*The following products were sent to me by Shimmer Polish in exchange for my honest review.

I have my last batch of Shimmer Polishes to show you! Again, I'm very impressed with these! I love great glitter bombs.

Fanny over Cult Nails Nevermore

Fanny is a mix predominantly purple and pink glitters in a clear base.

Katie over Cult Nails Nevermore

Katie is a mix of gray, green, and pink glitters in a clear base.

Mary over Cult Nails Nevermore

Mary is a mix of red, silver, and black glitters in a clear base.

Colors: This is another great mix of colors. I love how all the colors in each shade compliment each other nicely. The combinations look uniform, but are fun at the same time.

Formula: I used 2 coats over a base with all of these. I found them all to be easy to use and apply.

Price: These polishes are $12 and can be found on etsy. You can also purchase through Shimmer Polish directly via email. There are directions on her site on how to do so.

Overall: I love these glitters. I didn't have any issues with them, and the color combos are great!

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Paint Splatters

More Shimmer Polishes for you today! These sparkle and shine as pretty as the others!

Cindy over Cult Nails Nevermore

 Cindy is a mix of ruby red glitters.

Cristina over Cult Nails Nevermore

Cristina is a mix of forest green and fuchsia glitters. *Note I adjusted the hue of this photo to accurately depict the color since my camera had washed it out. 

Natalie over Cult Nails Nevermore

Natalie is a mix of dusty blue, copper, and gold glitters.

Colors: Beautiful mix of colors here again with Shimmer Polish. Cindy and Cristina are both so rich and vibrant. It's hard to beat great red and green glitters. Natalie is a beautiful mix of my favorite color combination usingt blue with warm metal colors.

Formula: The formulas were all easy to use. I used 2 coats over a base with each. These are full coverage glitters, but I find the process to go faster and they stand out better against a base.

Price: These polishes are $12 and can be found on etsy. You can also purchase through Shimmer Polish directly via email. There are directions on her site on how to do so.

Overall: More winners here from Shimmer Polish! These are standouts and all wonderful!

Shimmer Polish Jovie, Leslie, and Taylor

*The following products were sent to me by Shimmer Polish in exchange for my honest review.

Today, I have some more Shimmer Polish pretties to share with you!

Jovie over Cult Nails Nevermore

Jovie over Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac

Jovie is a mix of pink opalescent glitters in a clear base.

Leslie over Cult Nails Nevemore

Leslie is a mix of periwinkle and lavender glitters in a clear base.

Taylor over Cult Nails Nevermore

Taylor is a red jelly base with red, green, and blue glitters.

Colors: Lovely mix of glitter combinations in these three polishes. I love how multi-dimensional they are. Shimmer Polishes are not one flat color glitter polishes, they have multiple color glitters in them that make them stand out. It's hard to choose a favorite here!

Formula: I didn't have any difficulty with any of the formulas. Leslie is a little chunkier than the other two, but it still applied nicely. I used 2 coats for each swatch. I do recommend using a base with these as it allows you to use less coats to build up the glitter.

Price: These polishes are $12 and can be found on etsy. You can also purchase through Shimmer Polish directly via email. There are directions on her site on how to do so.

Overall: Jovie, Leslie, and Taylor are all awesome and unique glitter mixes. I love them!

Way-Cool Mani Wednesday: Out of this World

My favorite movie of all time is Contact. This movie is based on the amazing book Contact by Carl Sagan. This isn't your typical sci-fi action adventure. What I love about this film/book is how thoughtful and inspiring it is. The basic premise of this film is that earth is contacted by extraterrestrials, and it goes about the motions of our reaction and experience to this in a realistic way.

The grandeur and awe of our vast universe, and how precious and tiny we all in comparison, is just one of the beautiful and humbling concepts in this film/book. I cry every time I watch this film because it gives me hope that humanity will not only one day learn to love each other, but that we will continue to push ourselves to discover and explore our universe. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

In honor of my favorite movie and Way-Cool Mani Wednesday. I wanted to do mani inspired by it. The easy choice would be galaxy nails, but "I ain't got time for that"! Instead I chose to something that didn't involve nail art, but I think is clearly inspired by space.

Polishes Used:

China Glaze 2NITE, Claire's Galaxy, and Shimmer Polish Astrid.

Manicure Description: I pained my thumb, index, and pinky finger with ChG 2NITE. I painted my middle finger with Claire's Galaxy, and I layered 2 coats of Shimmer Polish Astrid over Cult Nails Nevermore on my ring finger.

I love my mani! I think I also captured a lot of the colors in the film cover.

I love a great galaxy manicure, but I think if you don't have the time or patience to recreate that, you can always look toward holographic polishes, holographic glitters, iridescent glitters, and black glittery polishes to help give off the space-themed without all the work!

Happy Wednesday!

Shimmer Polish Astrid, Jacki, and Nichole

*The following products were sent to me by Shimmer Polish in exchange for my honest review.

I have been fawning over Shimmer Polish for long a time now. What I love about Shimmer Polish is how it goes a different route than many other indies. Shimmer Polish tends to focus on fuller coverage fine and small glitter polishes. These polishes feature many different color combinations with glitter that create the perfect glitzy look. I have for you today, Astrid, Jacki, and Nichole.

Astrid over Cult Nails Nevermore

Astrid over Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac

Astrid is described as a amethyst opal mix of glitter. 

Jacki over Cult Nails Nevermore

Jacki is a deep violet jelly mixed with navy, red, and other multi-colored glitter. 

Nichole over Cult Nails Nevermore

Nichole is a mix of red, silver, and blue glitter.

Colors: I love these glitter mixes! These stand out, the combinations are fun, and they all create very different effects. Astrid is a real stunner for me here! 

Formula: All of these formulas were easy to use. I chose to do 2 coats over bases with these. While, with some of these you can build them up on their own, I think a backdrop really helps them pop against your nails. I was worried with these being glitter bombs the formula could be challenging, but this wasn't the case at all. Easy breezy!

Price: These polishes are $12 and can be found on etsy. You can also purchase through Shimmer Polish directly via email. There are directions on her site on how to do so. 

Overall: These are pretty spectacular. I do not own any other indie glitters like this, and I have over 200 indie polishes. These have the same thing going for them like those great glitter bombs OPI had in 2010. Shimmer Polish has tons more awesome glitters, and with better formulas though. These are well made, beautiful, and I'm very impressed!
