KBShimmer has an Early Summer 2014 Collection releasing VERY soon and I am so excited to have all 12 shades to show you today!

This 12 piece collection contains 3 cremes, 6 holographics and 3 bold textures.  This set is basically part one of the KBShimmer Summer release, as she will have another collection later this Summer as well!

Let’s start off with the cremes!

Let’s Not Coral

Let’s Not Coral is a pink toned coral creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Partners In Lime is a lime green jelly base with lime, aqua and gold holographic glitter.  This is a textured polish that can be smoothed out with 2 coats of KBShimmer Clearly On Top!  I used 2 coats of Partners In Lime for each photo.  The first set is left matte with no top coat.

Overview

Another gorgeous collection from KBShimmer!  All 12 colors has great application and stunning color payoff.  I really love that the linear holos were all neutral type shades, while the cremes and textures offered bold colors.  As always, the names are catchy and clever!

I used KBShimmer Clearly On Top fast dry top coat for all images with top coat in them.  If you put in an order, make sure to snag a bottle of that as well!

Price: $7.50 for Cremes and $8.75 for Holos and Glitters (base coat and top coat are $5.00 each)

Where to Buy: KBShimmer Website  and Harlow & Co

When To Buy: These will be available to buy on May 23rd

What did you think of the Early Summer 2014 collection?  I’m thrilled to see that KBShimmer is expanding her creme collection!  Can’t wait to see what else she has in store!

Brooke @ Blushing Noir May 11, 2014 - 6:16 am

So I read through this post and called out every single shade as my fave. Must have them all!

Lisa Heath May 11, 2014 - 12:39 pm

She does an amazing job, and it’s always so hard to narrow down favorites!

amber May 11, 2014 - 1:10 pm

normally i really enjoy kbshimmer’s collections and have a hard time narrowing it down to the just 2 or 3 choices i can afford each month, but I am not that impressed this time. a few of them look like they are simply textured repeats, and i can find almost identical creams from sinful colors…

while they are beautiful polishes, I think I will be skipping on orders for now.

Lisa Heath May 11, 2014 - 2:47 pm

It happens :) Not everything is going to be for everyone!

Painted Fingertips May 12, 2014 - 2:21 am

Stunning collection <3

Chrissy May 12, 2014 - 11:36 am

kristyn May 13, 2014 - 6:08 am

wow what a collection, I am pretty sure i love them all but must have the first three shades!

Ashleigh May 13, 2014 - 5:39 pm

I love your swatches! Would you say that “Low and Be Bold” is similar to Dior’s Sailor from this season? I’ve been lusting after that one but Dior is a splurge and this looks like a close dupe. *fingers crossed*
