Polished Peripherals: GMU Friday KBShimmer Band Geek

GMU Friday KBShimmer Band Geek

Another Friday another glitter bomb :) For this Glitter Me Up Friday I chose KBShimmer Band Geek.

I am definitely not a band geek, there is no musical talent in this family, but I love this polish. It's a black jelly base with lashings of silver, gold and copper glitter. The black jelly is wonderfully opaque in 2 coats without burying the glitter. There is so much depth to this glitter.

This is 2 coats with a topping of Seche Vite. Fabulous glitter spread and nice and smooth with the top coat. Unfortunately the Seche Vite is already causing shrinkage. It wasn't so bad when I took these photos last night but today (Saturday morning) I can feel all the edges lifting.

These photos are taken indoors with bounced flash because by the time I had the kids out of the way and my nails dry there was no natural light left.

Please ignore the hints of green on my ring fingernail. I sandwiched some large iridescent glitter in there for green sparks but it doesn't work the way I though it would and doesn't show unless the flash hits it. It does match Crichton's eyes though :)

Do you think Crichton approves of Band Geek?

Maybe he just likes the smell of my KBShimmer Lavender Vanilla Whipped Shea Butter :)

I got my KBShimmers from Harlow & Co because the KBShimmer Etsy store doesn't offer international shipping for polishes. You can still get her soaps, bomb, balms, butters and lotions from Etsy though and I love the Lavender Vanilla Whipped Shea Butter. OMG it smells divine! I'm a fan of lavender, I have to be, it's my name :)
