Aren’t you glad it’s Friday? Although this was a short work week for me, I felt like it dragged a bit. This weekend I was planning to do a bunch of swatching, but then I remembered that my nephew is getting baptized so we have Sunday blocked out for that. I can’t wait to see him all dressed up! I’ll put up some pictures on my instagram in case you want to check them out. Definitely get ready for cuteness overload. So as you may have noticed, I’m definitely a Tonic fan and I wanted to let you know that there will be a restock on Sunday 1/21 at 2:00 PM Central Time. For the love of God mark your calendars and set your alarms because no one wants to read about how you missed the restock because you were cleaning your bathroom, feeding your pet iguana or because you didn’t know what time the restock started in your time zone. And even more exciting, some of the UP polishes will be restocking for the last time. Yes, you read that correctly–THE LAST RESTOCK. Tonic Serendipity will be one of those polishes being restocked so I figured I might as well show you my swatches of this beauty. Continue reading “Tonic Serendipity”

KBShimmer Unicorn Pee Collection
Happy Monday! Yeah, yeah…I know how most of us feel about Mondays but let’s try to be positive! We’ve gotten some heat relief here in SoCal (at least in my area), so I’m grateful for that small thing. This weekend went by waaaaay too quickly, but I did get a bunch of stuff done so I feel somewhat productive. On Friday, I got these beautiful polishes that I have to share with you today. I’m sure that by this time, you have seen a million swatches of these but I know that they don’t get old because who gets tired of Unicorn Pee? Not me! Let me go ahead and show you my swatches of the KBShimmer Unicorn Pee Collection.
KBShimmer Let’s Slang

The KBShimmer Unicorn Pee Collection is made up of 3 jelly polishes and 1 topper. The three jelly polishes: Let’s Slang, So Jelly and Goal Digger require multiple coats to deepen the color. If you are looking for an opaque result, you will have to apply 3 coats. If you do not top coat these polishes, they dry to a satiny finish. Personally, I love them hella glossy so I applied 1 coat of Poshé. The 4th polish in the collection is a topper that can transform any polish. I love to use it to amp up the sparkle in the other 3 polishes as you can see in my swatches. The first two swatches of each color are solely of the individual polish and the next 3 show them with one generous coat of You Dew You. I tried to get pictures at different angles to try to show you the gorgeous shift that is the hallmark of the Unicorn Pee pigment.
So where can you buy these? As of the writing of this post, the KBShimmer website is sold out of all the polishes except Goal Digger. You can, however, still purchase these on Color4Nails and Harlow & Co. Check them out at the links below.
Rainbow Connection (UK and EU Only)
So what is your verdict? Personally, I love them. At first I thought they were going to be a little ho hum but they are NOT! They are gorgeous!! I really hope that additional pigment can be sourced so that everyone who wants these beauties can get them. Let me know what you think in the comments below. Are you sick of Unicorn Pee? Did you manage to get these? Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!

KBShimmer You Dew You – Stamping Saturdays
Hey there. I know it’s been 5 billion years since I have done a Stamping Saturdays mani, but I just felt inspired today. Yesterday I got my KBShimmer Unicorn Pee Polishes and I just couldn’t wait to play with them. I did watch the 3 polishes i the collection and also used the topper for today’s Mani. KBShimmer You Dew You is the Unicorn Pee topper of the collection which can beautifully transform any polish. Let me start by showing you the polish that I used as my base color.
KBShimmer Low and Be Bold is one of those delicious cobalt blues that work so well under the Unicorn Pee pigment. This polish has a jelly type consistency but it builds up nicely with two coats which is what I used for my swatches above.
I then applied one coat of KBShimmer You Dew You over KBShimmer Low and Be Bold. This looks much more beautiful in real life since artificial lighting doesn’t truly show all the beautiful color shifts from orange to green. It’s very difficult to capture the shift in all its glory!
Lastly, I used a Born Pretty plate BP-L016 for the stamping image. I used some of my trusty Konad white stamping polish as well, but I’m really looking for an alternative. If you have any suggesting for a great white and black stamping polish, please let me know!
So there you have it. I was happy to try my hand at stamping again after neglecting any kind of nail art for so long. Since I did finish my swatches of the KBShimmer Unicorn Pee Collection, I’ll be posting those on Monday. Let me know what you think of this mani; I’m pretty happy with it and love how it turned out overall.
If you’re interested in purchasing this polish, unfortunately it is not currently available. Only one polish from the collection is still in stock at kbshimmer.com but I’m hoping that they will be able to find more pigment and bring back the whole collection.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!
Tonic Curio
The weather here in SoCal is incredibly gloomy and humid today–a putrid combination. The last week has been super hot so I am hoping that we get a little break this week. It’s kind of hard to do your nails when it’s hot and humid because polish acts funky, but I did manage to do a few swatches this weekend. On Sunday, I spent my whole day glued to the couch watching season 3 of Narcos on Netflix. Have you seen it yet? I really hope there is a season 4!!!!! I definitely think that the show was much more interesting when they were focusing on Pablo Escobar, but the new angle and the story of the Cali Cartel is engrossing as well. Anyway, today I want to show you my very first Tonic purchase. Yes, you read that correctly: my first Tonic purchase. The polish I have for you today is Tonic Curio from the coveted Unicorn Pee Collection. Let me show you some swatches first.
Tonic Curio is a blue toned purple with the gorgeous unicorn pee pigment that flashes from red to green depending on the lighting and angle. This polish is very sheer since it is a jelly so expect to apply up to 4 coats if you plan to wear it alone. You could also apply a purple base color and apply 1-2 coats of Curio on top of it if you don’t want to wear it on its own. Personally, I loved wearing this on its own even if I did have to apply multiple coats. Currently, the Unicorn Pee Collection is sold out on the Tonic Website and I have no idea if the polishes will be restocked. Womp womp.
Did you manage to get any of the Tonic Unicorn Pee polishes before they sold out? I really wanted to get Serendipity but it was sold out by the time I remembered the restock. You’ve really got to be quick as a ninja to get some of these LE polishes. Let me know what you think about this polish. Are you a Unicorn Pee fan or are you sick of all the frenzy around it? Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!
