Of Life and Lacquer

 

 

Hello polish peeps! How was your Monday? I was trying super hard to have this post up in the morning, but that would have entailed me actually writing up the post over the weekend and of course that didn’t happen so here I am. I tried really hard to figure out a way to capture the color shift in these polishes, but my camera was NOT COOPERATING–AT ALL. I was getting pretty worked up because I tried photographing them in direct sunlight, in the shade, in my lightbox…and nothing was working. Finally, I used my phone to photograph them in the shade and it worked! I would have liked to have some crisper images than what my phone produced, but I was satisfied to be able to show how beautiful these multi chrome polishes are. Let me show you my swatches of the KBShimmer Multi Chrome Collection for 2017 before we get into the details.

KBShimmer It’s A Blazing

KBShimmer Wine Not?

As I mentioned before, I took pictures in both direct sunlight and in the shade to show off the color shift. In person, you can really see all the beautiful colors without resorting to a bunch of tricks. I especially love Flip Flop Hooray and Iridescent Exposure–those are the two stand outs for me. In regards to the formula, I was a little concerned at how thin and patchy the first coat looked but I was pleasantly surprised that the second coat made the polish completely opaque. Sometimes I found myself creating a bald spot if I applied too much pressure when applying the second coat, but if I used a light touch and floated the polish on, I didn’t encounter any issues.  I am not the biggest fan of chrome polishes in general, but these are sooo nice that I can definitely see myself wearing them often.
