqua color dances with a bright emerald shade. A change in lighting or angle reveals navy and royal hues that give way to indigo and purple." The name for this is perfect. It's like a multi-dimensional ocean. This one also shifts a lot.

Turtle-y Awesome: 2 coats were fine, but I did 3 for photos because of the sun shots. "This metallic shade is loaded with lime flakes that also flash gold. A scattering of holo glitters adds even more sparkle to this bold shade. Note: $2.00 from each bottle will be donated to The Sea Turtle Conservatory." I love that $2 go to turtles! I love green, so this is a super fun almost chartreuse color. It's a perfect summer color. So sparkly and blingy, similar to Isle Drink to That.

Water Relief: 3 thin coats plus top coat. "This pale mint crelly is loaded with color-shifting flakes that shift from a soft, orangey copper to bright gold and lime shades." My other favorite! I ended swatching with this polish so I could wear it! I wore it for like 4 days. The flakes are so colorful in pretty. The mint pulled pale blue on me but I just love it. I love the iridescent shifting flakes. Another one I would not miss out on.

Where My Beaches At?: 3 coats plus top coat. "Where My Beaches At is a bold orchid thermal polish loaded with flakies in green, pink, orange and gold. Extremely reactive, a light orchid quickly appears before fading into a pale violet and almost white." Cold is orchid, warm is lavender. This polish shifts very strongly; unfortunately, I was super warm, so I had to stick my hand in my freezer for the orchid to come out LOL. The orchid is super pretty but it simply did not want to stay. I tried to show different shifts of the polish and I guess I was so warm, it turned white and my nail line ws completely visible. Again, loving these shifting flakes.
