Can you believe that there is about a week and a half left before we enter 2015? I’m kind of blown away by this because I feel like I’m in such a different place than I was a year ago–in a good way for the most part. But, I’ll leave that self-reflection for another post, maybe my last post of the year after I’ve had a few margaritas. Ooohhh….dangerous combination. One of the things I look forward to is the unveiling of the Pantone Color of the year. Having worked in the paint industry for a bit, I learned to love color and all the different trends that affect how products are marketed. As you may know, Marsala is the 2015 color of the year and I actually quite like it. I heard make people complaining about it and how it’s a grandma color and plain ugly. I love the earthiness of the color, and I think it suits my skin tone quite well. I knew that there would be plenty of polishes coming out with Marsala as the main inspiration and to day I have one of the first ones I have seen: KBShimmer Men Are From Mars-ala.
Look, you already know what I’m going to say because we’re talking about KBShimmer here. This polish is absolutely gorgeous. The formula is buttery and opaque at two coats. While it doesn’t look super holographic here, it does look amazing in the sun. Good job, KBShimmer…you never disappoint.
My friend Amy asked me how Men Are From Mars-ala compared to Deja Brew so I decided to do a little comparison for her.
Totally different! I should have included Rust No One, but that one is also not similar as it is much more red/orange.
So what do you think about this polish? What are your thoughts on the color of the year? If you’re interested in picking up this beauty, it will be available on www.KBShimmer.com for $8.75 on January 1st. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!
Thank you for doing the comparison. I thinks they look stunning on you. Maybe you should do a gradient with all 3 of them. Ideas!!!

Challenge accepted. I need to get my ass in gear and figure out how to do a good water marble, though…it’s killing me inside.
Great post! I think the color of the year is ugly but THIS interpretation makes it SO lustworthy:). Thanks for sharing xoxoxo
I’m glad you like it here! 🙂 KBShimmer never lets us down.
Both are lovely colors.

I love this color of the year, I don’t think it’s ugly at all! And KBShimmer did a great take on it!
P.S. I totally challenge you to drink margaritas and do a reflection post. 😛
