KBShimmer: It's Fall Good Collection
Once school starts, the seasons seem to race by. Cool autumn nights and frosty mornings signal the end of warm days. Store aisles fill with costumes and candy, leading to the annual dilemma of choosing what Halloween character you’ll be. The aromas of cinnamon, clove, and pumpkin enhance the fall spirit, whether from a flickering candle, a spiced drink, or a slice of warm bread. Movie nights take a spookier turn with horror flicks, classic monsters, and ghostly tales. Experience the It's Fall Good collection from KBShimmer with me!
Charmed Life nail polish is magical with its magnetic effect. A vibrant fuchsia shifts to rose pink, while different angles bring out touches of gold and lime. When magnetized, micro flakes transition from rosy pink to peach and gold, accentuating the charcoal black base. Two coats provide coverage for most, or layer over black to enhance the dark base and multichrome shift. No top coat used for these swatches. My index and middle finger were magnetized with a horseshoe magnet; my ring and pinky nails were magnetized with KBShimmer's zig-zag magnetic wand.
Come Sip With Us is a teal-leaning slate blue nail polish with color-shifting shimmer and micro holo sparkle. The rosy pink shimmer shifts to copper and peach, and at some angles, gold and green. Indirect lighting reveals lavender and fuchsia tones. This complex polish is best worn in two to three coats.
Dead Ringer is an illuminating, shimmery shade with strong multichrome flips. A jelly brown base highlights vibrant cyan blue and earthy green tones, with aqua, sapphire blue, indigo, and near purple emerging with different angles and lighting. This shimmery shade sparkles and offers two to three coat coverage.
Flash Forward is a suspenseful shade packed with intense shimmer and flash-reactive glitter. The blackened blue base sets the stage for a bold sapphire shimmer to stand out. Finely milled silver reflective pigment twinkles under indoor lighting, while bright lights like camera flashes or sunlight make the silver pop! Apply two coats for a fun textured look or add a layer of Smooth Moves and Clearly On Top, which is how I'm showing it, for a glass-like finish.
For The Pun Of It is a vibrant multichrome nail polish that changes hues with viewing angle and lighting. A vibrant red shifts to rosy pink, golden yellow, burnished orange copper, and bold green. With its slightly shimmery finish, this chameleon shade sparkles in the light. Two coats offer full coverage.
Got It Covered is a soft gray crelly nail polish featuring a mix of black metallic and multichrome flakes. The flakes shift from green and blue to aquamarine, fuchsia, magenta, and orange. This flake-filled shade provides good coverage in two coats, though three coats may be preferred for maximum flake density.
Gummy A Break is reminiscent of a candy aisle’s colorful array. A rich purple base is accented by vibrant color-shifting metallic flakes in pink, fuchsia, orange, and gold, with fine silver reflective glitter to add sparkle. The polish is thicker than other formulas and is best applied in two thin coats. Wear alone for a fun textured look or with Smooth Moves and Clearly On Top, as shown in my photos, for a glass-like finish.
It’s Fall Good nail polish is a reminder of the beautiful color-changing leaves of fall. A mix of metallic and micro flakes shift from pinky reds to coppery oranges, bold reds, and golden yellows, set in a burgundy jelly base. The flake-heavy polish may seem thicker than other formulas, but I didn't notice any application difficulties. Two thin coats provide full coverage.
Mull It Over nail polish features a merlot-colored base amped up with a glowing red shimmer, paying homage to seasonal mulled wine. The shimmer reveals burgundy and copper tones from different angles, creating a vampy red. Best applied in two coats with a quick-dry topcoat.
Night Shift nail polish mirrors the midnight sky. A deep black base shifts to a warm purple hue with subtle pops of green, silver, charcoal, or cool-toned purple from different angles. Micro holographic glitter adds a magical touch. Two coats offer coverage for most. For the best effect, finish with Clearly On Top.
Spectral Feeling nail polish is an illuminating shade with a strong blue-violet magnetic shift. The blue base morphs into bold purple and violet hues with a hint of pink at some angles. Glowy fuchsia flakes add to the black background, shifting in shades of pink, orange, and purple. Two coats provide coverage as shown, or layer over black to enhance the base and multichrome shift. My index and middle finger were magnetized with a horseshoe magnet; my ring and pinky nails were magnetized with KBShimmer's zig-zag magnetic wand.
Tricked Out is an ultra-shifty multichrome nail polish that transitions through a range of colors. Starting as a deep purple, almost navy, this tricky shade shifts to pink and fuchsia, then to orange and green with changes in viewing angle. Bright light reveals grape and fuchsia tones, while the full color range is best seen in indirect light. Best in two to three coats.
All of these and more are available at KBShimmer online.
