KBShimmer - Pigment of my Imagination

Get ready for some color shifty awesomeness!

 

 

 Today I have for you one of my only multichrome polishes.  The beauty is from KBShimmer and is called "Pigment of my Imagination".  I have always liked shifty duochromes but I had never jumped on the multichrome bandwagon until recently.  A "multichrome" polish has pigments that shift into multiple colors based on the lighting and angle.  This polish has flashes of navy, purple, magenta, red then some orange to gold at extreme angles.  With all this color shifty awesomeness...you can expect to get stopped at traffic lights staring at your fingers changing colors.  For these swatches I used two coats for full opacity topped with KBShimmer "Clearly on Top" quick dry top coat.  Check out all the colors and be sure to watch the little Flipgram video of even more shiftiness :)

Straight on shot showing off the deep blue base color.

Slightly angled shot with two light sources to show off the blue-purple shift.

More blue to purple/red shift.

Greater angled to capture the shiftiness.

Water droplet macro to REALLY bring out all the colors in one shot.
Oh.  Em.  Gee.

 

Amazing right?  I hope you liked the little video showing off all the colors at all the angles.  Those little water droplets really help bend the light and show off even more flashes of color.  KBShimmer has a few other mutlichromes and they even come with a holographic option.  Get them here:

My first P2 Cosmetics!

Guten Tag!

I recently participated in my first international nail mail swap.  My buddy, Beninga, and I swapped drug store brands that neither if us could get in our respective counties very easily.  She wanted Hard Candy, Sinful Colors and Orly from the US.  I wanted P2, Essence and Catrice from Germany.  I was so ecstatic over the amount of awesome in my box from Germany!  Tons of textured polish and lots of orange and coral colors.  I love textured polish :)  It makes great accent nails and I use them in all of my skittlettes.   But I had no idea just how awesome P2 Volume Gloss line was.  Holy hell!  These polishes have the most perfect, creamy, glossy formula ever.  I seriously want them all!

So here is my very first P2 mani!  I used 2 coats of Business Woman from the Volume Gloss line and 2 coats of Strict from the Sand Style line.  I did not use a top coat.  Repeat...I DID NOT USE A TOP COAT!  Look at that perfect shiny finish!!!!  I'm in love!

Don't you wish you could just run out to Walgreens and pick up this whole line of polishes?  I do.  But I will have to wait for another package from Germany :) 

Danke Freunde!

Pipe down this Love is Bliss June box

Hi lovelies!

There is a super cool monthly indie polish box available that you should definitely check out!  "Pipe down this Love is Bliss" is a themed monthly polish box that is the combination of three indie brands: Pipe Dream Polish, Love Angeline and Bliss Polish.  Each month they also feature another indie maker to round out the box with 4 exclusive polishes for $30.  For June, the theme of the box is "Take Me Away" and all the polishes are inspired by a tropical beach vacation.  The ladies asked The Juice Box Lacquer to join in for this months box and it is a bittersweet collaboration because Bre is closing up shop.  This will be one of her last new polishes to be released...so you better get your hands on it!

"Sunset on Paradise" is the polish from Bliss Polish.  I love this orange/coral crelly!  There is a mix of red and pink and gold glitters that really make you think of a tropical sunset.  I used 2 thick coats with a top coat for this swatch.

"Sand Castles" is from Love, Angeline.  Oh boy!  I just love, love, love this polish.  It's a very flattering nude polish with a subtle holo and multicolored microflakies.  So beautiful!  I used 2 coats for full coverage along with a top coat.

"Sea Bubbles" is from Pipe Dream Polish.  I dabbed on 1 coat of this teal/blue holo glitter topper over a coral base.  Who doesn't love circle glitter???  This glitter looks great over many colors.

"Sparkling Waters" is the special, goodbye polish from The Juice Box Lacquer.  This is really stunning and full of teal and gold flakies.  I used three coats for full opacity but this looks great with one coat over darker colors.

The "Take Me Away" box releases today at 10am PST!!  You can get all 4 of these exclusive polishes for just $30 plus shipping and handling.  There will only be 30 boxes available, so be sure to order one before they are all gone!!

This month the "Pipe down this Love is Bliss" box will be sold from the Bliss Polish store.  But be sure to check out all the stores for even more indie beauties!
