KBShimmer: Suns Out Tri-Thermal Collection

*Press Sample

The KBShimmer release this month is one of the funnest collections I’ve had the privilege of swatching. The Suns Out Collection features nine polishes that are all tri-thermals with aurora shimmer. Perfect timing to liven up the rising temperatures!

Overview

The Suns Out Collection is an absolute dream! Application is flawless and the formula is great. Each polish has a unique set of colors for transitioning. You all know how much trouble I have sometimes with thermal polish. So I went the extra mile to make sure I could show you each and every color in the bottle. It goes without saying my kids thought I was a little strange for having my hand wrapped in a heating pad multiple times a day. That being said, I wore a couple of the colors overnight and to my pleasant surprise I was able to get transitions naturally.

*Please note, bottle and brush macros are taken at various stages of warmth so color depends on which stage of transition it’s caught.

My Favorite: My first thought would be to jump for my normal color range which would be, Just Glow With It. But I truly fell in love with the uniqueness and diverse colors of Best Buds.

Release Information: The Suns Out Collection release on Friday, May 10th at 10:00 am eastern time on the KBShimmer website. Colors will be priced at $11 each.
