Polish Pickup for April is Celebrate! Let's celebrate all the things! Let's celebrate that as of this week, I am no longer a doctoral student but a doctoral candidate! Yay! You become that once you finished coursework. I took a full time course load since August 2023, including summer, so I was able to focus all my energy on that, and now I am focusing on my dissertation! YAY. Waiting for confirmation of my defense date, but it is sooner than I want to believe! Anyway, back to PPU, I have a celebration on my nails!
KBShimmer Restoration Drops Nail Polish Thinner – No Cap - $8.50
Over time nail polish can get thick and stringy. This is due to the evaporation of Butyl Acetate and Ethyl Acetate, two of the main ingredients in all nail polishes that help the polish to dry on your nails. To restore thick polish, use our KBShimmer polish thinner, Restoration Drops. For slightly thickened polish, start with 2-3 drops, shake, then check the consistency. For dried out or severely thickened polish, we suggest that you fill the bottle with thinner to the fill line, let it sit overnight, and then shake in the morning. You may need to use a toothpick or paperclip to stir, allowing the thinner to reach the bottom of the bottle. As always, we highly suggest cleaning the necks of the polish bottles after use to allow a good seal. To prevent evaporation of the thinner, store with the regular top. Please note: Glitter polishes are generally thicker than cream polishes. The use of too much thinner can reduce the suspension properties of glitter polishes.
This is the only thinner I use. The previous bottle top was a bit of a struggle as you would have to turn the bottle upside down and then slower twist the nozzle so too much didn't come out. This new top and pipette make the release of the thinner so much better and there's less waste of the product. Not sure why I have not purchased a pipette like this years ago, but it is way better! The new turret top is awesome too but I only took pictures with the pipette because I think it's amazing!
KBShimmer Slice of Cake Hand & Body Scrub – 300 Cap - $11
Slice
of Cake Hand & Body Scrub will make you think of a perfect bite of
birthday cake. The sweet, buttery scent of frosting instantly hits you
upon opening the jar; then comes the warm vanilla and bakery notes of
cake. Close your eyes, and you can almost smell the sugary sprinkles
too! But don’t be fooled—while this scrub smells good enough to eat,
it’s best to stick to a real slice of cake instead! Use this scrub
several times a week on damp skin for best results.
Well if you know me and read this blog, you knew this would not be a scent for me. It is literally super sweet vanilla birthday cake. I have one eight-year-old niece who will love this!
KBShimmer After Party Nail Polish – No Cap - $13
After Party nail polish is inspired by confetti, streamers, and late-night celebrations. A crisp white jelly base sets off an array of colorful metallic glitters that float like confetti in the air. Pink, copper, chartreuse, aqua, and purple hex glitters in extra-small to medium sizes are accented by micro slices in coordinating colors for a party-like feel. Best in two coats; longer nails may prefer to layer over a white base or apply three layers.
After Party: 3 coats plus top coat. You can probably get away with two coats, but I could still see some of my nail line and I wanted some more even distribution of glitter so I did a very thin third coat. I also turned the bottle upside down in between coats so that more glitter could distribute evenly. In addition, I waited a few minutes between coats as. weee w when working with a polish like this so the white base is more even. Although I hate removal of these polishes, I can’t deny how much I love this because it’s a rainbow a fun colors. I even love the mini bars. This is like the perfect birthday manicure.
If this base were concrete grey, this is what Times Square looks like the day after New Year's Eve. Mr. Ehmkay and I always walk around it the next day!
The
polish and the sugar scrub will be available in the Polish Pickup shop April 4th-7th. Shipping starts at $4 in the US and at cost
to Canada.

ReplyDeleteGreat polish . I have a weakness for a KB white crelly. I will need this one as well. Thanks for sharing 💜

Thank you! It's definitely a process but by the end of July, I will be done (hopefully!). I was surprised by how much I loved this crelly. Def one of my faves from her! And I just got the new collection in!!
