Pigment Of My Imagination & Myth You Lots - KB Shimmer

Press Sample

Hi!!

I have the new KB Shimmer multichromes to show you and I thought I might do them in their pairs. In the new Winter 2013 collection, there is a non-holo and a holo version of each of these multichromes. Let me start by saying, the shift on all of these is so strong and so beautiful. I'm starting today with 'Pigment Of My Imagination' and 'Myth You Lots'. Fair warning - there are quite a few pictures in this post :)


'Pigment Of My Imagination'

This is 'Pigment Of My Imagination'. There are so many colours that this polish shifts to. Let's have a look through them all.

Most commonly, in normal lighting, 'Pigment Of My Imagination' shows as purple or blue. This electric blue comes out in slightly brighter light.

At certain angles, 'Pigment Of My Imagination' becomes a beautiful pink or even a cranberry, almost red colour. So rich and beautiful.

At extreme angles, the most intensely beautiful copper comes out. It appears like a gorgeous burnt orange in this photo, but in the first photo you can see how bright and golden it can appear. This is my favourite side of this polish, when that suddenly catches your eye as you move about.

This is 'Myth You Lots'. It has the same shifts as 'Pigment Of My Imagination', but with holo in it. I love this one so much. The holo is that linear, but a little scattered type that I love. It's quite present even in lower lights. The holo pigment lightens the polish up a little.

The formula of both of these was very easy to work with. Nice and thin, so spreads easily, doesn't pull and levels well. 'Pigment Of My Imagination' is a bit sheer, so I thought I may need to layer it over black. In the photos 2 of my fingers are 2 coats over black, and 2 of my fingers are 4 coats. I left it at 3 coats on my left hand and that was actually opaque. Basically, I don't think you need to layer them, as you can't actually tell the difference. 'Myth You Lots' is opaque at 2 thick-ish coats, but I have on 3 in these photos.

KB Shimmer is available from a number of places in the USA, have a look at the Locations page for a shop or event near you. For us international ladies, check out Harlow & Co (free shipping on international orders over $75!).
