Try Another Thursday- KB Shimmer Orbits and Pieces

Magnetic polishes are a big thing now, and KB Shimmer put out a whole collection! I bought 3 of them. I really like KB Shimmer polishes, they were one of my first indie polish brands.

This is Orbits and Pieces. The magnetic effect was easy to get. I did buy their magnet with a handle, and that was easy to use.

This is 3 coats, I did 1 thin base coat, then a thicker coat and magnetized it while wet, then another thicker coat that I magnetized while wet. Then a coat of Seche Vite, and the magnet again, as the top coat can diffuse the magnetized effect.  Make sure you do one nail at a time, if the polish dries you won't get the magnetic effect.

You can see the pretty diffused effect, I'm pretty sure that's because I did 2 coats of polish, and then the top coat.







I love the dark background with the purple effect.



This was my second time trying a magnetic polish, the first was Tonic Happenstance. I'm not getting super crisp magnetic lines, mine are diffused, but I love the effect! I did buy an arc magnet on eBay, so we'll see what look that magnet gets me!

Here's a close up, and in this shot you can kind of see the greenish shift this polish has at extreme angles.


A hint I found with the magnets, if you don't have one with a handle, I bought one of those kneadable art erasers, and stuck the magnet in that to use. Then I stuck it to my light, so that all I had to do was hold my finger under the magnet (eliminating one set of hands that might shake holding the magnet, lol!).

Live your life with love in your hearts and glitter on your nails!!
