KBShimmer Don't Teal Anyone Swatches

Hey, guys!  Today I've got another "oldie but goodie" to share with you!  This is one that I've had trouble photographing in the past, but I think I finally got it this time.  Click through to see the rest of the swatches!

Sally Hansen Lickety-Split Lime + China Glaze Optical Illusion Swatches

Hey, guys!  I hope you're all enjoying the new update schedule.  I'm having a lot of fun with it, and I don't want to say too much, but I've got some cool stuff that I'm really excited about in the works.  Today I've got a bright, fun mani for you!

KBShimmer Pretty In Punk + China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald Swatches

Hey, guys!  Today I'm going to show you a fantastic multichrome holo from KBShimmer.  Sadly, this color is discontinued and out of stock, so it looks like the only way to get it at this point would be from a trade or blog sale.

KBShimmer Flannel Surfing + Rust No One Swatches

Hello, everybody!  Today I've got two polishes to show you from the KBShimmer Fall 2014 collection.  Right away when I saw the promo shots for this collection, I thought that these two colors would go beautifully together.

Update - Lots of New Stuff on the Way!

First of all, I want to let you guys know I signed up for Rainbow Honey's mini mysetery bag subscription.  After mulling over various beauty bag subscription services for awhile, I found myself swayed by Phyrra's Fails and Holy Grails of 2014 video and went with Rainbow Honey.  I received an E-mail yesterday telling me my first mystery bag was being processed for shipping (I didn't want to miss a month so I purchased the January mystery bag separately from my subscription), and I'm really excited for it to arrive!

 Next, I'm pleased to say that I ordered five more colors from Super Black Lacquers: Bruiser, Dusted, Rinse + Repeat, Blitz, and HBIC.  I always try to order five SBLs at a time because Natalie offers a discount of $1 per bottle when you order 3 or more, and $2 per bottle when you order 5 or more.  She also packages the bottles in a really cute, foil embossed box when you get five.  If you haven't tried Super Black Lacquers yet, there's a mystery gift box option that includes five assorted colors for just $45.  I have seven colors from SBL and they are all gorgeous.

And last but not least, I'd like to mention that there are only two days left in Zoya's New Year New Hue promotion.  You can get any three polishes plus a limited edition set of three minis for $15 shipping.  Plus when you select an additional $25 in merchandise your shipping is free.  I ended up taking advantage of this offer twice, so I'll essentially be getting 12 shades at half price plus six free minis.  What a steal!

And now that I've told you about all of the stuff I've bought lately, I'm going to tell you that I'm enacting a no-buy (the only exception being the Rainbow Honey mystery bags, which I hope will be enough to tide me over).  I've seen several bloggers talking about doing a 100 day no-buy, and I felt like that would be a really good idea for me.  My hope is that I can make it even longer than 100 days, but I have a feeling some Summer collections will be calling my name by then.  Only time will tell!

Editing to add: I just remembered I also picked up Clearly on Top, Jack, and Flannel Surfing from KBShimmer! Even more reason for me to be on a no-buy... -_-' But Jack is a LE color and I wanted to snag that while it was still in stock, so I feel pretty justified in that purchase.

KBShimmer Shipwreck Swatch

Hey, guys!  Sorry about the radio silence on my end...  If you're following me on tumblr, you'll know that my computer was down for quite awhile, which totally derailed my posting abilities.  But the computer is back up and running for the time being, so here I am today with a new post. This is a shade I've swatched before, but I wasn't happy with the way it photographed, so I'm re-swatching it.

KBShimmer Iris My Case Swatch

Let's just dive right in, shall we?

Savina Nail Color Famous Fuchsia + KBShimmer Squared Away Swatches

I'm so sorry I didn't get this post up on Monday, guys!  I was having major issues with retrieving my pictures.  I have a little netbook I bought a few years ago for a shortlived business venture.  The screen on my netbook cracked, and most of it is now black.  So I've stopped using it for the most part, and spend more of my computer time on the shared desktop, which is where I do most of my photo editing.  However, the shared desktop has decided it no longer wants to read SD cards, so I had to get on my netbook to get my pictures.  When I logged on at first, the internet worked, and then it stopped working and I had to troubleshoot and reconnect with less than half of the screen visible.  Then when I attempted to E-mail the pictures to myself so I could edit them on the desktop, I kept hitting my attachment limit because they were large images and I hadn't yet cropped them.  So then I also had to crop them with half of the (already quite small) screen.  So by the time I finished adding text and everything, it was late, and I was very frustrated.  So here it is, a couple days late.  Swatches after the jump!

KBShimmer Totally Tubular Swatch

So I just got three new polishes from KBShimmer for my birthday.  Two that I had been wanting for awhile, and another from this year's Summer collection that called out to me while I was perusing the site.  The latter is called Totally Tubular, and it's the first one I tried on.  Swatch and short review after the jump!
