Prism Polish UK Pour Some Sugar Collection

Posted on 27 May, 202126 May, 2021 by Cynthia

Hi there! Yeah, I know I’ve been MIA for a while but to be honest, getting the COVID vaccine kinda kicked my butt a little bit. I still would do it a million time over again just for the peace of mind and to do my part to get back to “normal” whatever that means. Work has also been pretty busy which is a good thing so I’ve just felt a little run down. But you know what? Things are definitely looking up AND I’m getting super excited about nail polish again. I had a huge tub of polish to swatch and by this weekend I’ll be completely caught up which means that I’ll be posting tons of pretties in the coming weeks. Today I am going to be sharing with you my swatches of the Prism Polish UK Pour Some Sugar Collection which you can purchase from Color4Nails. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

KBShimmer Everything Is A-Bouquet – PPU May 2021

Posted on 7 May, 20216 May, 2021 by Cynthia

Happy Friday! I am super excited for this weekend because for whatever reason, I am super exhausted. I’ve been looking forward to the weekend since like Monday–but isn’t that every week? Ha! I’ve been watching a lot of new shows and the latest one that I’m really into is Mare of Easttown; have you checked it out? It’s on HBO Max and it stars Kate Winslet. It’s pretty dark but really good. I also have tons of swatching to get done this weekend and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve had such terrible luck lately with nail breaks that I’m relieved to finally have some length. I blame the breaks on the constant cleaning and the fact that I refuse to wear gloves. I guess I can’t complain! For today’s post, I’m going to be sharing with you my swatches of KBShimmer Everything Is A-Bouquet which is available for Polish Pick Up this month. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Posted on 5 April, 20215 April, 2021 by Cynthia

Well, April is here and the heat is coming with it! The weather has definitely been heating up and I’m not happy about it one bit. I complain about the weather every Spring/Summer so maybe I should do something about it and move somewhere super cold–then I can complain about the cold…ha! Lately I have had tons of nail breaks which have kept me with super nub nails. Today I do want to show you my swatches of the Zoya Darling Collection which came out for Spring 2021.

KBShimmer I Just Wanna Fly – PPU April 2021

Posted on 2 April, 2021 by Cynthia

Don’t telll me that you aren’t humming the Sugar Ray song right now. Although I was born in 1979 and grew up with all that 80’s goodness, I wasn’t a teen until the 90’s and that is when most of my best memories are deeply entrenched. The theme for PPU this most is the 90’s and I was so excited to see what makers would come up with. Today I am going to be sharing with you my swatches of KBShimmer I Just Wanna Fly which, along with a yummy sugar scrub, will be available for purchase this month. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

KBShimmer With The Band – PPU March 2021

Posted on 2 March, 20211 March, 2021 by Cynthia

So what is up with it being March already? One year ago we were barely moving into a bunch of lockdowns; I was living in a temporary place while I waited for my apartment to finish up some remodeling work; and I was miserable and terrified about the future. I am finally starting to see some glimmer of hope, and I pray that we keep moving in the right direction. Since we are coming up to the first Friday of March, you know what that means…PPU time. Today I am going to be sharing with you my swatches of KBShimmer With The Band so let’s get this show on the road. Continue reading “KBShimmer With The Band – PPU March 2021” →

KBShimmer Enchanted Forest Collection

Posted on 23 February, 202123 February, 2021 by Cynthia

Last night when I was sleeping, I kicked my blanket off and slept without it. Yep, Spring is just around the corner here in California. I mean, it was in the high 70’s over the weekend so I know that the days of bundling up and wearing cozy jackets and sweaters is pretty much over. As someone who loves California Winters and absolutely detests Summer, I am very sad. But you know what’s helping with my seasonal sadness? A NEW KBSHIMMER COLLECTION! If you want to see some awesome new polishes, join me below for my swatches of the KBShimmer Enchanted Forest Collection. Continue reading “KBShimmer Enchanted Forest Collection” →

Hi again! So in a weird cleaning fit, I misplaced my SD card that had all my pictures for this collection. I’m such a weirdo sometimes.

Today I want to share my swatches of the Zoya Naturel 4 Collection with you so let’s take a look at my swatches below. Continue reading “Zoya Naturel 4 Collection” →

KBShimmer I Can Sea Clearly Now – PPU February 2021

Posted on 1 February, 202131 January, 2021 by Cynthia

Hello on this first day of February. One year ago, our lives started to turn upside down due to the pandemix and I’m sad to say that we are still on that struggle bus. I hope that things start to get better for all of us. I am hopeful but still incredibly disappointed by the behaviors I see. Anywho, I really hope that things turn around. I haven’t been much in the mood to swatch and play with polish except for the random mani or swatch. Well, today I am going to be sharing with you the polish I’ve been wearing for the last week. KBShimmer I Can Sea Clearly Now is such a chameleon polish that I know you will love. Let’s take a look at my swatches below. Continue reading “KBShimmer I Can Sea Clearly Now – PPU February 2021” →
