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!!

Nail Mail- KB Shimmer Magnetic polishes!
Loads of makers are coming out with magnetic polishes, and KB Shimmer has a whole collection of them! Also, they've just rebranded and redid their logo, and I like the change.
Also, suuuuuuper fast shipping! I ordered on a Thursday, got them the following Monday!! Amazing!!
So I got
No Comet, Orbits and Pieces, and Just a Phase- and I got the magnet too, love that it has a handle. I'm excited to try them! And she always has such super cute, punny names.
As I've said before, KB Shimmer was one of my first indie polish brands (along with ILNP), and I highly recommend them!
Live your life with love in your hearts and glitter on your nails!

2017 SPAMALAMA!!! KB Shimmer Holly Back Girl
KB Shimmer Holly Back Girl is a great Christmas polish!! Crellies are not always my jam, but this was great in 3 coats.
KB Shimmer and ILNP were my "gateway" indies, and I love most of my KB Shimmers. As I said, crellies are not always for me, but this was 3 thin coats and it was so fun for Christmas! Super cool, no nail art needed!!
I do find that I need to do super thin coats, and to trust that the polish will build up to what I want it to be for the end result, lol.
Live your life with love in your hearts and glitter on your nails!

Try it Tuesday- KB Shimmer Pink Tourmaline
Oooooh- I absolutely love the KB Shimmer Birthstone Polishes (they came out in January 2016). They are birthstone colored foiled types of polishes- easy in 2 coats. This one is Pink Tourmaline. I don't know why it took me so long to try this, I love pink polish!
I wore this on vacation at the beach- because these wear like iron, too! And I got a ton of compliments on it. It looked especially good when I had a little bit of a tan.
KB Shimmer was one of the first indie brands (along with ILNP) that I tried, and down the rabbit hole I went, lol. I really recommend the brand, and they're really reasonably priced.
