Swatch & Review: KBShimmer Shipwreck

Today, I’ve got my first KBShimmer polish to show you! This is Shipwreck, a sheer teal jelly FULL of different sizes and colours of glitter. You can see the amazingness of this glitter in my macro below 🙂

I decided to give it try and I found the formula pretty sheer. Initially, I was quite disappointed as I didn’t have the right base colour to layer over. However, I wasn’t ready to give up on it just yet.

After the 4th coat, I still saw a visible nail line underneath, but I could see the potential that awaited me if I had a navy blue or black colour to layer over. I knew it would make the glitter pop so much more.

Despite this, I was impressed with how easily the formula applied and how well the glitter was distributed in the multiple coats. What I didn’t like was the gritty texture of the polish, so to ensure a smooth finish, I used a thick layer of an old topcoat before applying my usual Essie Good to Go.

All-in-all, I came out loving this polish and highly recommend it! If you don’t have a similar colour layer to apply underneath the polish then I think it’s so worth layering the coats on!

What do you girls think? Are you a fan of KBShimmer?
