Shimmer - Strength

Press Sample

Hello everyone,

September is the month for PCOS Awareness month, so today I'd like to show you this gorgeous polish: Shimmer Strength. Strength was inspired by Nory of Fierce Makeup and Nails and donations will be made to charity with each sale of Shimmer Strength.

Polish used: Orly Gumdrop

Strength has mainly teal glitter with some silver micro glitter and some large silver hex and hearts. In the swatch above I applied 1 generous coat of Strength over Orly Gumdrop. For the index and pinkie fingers I applied white striping tape. 

This polish is really beautiful, it's just too bad that the larger silver hex and the hearts are really hard to get. After several attempts, I only managed to pick one heart with the brush and hardly any silver hex.

Shimmer - Julie

Press Sample

Hello again!

Today I want to introduce you to Shimmer Julie.

Julie is a colorful mix of glitters in different sizes and shapes in a clear base. This one is a true glitter bomb! Julie is such a beautiful and fun polish. It's like a rainbow in a bottle! The swatch above shows 2 coats of Julie over Illamasqua Prosperity.

I'll repeat myself again, because this applies to all Shimmer shades I've tried so far: Application is effortless and the glitter is easily and evenly distributed with each brush stroke. The glitters lay flat on the nail and they dry to a relatively smooth surface. It's not as gritty or rough as most glitter polishes of the same kind.

Shimmer - Katherine

Press Sample

Hi everyone,

I'm back with some more Shimmer Polish for you! Today's pick is Katherine.

Katherine is a mix of very fine gold/copper/bronze glitter. It's delicate and elegant. My original idea was to do chevrons with Katherine over Kiko #324 Dark Chocolate (the brown polish), but I wanted Katherine to stand out more, so I ended up doing a full mani. For the swatch above, I applied one very generous coat of Katherine over Kiko #324 Dark Chocolate.
