KBShimmer - Summer Vacation Collection

Hey there!

Press Sample

I can't believe summer is practically over!  I also can't believe how long it has taken me to get this review out to you all.  The newest collection from KBShimmer is amazing!  They have created a brand new finish called Holo Glow Flake.  It is slightly metallic, super shimmery and packed with soft holographic flakies.  These polishes to have a certain glow-from-within quality to them.  The Summer Vacation Collection has a wide range of bright colors perfect for summer and will make you not want to go back to school.  Let's take a look!

Just a note about all of these formulas so I don't repeat myself over and over again.  For each of these swatches I am showing you tow coats with Clearly On Top.  They all had a slightly squishy formula which applied very nicely.  The shimmer can show brush strokes slightly, so careful application is recommended.  Removal is a breeze since the flakies are soft and not like glitter at all.  

Flock This Way - A warm mid toned pink with fiery coral shimmer and soft holographic flakies.  This is a gorgeous pink shade!  It is definitely pink but the contrasting shimmer gives it a nice flash of orange at any angle.  A gorgeous pedicure color for sure.

Shady Beaches - A warm pinky peach with a bright salmon/rose shimmer and soft holographic flakies.  Yep...totally in love with this one.  Of course I would be!  I love the slightly pink tone to this pink.  The shimmer really brings out the pink more.  I bet this would look amazing on tanner skin tones.

Squeeze the Day - A bright lemon yellow with orange/copper shimmer and soft holographic flakies.  This polish does remind me of lemons.  Particularly preserved Moroccan lemons.  The orange/copper shimmer really warms up this yellow.  And it is super opaque for a yellow!  A++

Kiwi Real - A soft kiwi green with bright green shimmer and soft holographic flakies.  This shade is a little bit tricky to describe.  The holographic effect of the flakies gives it almost a warm tone.  A little bit orange.  But there isn't any orange shimmer in here.  The shimmer actually flashes pretty bright green.  Crazy!  I would say this shade is the least opaque of the group and some people may want to do three coats vs two.

No Wave! - A deep ocean blue with bright blue shimmer and soft holographic flakies.  More mermaid nails!  This blue is like lagoon water.  Slightly teal and sparkling.  I did not have any staining with this shade which is nice.

Hashtag You're It! - A purple leaning indigo with shifting blue to purple shimmer and soft holographic flakies.  Oh boy...this one is a gem!  The blue shimmer against the purple base is really eye catching and sure to be a favorite.  This seems more of a fall winter shade but I would wear it year round.

Berry Chill - A warm orchid purple with bright violet shimmer and soft holographic flakies.  Another great pedicure shade here!  This purple is bright and warm and would look great with tanned skin.  The shimmer is not super prevalent with this polish but the base color makes up for it.

I'm Onyx - A black base with shifting blue to purple shimmer and soft holographic flakies.  Wowza!  This shade is instant galaxy nails.  It really looks like the night sky with stars and shifting shimmer.  Another crowd favorite, I am sure.  Even though it is basically a black polish, it will never look just black on your nails.

Isn't this collection amazing?!?!  I am in love with these shades.  The contrasting shimmers really make they different than your standard holo flakie polish.  My faves are Sandy Beach, I'm Onyx and Hastag You're It.  Which are your faves?  You can get these now from KBShimmer for $9.25 each.  Stockists should have these as well now.  Go grab them!
