KBShimmer Nail Polish The Office Space Collection Swatches & Review

**press sample**


Hello, hello my friends! Hope all is well. I am slowly recuperating from this horrid cold, but today is a special day and I am so excited to share these pretties with you! Yesterday, January 4th, KBShimmer launched their newest collection and it is amazing! Here is, The Office Space Collection!
This 8 piece collection is perfect for when you want to rebel a little, but stay within the lines. These are described as naughty and neutral shades that are perfect for the office-you get color and sparkle on your nails, while keeping your boss happy. So without further ado, lets get into some swatches!

Take Back CTRL
Take Back CTRL is a dusty rose, mauve leaning creme. She is described as the perfect punch of pink for the workplace. Swatches show two coats plus KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat.



Supplies Party
Supplies Party is a warm cream liquid metal, aka Birthstone Finish, loaded with metallic flakes and holo sparks. She is described as a color that will make even the 5th meeting of the day seem enjoyable. Swatches show two coats plus Clearly On Top top coat.



Staple Relationship
Staple Relationship is a deep grey crelly with purple undertones full of silvery flakes and holo sparkles. She represents those days when it seems like the stapler is the best work relationship you have, until you cast your eyes on this metallic shade on your tips. Swatches show three thin coats plus Clearly On Top top coat.



Makin' Copies
Makin' Copies is a pale silver filled with white shimmer and linear holo sparkles. She's said to really show her sparkles when the light from the copy machine hits. Swatches show three thin coat and Clearly On Top top coat.



Fax of Life
Fax of Life is a platinum grey linear holo. She's described as being perfect for a sparkly grey manicure both indoors and out! Swatches show two coats plus Clearly On Top top coat.



Cubicle Pusher
Cubicle Pusher is a muted holographic grape polish. This polish will make your nails the one topic of conversation you don't mind if your cubicle neighbor hears! Swatches show two coats plus Clearly On Top top coat.



Caught on Tape
Caught on Tape is a pale mauve creme. She's described as a trendy pale shade that will make your nails pop on even the worst security camera. Swatches show two coats plus Clearly On Top top coat.



A Hint of Manila
A Hint of Manila is a soft tan mega flame with holographic sparkle. She's described as vanilla but not boring, and will make filing a pleasure. Swatches show three thin coats plus Clearly On Top top coat.



The formulas on all the polishes were really fantastic. They all applied really easily and gave zero issues. I do highly recommend letting each coat fully dry before moving on to the next when using the polishes with glitter and flakies, to insure the best possible application. For all swatches I used KBShimmer's Fillin' Groovy Ridge Filling base coat and Clearly on Top quick dry top coat.

I really enjoyed this collection a lot. The colors are beautiful and unique, definite must haves for the workplace and more. This collection is available now for $9.25 on the KBShimmer website. Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to let me know which pretties you decide on picking up. Until next time my friends!

Born Pretty Store Review: Holographic Nail Foils

Greetings my polishes lovelies! Hope your week was wonderful and you're enjoying your weekend! Today I have another item for you from Born Pretty Store, Holographic Nail Foils, item #21772.

Click here to view and/or buy this item.

This particular set has silver holo graphic leaves on it. Perfect for fall! It comes package in a small, easy to open container. There is quite a lot of product in these tiny containers, which is great as you may have a few trial and error experiences. I will start this review by suggesting you acquire proper foil glue before using these. I followed the instructions provided on the website, which indicated that it was possible to use just regular nail polish. While this was somewhat true, I can't help but think proper glue would have lead me to be much more successful with this. Here is the result of my first attempts using the foils:

Polishes used: Loaded Lacquer Coffee Collection Mystery, Dream Polish Smooth Gem Base Coat, KBShimmer Clearly On Top Top Coat

As you can see, not a very successful attempt. Frustration set in quickly as you can imagine. What did transfer looks cool, so I kept hope alive and changed my game plan a bit.

Polishes used: Candied Apple Polish Burnt Rasberry, Creative Cuticles Nail Polish Megan, Dream Polish Smooth Gem Base Coat and Gem Glam Top Coat

Success! After talking to some fellow bloggers and getting their advice, I changed how I applied the foils. I created decals by painting a thick coat of the base polish over the design I wanted, and let it dry before peeling it off and applying to my nail. So much easier!


The pinky nail decal unfortunately lost the holo effect when I applied a layer of top coat to expedite the drying time. Lesson learned! Overall, the design is very cute and I like how it looks on the nail. 


This decal I used no top coat at all. However, I believe some of the holo effect got rubbed off in transition. Overall, it's a nice design and I like how it looks. 

This is a very cute and unique product. Another great and relatively simple way to add nail art. The roll has a lot on it, so plenty to do a lot of manis! I plan to try these again in the future with proper nail glue. I truly think this will make a huge difference and make using them much easier. 

Have a fantastic weekend my polished lovelies!!
