The shimmer reflects enough that it's not really that noticeable in normal conditions, my glam lighting enhances it tho.

Apple Dapple Doo
Apple Dapple Doo is inspired by the movie scene that features this song. Stage lights in fuchsia, red, and pink lighting an otherwise dim scene inspired this magnetic shade. A bold magnetic shows off hues of pink and fuchsia at most angles, with touches of peach and gold. A deep background subtly shifts from navy to purple and black, while a touch of micro holographic glitter adds a hint of sparkle. Shown in two coats magnetized with a wand magnet in two different directions.

A story quoted from Christy "I can remember the exact day my husband changed my world. It was a sunny Saturday and we were on a day trip. I was minding my business singing along to the 80s music station. Suddenly, he turned to me and asked what I was singing. I said, "A Prince song." With some exasperated noises he replied, “I know that, but what words are you singing exactly?” I told him “Apple dapple doo.” The puzzled look on his face turned into laughter as he said, “I Would Die 4 U!” It took some back and forth to realize that he was correcting my misheard lyrics. To this day, I still hear Apple Dapple Doo when listening to that song!"




Root Beer Float Sugar Scrub
Root Beer Float hand and body scrub will take you back to those childhood summer days. A top note of root beer gives way to subtle smooth notes of creamy vanilla. Hints of cinnamon and clove give depth to that root beer bite. This scrub even echoes the look of a root beer float with its dark brown base topped with a creamy white layer. For best results, use this scrub frequently to keep skin smooth and moisturized.

KBShimmer Straight To The Pint Nail Polish - No Cap

There is something soothing about ice cream and frozen desserts. Rich and creamy, cold and sugary, grabbing a pint of chocolate cherry chunk or smooth vanilla can turn a bad night into a good one. For Christy of KBshimmer, she likes a frozen treat blended with sugary bits of sweet and tart. That royal restaurant with the chilly treats used that creamy frozen base to blend up many of our favorite candy bars and desserts. Her favorite is cotton candy inspired. That crisp white base gets mixed with sugary bits, turning it into a flavorful light pink treat, perfect for soothing a sweet tooth.

Straight To The Pint nail polish starts with the palest pink crelly base and is accented with a mix of small and medium glitters in light purple, hot pink, and blue, echoing those sugary bits. Buildable in two to three coats, this crelly polish is a perfect match for your favorite frozen treat! I'm wearing it in two coats with Smooth Moves glitter tamer and Clearly on Top topcoat for a super glossy and smooth surface shine.




KBShimmer Fruity Loops Hand & Body Scrub - No Cap

As a kid, breakfast before going to school could be a treat if you played your cards right. No eggs or oatmeal on a good morning, just colorful cereals filled with sugar and fun mascots. Those bright boxes invited kids to look for a prize or try the maze on the back of the box. Some cereals turned milk into a colorful, sweet drink, ensuring that the bowl was finished to the last drop. One of Christy's favorites was boldly colored, fruit-flavored loops. That blend of citrus fruit, apple, and berry flavors just made the perfect start to the morning.

Fruity Loops Hand & Body Scrub is a nod to that sugar-loaded breakfast food. A sweet and punchy orange scent gives way to notes of juicy ripe berries. A hint of tart tangerine brightens the sugary vanilla note for a perfect blend that is sweet, but not overpowering. Like those colorful loops, this scrub features a rainbow of swirled colors; coupled with a dash of biodegradable glitter on top, this hand and body scrub is sure to be a cheery treat for your skin.

Jen is reviewing something that's not indie? Yes, indeed! I have loads of mainstream polishes, it's what my collection started with in 2008; way back when indies did not exist.

This mainstream polish from Believe is more modern though. I swatched it last year, within about week of having purchased it. I saw it in a nail group and had to have it! The reason I needed that shade is because it reminds me of a custom tailored suit my mother made for me. The fabric I chose for it was a huge floral with golds, yellows, oranges, and greens. The lining and skirt that she made to go with the coat were this bright shade of orange.

Although the polish may look more red on some devices, it is definitely orange. I'd call it a bright red-orange, kind of like the crayola. Shown below is two coats with topcoat and a photo of it with matte topcoat. The formula was very fluid, not streaky at all but I had to take care with loading the brush and application as it would easily flood near the skin.

After about four days of wear, it began chipping. This is about half the wear time I usually get from other polishes. I'm still super happy about being able to add the shade to my collection. It's a bit nostalgic, as I no longer have the suit my mom made. It's also great color for summer time which is just around the corner!

KBshimmer Rose Were The Days Nail Polish – No Cap
The rose is such a classic flower, and with Christy's last name being Rose, it was clear to her what flower would inspire the April PPU nail polish. The velvet-like petals in a huge array of colors make them a favorite for floral gifting. Deep red expresses love, yellow a bright friendship, and pink signifies cheer. With their heady fragrance, roses find themselves to be a favorite among gardeners, too.

Rose Were The Days nail polish is a deep, magenta-leaning polish with pink and red tones. This vibrant, cool-toned shade is amplified with an orange to gold shifting shimmer. Depending on the lighting and viewing angle, this polish can skew pinker or more red. Holo glow flakes add a dewy holographic sparkle to this two-coat shade.




KBShimmer Pink Lotus & Lime Hand & Body Scrub – No Cap
Floating among vibrant green foliage, bright pink lotus blooms are such a beautiful pop of color. White, yellow, and pink in hue, these water-loving florals are a sight to see and are the inspiration for the April scrub, Pink Lotus & Lime.

With top notes of green and citrus like the lotus blossom, this semi-sweet sugar scrub is brightened with notes of key lime, kiwi slices, and pineapple. Hints of sultry jasmine add depth to this floral scent. A vibrant mix of pink, lime, and cream swirls borrow their hues from the lotus blossom for the perfect flower-inspired scrub. I don't typically like jasmine, but Christy is working magic ya'll. I'm 2 for 2 on these jasmine blends, this one is lovely! Don't miss it!

After months of brown and gray everywhere, one day you wake up, and the grass is green, the first pops of purple, yellow, pink, and green begin to emerge. The Plant One On Me collection is inspired by the rainbow of hues seen from spring to fall. This bright and bold collection offers a variety of finishes to add a pop of floral-inspired color to your nails.




Spring Theory – Come February, we’re all watching for the groundhog to see if Spring truly is around the corner. There are warm days when it feels like we’re almost there, but then out of nowhere, snow! But there is hope; popping through the snow are the green leaves and colorful blooms of crocus, proving that spring weather is not just a dream, but soon to come.

Spring Theory nail polish starts with a snowy white crelly base. Tiny glitters in shades of blue, purple, yellow, green, and pink swim within like a bed of flowers popping through that last snow of the season. Shown in two coats with quick-dry topcoat.




So Impatiens – Some count down the days until spring break, others until the threat of frost has passed so that seedlings and flowers can finally be planted. That waiting for the sun to warm the earth and air enough to plant can seem endless but is well worth the reward of impatiens brightening up hanging baskets or garden beds.

So Impatiens nail polish is a vibrant and punchy pink shade loaded with shifty shimmer and holo glow flakes. Lower lighting brings out hints of orange, red, and gold, which can make the magenta pink appear more coral. This twinkling shimmer is shown in two coats with topcoat.




That’s Ranunculus – As farmer’s markets and cut-your-own-flower locations ramp up, it would be ridiculous to imagine those curated bouquets without ranunculus. Bursting forth in hues of orange, pink, red, and cream, these near scentless blossoms are ideal to fill vases with bright color, adding a touch of spring indoors.

That’s Ranunculus nail polish borrows its vibrant orange hue from those vibrant blooms. A burnt orange background shimmers with sparks of red, magenta, and tangerine. In bold lighting or under flash, gold reflective glitters twinkle, bringing out a pinker shade of shimmer. Shown in two coats with quick-dry topcoat.




Daffodil With It – As the earth cools in the fall, we plant rows of bulbs, hoping that come spring, vibrant yellow blooms will burst forth. These jovial flowers with their fun shape truly let us know that a new season is upon us. Cut in vases, or left to bloom outdoors, daffodils help us deal with those last winter days, knowing that soon our days of heavy layers and staying indoors will give way to spring dresses and summer parties.

Daffodil With It is a vibrant yellow linear holographic nail polish. This joyful hue mimics those early spring buds with its golden tone leaning slightly green, for a near true yellow in bright lighting. Shown in two coats with topcoat, this shade will come alive in the sun, making it the perfect hue to usher in warmer weather.




Change Of Plants – Heading down to the garden center is a dangerous hobby. You only need potting soil, and yet next thing you know, you’re switching your cart for a flatbed filled with trays of flowers for garden beds, planters, and some new greenery to spruce up the indoors.

Change Of Plants nail polish echoes those rows of bright green leaves. A shimmery base shows off hues of lemon yellow, gold, lime, and leaf green. A hint of micro holographic glitter adds a dew-like twinkle like freshly watered plants catching the sunlight. Shown in two coats with topcoat.




Lilac It Or Not – Growing up, Christy had a magical tree-lined fortress. Vibrant green leaves easily hid her friends by late spring, sparking afternoon games of hide and seek. As the days warmed, fragrant blue and purple blooms added to the magic of their favorite fortress, as the huge “trees” were actually lilacs nurtured for years into some of the largest bushes she has ever seen.

Lilac It Or Not nail polish pays homage to those aromatic bunches of tiny blossoms. A cool blue base offers up a bed for holo glow flakes to twinkle and shine. Subtle lighting or shade, along with different viewing angles, bring out lavender and purple hues while brighter lighting amps up an icy blue shimmer and holo sparkles. Shown in two coats, this floral shade will be one you’ll love regardless of the season.




Before & Aster – Sometimes spring planting can seem like a waiting game. Waiting to see which perennials return, and which will need a bit more care to bring forth vibrant blooms. Before spring turns into summer, gardens are weeded and small bundles of greenery are carefully placed so that after a while, you can enjoy bursts of color late into the summer and fall.

Before & Aster nail polish is a deep cornflower blue-leaning periwinkle. Loaded with holo glow flakes, bright light brings about a rainbow sparkle along with a vibrant pink shimmer. In the shade, the color-shifting shimmer shows off hints of copper, green and gold. This aster-inspired shade is shown in two coats.




Simply Iris-istible – Sturdy green stems stand proud, boasting vibrant blooms in the classic fleur-de-lis shape; it’s no wonder why irises hold court in many a late spring garden. Offering a plethora of colors, from deep purples and delicate creams to fluttery yellows and deep reds, these majestic flowers offer a rainbow of irresistible hues to brighten any garden bed.

Simply Iris-istible nail polish is a muted royal purple loaded with glowing holo flakes. Brighter lighting amplifies the holo while bringing out gold and green from the shimmery base. In lower lighting or shade, a near rainbow of hues shift from a dusty rose to copper, gold, green, and blue, depending on the viewing angle. This iris-inspired shade is shown in two coats.




Ultra-Violet – When the weather warms and grass ends its dormancy, lawns across the nation perk up. In some regions, tiny purple violets dot the lawn. Many a tiny bouquet have been made from those miniature floral stems, reflecting the joy of picking flowers to give to a loved one.

Ultra-Violet is a purple reflective shade boldly colored to usher in warm weather. In low light, purple reflective glitters subtly twinkle, setting off a deep purple violet hue. In brighter light, the purple reflective glitters burst forth, giving off a near ultraviolet color. Reflective shades are best applied in two thin coats, topped with a glitter-smoothing topcoat before a coat of quick-dry topcoat.

Great Lakes Lacquer - Come Again
Inspired by Mariah's love of rain. 'Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day'; She always meant the come again part, when she sang this song.
A smokey navy glowing with a red/orange/gold shifting aurora shimmer. Shown in two coats with topcoat, perfect formula and vibrant shift.

KBShimmer - Lightning Strikes Nail Polish - No Cap

Inspired by storms, the polish has soft glowing holographic flakes that form a base echoing falling rain. A shifting shimmer comes alive in indirect lighting with strong flashes of violet quickly changing into blue and aqua. In bolder lighting, the silvery holo flakes dance within the purple shimmer. Shown in two coats with topcoat, formula perfection, can be used as a topper in one coat. Fantastic shift.




KBShimmer Jasmine & Patchouli Hand & Body Scrub – No Cap

As spring slowly takes over from winter, soft rains help new growth burst forth, filling gardens with flowers and trees with fresh leaves. When the rain ends and the sun breaks through the clouds, that earthy scent of a warming day is comforting. Light breezes carrying the scent of freshly turned earth and blooming gardens are what inspired KBShimmer's March scent.

Jasmine & Patchouli Hand & Body Scrub echoes rainy days, the warm earth, and fresh flowers. This earthy scent starts with notes of soft musk and patchouli. Sweet vanilla sugar and blooming jasmine help round out this clean, fresh scent. Featuring a creamy base accented with yellow and lime swirls, this scrub can be used daily to help keep your skin soft and fragrant.

This scrub scent really surprised me. I almost didn't order it to review but I'm glad I did and I'll tell you why.
A bit of back story: Over the last twenty years I've tried hundreds of patchouli perfume blends and only found one that I liked. I just really do not care for patchouli much. I also don't like jasmine. It reminds me of the spray always found in my grandmother's bathroom. I have not been able to wear perfumes with jasmine in them for this reason. I was skeptical about this scrub scent but I was very pleasantly surprised by it.
On application, I definitely picked up the patchouli notes and not so much the others, after I rinsed though...it was the cleanest scent! It has this touch of earthyness that the patchouli adds, but not in a strong or overpowering way. It's very subtle. If it wasn't on the label, I don't think I would have guessed it was in there. So if you're hesitant, give this a shot - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the scent left on the skin after rinsing.

Getting Jiggy With It is inspired by Michigan's long winters and the benefit of being able to safely go ice fishing.
The polish is a sky blue deepened with flares of a shifting violet red to orange to gold shimmer and finished with a scattered holographic.
No planned cap
The shimmer is lit from within and so glowy and vibrant! I can't even with it ya'll, Mariah's working her magic again! Don't miss out on this one. Shown in two coats with topcoat, the base is slightly sheer and buildable. The blue shade is definitely like the sky, it is not aqua or turquoise and in low lights the shimmer sometimes makes it look periwinkle or cornflower! Compare my index nail to my ring fingernail in the first image to see what I'm describing. Such a pretty base shade.

Michigan Winter Sunset
Mariah visited Michigan Summer Sunsets last year, so she thought we'd visit winter. This is a white formula in the same style as 'Lake Superior Shenanigans' but with a different shimmer.
A white base shimmering with a violet red to orange to gold shifting aurora shimmer and a bit of scattered holographic to go with.
I wore this in two coats with glossy top coat and ya'll the shimmer in this is amazing! It's such a vibrant copper, almost red looking in some lights. I have not seen anything like it before, except for another polish Mariah made and is releasing soon. Definitely unique in my collection and the photos don't do it justice, far from it.

Broken Sunshine
Winter blues; Mariah's feeling it.
A sheer white base filled with violet red to orange to gold to green shifting iridescent flake and holographic microflake.
Shown in two coats over Orly Rose-colored Glasses which is a sheer pale shade I used for blurring vnl. I also show this with one matte in the third photo which makes it look like an opal to me! I love this flake and the color range gorgeously matches up with the shimmer polish's color range.
