Yay! I love her polishes. I have on raspberry cabaret right now - it's so pretty.
My poor nails got reduced to nubs last week.  I can not wait to rock this polish on some nails with some length.  My entire office is decorated in neon green and hot pink as accents with gray and some black thrown in there too so I knew this would be my favorite polish ever just for that reason.  I did 2 coats over 2 coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and the pink (which looks more orange here thanks to my camera) is LA Colors Color Craze in Pink Bubbles and the green is also LA Colors in Mint.  For the thumb I used 2 coats of Mint then one of What's Your Damage and then another of green just over wherever the milky white polish showed and I tried to leave the glitter bits alone so they would stay pink and black.  It didn't come out exactly how I envisioned it but nice enough for me to not take off.  The stamp is BM303 stamped with Black Creme Wet n Wild Wild Shine. 

I am pretty impressed with the KB Shimmer polish.  I immediately redid my pedi and put on the other color I chose which is Totally Tubular.  I don't do glitter toes often but I loved it.  With the fall colors I have seen this is sure trending to becoming my favorite polish period.  I was afraid to try indie polishes because of the fact you have to order them online which I don't mind doing but I am such an instant gratification person.  I love stalking my beauty supply and favorite discount stores trying to score some great deal on polish I didn't maybe think I wanted at a ridiculous price.  Instead I may have to rethink my entire buying strategy and focus on say buying 2 indie polishes a week instead of a dozen $1 or $2 finds. 

(For some reason I can't get this to turn the way I saved it.)



Cute combo I love that glitter.

Thanks! I'm really happy with it, although I'm down to nubs (I feel for ya, Christa W!). I'm sorry the first too photos are so small, but if you click on them you can see the shade names and the full size. A few notes, because I just took these photos with my phone, so they are not so color accurate: The first one is more pink than the photo and has little iridescent blue flakes in it. The second one is a brown base and the sheen is more green than the photo. I like the third one, gold glitter, because it also has holographic medium hexes in it. The fourth one is perfect for autumn; the white base with orange, brown, and gold medium hexes and it has some bar glitter that I can't remember the color of right now. The last one is actually quite sparkly with red and I think berry medium hexes.

I'm jealous! I love caramel martini. I also got oblitus and nice list. My mail came super late (7pm!) so I haven't taken pics yet.

Thanks for the descriptions they are all really pretty I love the last one. I am down to nubs too. First I had two break one on a Monday and one on a Tuesday, then they were starting to grow but started peeling so I cut them off. They have been polish free for about 2 weeks all my friends are quite surprised my nails are plain. I assured them they will be back to their glitter glory soon enough lol. Hope yours grow back soon!

Well, maybe you'll get one that I like even more than Caramel Martini and we can work something out.

If it makes you feel any better, I just used up the last of my 200 swatch sticks and places an order for 50 more because I have a line of bottles on my desk waiting to be swatches. Hoping they are delivered when the husband is to home! Does a Helmer fit all bottles? The drawers didn't seem deep enough for so e of the tall brands.

Yes, that does make me feel better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> From what i've seen online, it seems to fit taller bottles. All of the pics i have seen show all bottles standing up, which is a good sign. I am looking for the dimensions so i can figure out where to put it in my house. Maybe i can find drawer dimensions too.

Helmer exterior dimensions: 11" W x 16 3/4" D x 27 1/8" H (although I think that's without the casters).  The drawers are just a shade under 3.5" tall, so if your bottles are the same height as or shorter than Julep bottles, you're good.  I'm not feeling up to pulling out a drawer and measuring the other interior dimensions (read: don't wanna empty a drawer out!).  Also, the Dread Kitten Edgar (he's almost two years old, but he acts like he's two months old) has decided he wants to cuddle, so I'm not dislodging him right now.

By all means do not disturb the kitten! I have a five month old kitty and he's too hyper to ever cuddle (except in the wee small hours of the morning when he wakes me up for pets. Or the big kitty wakes me up insisting she needs under the covers. Or the child wakes me up because she's "lonely". Good golly. No wonder my previous post was so error ridden!) Thank you so much for measuring and posting! Using a Julep bottle as a reference is extremely helpful. Off to line bottles up n the counter to compare heights /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with IloveNP line? I just discovered it other night and OMG just feel in love with the line. I plan to purchase some minis. She's kinda expensive; sadly. She's gonna be releasing these new beautiful holo polishes that looked like the infamous Clarins 320 'unicorn pee' polish.

These look so amazing. I had to pick one up.
