Press Sample
Today is the launch of the new KBShimmer Early Summer 2014 Collection and I have the last 3 polishes I received for review to show to you. These are the new textures and I have to say they are pretty cool. The polishes are not super textured. They contain quite a bit of glitter so they are chunkier compared to something like Zoya's regular PixieDust polishes, but they are not as chunky as the newer Zoya Magical PixieDust shades. The textures all have a jelly base and dry to a semi-matte finish. I got full coverage with all three shades with just 2 coats, but I did dab on a bit more polish in a few spots that seemed to not get as much glitter. And I wore these without top coat, to keep the textured finish. First up is my absolute favorite of the entire Early Summer Collection, Partners In Lime.
I love this bright lime jelly base, containing lime green, aqua and gold holographic glitters. I wore this polish again after swatching but with top coat and some stamping, and the glitter really made the whole design pop. I'm hoping to get a separate post up on that mani in the next few days.
The 2nd texture polish is a bright turquoise called She Twerks Out.
She Twerks Out is full of holographic glitters in teal, lime green, aqua, and violet. Really easy application in just 2 coats, with just an extra dab or two near the tips to cover a few spots of visible nail line.
The last of the 3 textures is a bright purple called Too Pop To Handle. The jelly base in this was more opaque, I applied two coats and didn't feel like there were any spots I needed to touch up.
Too Pop To Handle contains violet, magenta, pink and aqua holographic glitters. It had a smooth formula, as did all three of the textures. And all three, when dry, had the same degree of texture to their finish.
I have to say that at first I was a bit worried when I heard KBShimmer was releasing some textured polishes, just because there are so many textured polishes out there already. But I ended up really liking these three textures a great deal, especially because of the multi-colored glitters mixed in. I've only tried top coating Partners In Lime, but I had great results so I plan to try it out with the other 2 textures and use them as a base for some nail art in the near future. The texture polishes retail for $8.75 each. The textures, as well as the entire Early Summer 2014 Collection, are available for purchase starting today at KBShimmer.com.
