KBShimmer Get Clover It

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have KBShimmer Get Clover It for you. This is from the spring collection and is available at their store if you live in the US, or at Harlow & Co if you are international.

GET CLOVER IT is an emerald green jelly shimmer base. Contains circle glitter in gold, green, and aqua. Photos shown are 3 coats with no undies. I still had some vnl, so I would layer it next time. If your nails are shorter you may not have this issue. Applied easily and wasn't top coat hungry.

On a side note, I would like to state that I love the new labels. All dark polish now has white lettering. So much easier to read then the black that they used to have. Lighter coloured polish still has the black lettering.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Black Sheep Lacquer Calm Like a Bomb

Wow, Calm Like a Bomb really is a glitter bomb for your nails!

This is a full coverage glitter polish. Full of blue, green, turquoise, and holographic glitter. Photos shown are 2 coats with some dabbing in a few spots to make sure there was complete coverage. Could also be layered, of course. This is a bit gritty because of all the glitter, but nothing a good top coat can't deal with. Black Sheep Lacquer can be purchased HERE. Polish is 3 free and cruelty free.

Sweetcheeks Polish - Jem, Synergy and Stormer

Hello my lovelies! I am very excited to share with you today a brand spankin' new indie polish maker! Please welcome $weetcheeks Polish to the wonderful world of indie polishes.

Steph, the creator, started making polish for friends and family and has decided to branch out into sales. All polish is big 3 free and cruelty free. Polish is hand poured so you can expect some slight variation between batches. Bottles will retail for $10.00 each and shipping is available everywhere. $1.00 from each bottle sold will be donated to the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue. (VOKRA) If you are interested in more information on this organization you can check out their Facebook page!

The line is set to go live on March 15th in $weetcheeks Etsy Store. Make sure to follow along on Facebook for updates and info as it becomes available.

INTRODUCING THE FIRST 3 POLISHES FROM $WEETCHEEKS POLISH JEM GLAMOUR & GLITTER COLLECTION. I have Jem, Synergy, and Stormer to review for you. The line will consist of 7 polishes in total. (I dare you not to get the theme song stuck in your head) Yes, all polishes are based on the cartoon from the 80's. Yes I remember this well. Yes, I am dating myself!  On to the polish...


First we have JEM, (the leader of the holograms). Jem has a clear shimmer base with deep pink and silver hexes, along with a few iridescent squares. Applied smoothly with no issues. Definitely not as thick as a lot of clear based glitters. This is by no means a glitter bomb. Much more subtle then it appears in the bottle. I have 1 coat layered over Cult Nails Tempest.

The Jem you (may) remember!

Up next is SYNERGY, (the computer that could project the holograms). Synergy is a silver holographic top coat. I have it layered over black to show off all the colour shifts in this. (there are a lot)! Photos shown are 1 coat of Synergy over NYX Black. Great coverage with 1 coat. A holo top coat is a must for this collection, don't you think!





Synergy the computer.

STORMER, (the nice misfit) is another clear shimmer base polish. Contains various size shredded glitter in icy blue and magenta, as well as micro glitter.  Again, great application. The base isn't too thick. Photos shown are 1 coat over base. The first pic shows it layered over Julep Morgan. I decided I didn't like it over the purple, so I then layered it over white. It shows up much better this way. Could easily be layered over just about anything!

Overall I really liked all 3 of these polishes. No problems with formula or application on any of them.
Remember to check out the $weetcheeks Polish store HERE and Facebook HERE. I can't wait to see what the rest of the collection looks like! 
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the post! 
And in case you don't have the theme song stuck in your brain yet, here ya go! (you're welcome)

***Update: More glitter is being added to the two glitter polishes, Jem and Stormer. Not enough that it will be a glitter bomb, just a bit more for better coverage. ***
