China Glaze Mingle With Kringle

Hi, you guys! Hope this week is treating you well so far! :-)

Today, I've got another polish from the China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze Collection to share with you. Mingle with Kringle is a rich gold with a shimmery foil metallic finish.

I just love golds like this for the holidays. They're so appropriately festive and jubilant. :) This is a lush shade, with plenty of yellow to bring a lot of warmth and luxury to the gold color. It has a great formula that spreads out easily and applies smoothly. And two even shades is perfect for getting total coverage with the foil particles.

You can find Mingle With Kringle at your local nail salons and at beauty stores such as Ulta and Sally Beauty for a retail price of $7.50 for 0.5 fl oz.

China Glaze There's Snow One Like You

Happy hump day, you guys! :-)

Today, I'm kicking off the twelve-polish China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze Collection with the most unique and unusual of the bunch. There's Snow One Like You is a white texture polish with medium-sized hex glitters sprinkled throughout. 

The first coat is easy to apply, but the subsequent coats are a little trickier because the polish is so bumpy. It's hard to get the second layer of polish to go on evenly and fill in all the dips. I ended up doing two coats for the swatches. I messed up my index and tried to add a third coat, but I wouldn't recommend that. It took forever to dry. Once on the nails, it reminds me of a pile of fresh snow or popcorn ceiling, depending on if you like the look or not. :P 

You can find There's Snow One Like You at your local nail salons and at beauty stores such as Ulta and Sally Beauty for a retail price of $7.50 for 0.5 fl oz.

KBShimmer Maybe Navy

Hi, you guys! :-)

Today, I wanted to close out what I have to show you from the KBShimmer Winter Collection with another favorite of mine! Maybe Navy is a teal navy blue with tons of blue and purple shimmers and a scattering of small teal glitters.

Isn't this polish just totally amazing?! I wish I could describe it better, but it's like a mixture of different colors that flash all at once, kind of like fish scales. It's so gorgeous in the bottle, and it does not disappoint at all once on the nails. I love that the shimmers are a little bigger, so they give off a slightly chunky look on the nails. Two medium coats on the nails gets you total coverage, or three thin ones if you are more patient than me. :-)

You can find Maybe Navy at KBShimmer.com for $8.75 and HarlowandCo.org for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

KBShimmer When the Doves Sigh

Happy Monday, you guys! :)

Today, I've got another lovely shade to show you from the KBshimmer Winter Collection. When the Doves Sigh is a gray creme jelly loaded with lots of small and medium-sized teal, white, pink and purples glitters.

The contrast of the glitters and the base is so fun, with the bright colors popping against the neutral gray base. It has a great formula and an easy application. I didn't have any issues getting the glitters onto the nails, which always makes me happy. There are enough of them that everything goes on smoothly with dense and even distribution of glitters. The base is just a bit more creme than jelly, so it has great pigmentation, and I needed just the standard two coats for total coverage. 

You can find When the Doves Sigh at KBShimmer.com for $8.75 and HarlowandCo.org for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

KBShimmer Sand In My Stocking

Happy weekend, my gentle readers! Hope yours is off to a swell start! :D I'm going to type out a real quick post, and then go snuggle and play with my chinchilla hehe. :)

Today, continuing with the KBShimmer Winter Collection, I've got a really fun one to share with you. Sand In My Stocking—a blogger collaboration with The PolishAholic—is a colorful glitter filled with predominantly gold and also teal, orange, and brown glitters in a variety of shapes and sizes all in a sheer base.

This glitter is just so crazily fun and sparkly. I applied it over a black creme, and I really love how the glitters just pop against the dark base. The glitter density is so high in this polish that application is a total breeze. I just did one coat over the black for the swatches, and I've already got tons of glitter coverage. I was also able to easily get the large gold stars onto the nails, which is a total plus since they look awesome mixed in with the other glitters.

You can find Sand In My Stocking at KBShimmer.com for $8.75 and HarlowandCo.org for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.
