KB Shimmer- When the Doves Sigh

   
     Today I have for you swatches of KB Shimmer's When the Doves Sigh. Part of the Winter 2013  Collection, When the Doves Sigh is a grey crelly polish filled with fuchsia circles, square and hex glitters.  Turquoise, sapphire, and chrome hexes, micro glitters, and circles mixed with micro holographic sparkles.

Grey-Crelly-Mulit-Gliter-Nail-Polish

     Show here with 2 coats plus top coat. The application was a surprise for me. The consistency was a little on the thin side, but not so thin that I had any issues. There was no pooling at my cuticles and I didn't have to fish around for glitters.

     When the Doves Sigh dries to a slightly textured, semi-gloss finish. I used Girl on the Run from Pure Ice to smooth everything out and give it a super shiny look.
     You can still pick up a bottle of When the Doves Sigh from KB Shimmer for $8.75 a bottle if you'd like to add it to your collection. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

  1. I like how the fuchsia circle glitters pop off from the grey base here.

  2. Isn't it nice when you don't have to fish for glitters? That seriously makes all the difference to me with a glitter polish!

    1. I love that I didn't have to fish for glitters. And I was shocked that I didn't with this polish being thinner than my other glitters. Maybe KB is on to something with the thinner formula?

    1. I'm kind of kicking myself for waiting so long to get it. It's different from anything I have in my collection and now I want more like it.

  4. Anything with square glitter in it has my immediate love. I also really like the colour palette of this polish - those colours come through so nicely on the grey! Great polish. :)

  5. I really love this one! I'm not usually not drawn to grey polishes, but the more and more that I see this one, the more I want it.

    1. I'm a little weary of grey polishes too. You never know how dark they will be on the nail. The brighter glitters in this help keep it on the lighter side. I'm really glad I finally gave in a picked it up.

    1. I usually stray away from grey polishes, because I feel like they can get too dark but this one is great. The color combination of glitters really makes it interesting. And I LOVE that I didn't have to fish around for them!

  7. I love KBShimmer polishes so much because I can wear gorgeous glitter bombs but not have to deal with a bunch of application issues! I always tell myself that I don't need this polish but I think I need to stop lying to myself and get it haha! Lovely swatches (:

    1. Thank you. I have only just started my KBShimmer collection. But the ones I have used so far I have loved. I'm completely kicking myself for not getting Run It's the Coppers yet. Fingers crossed there's still a bottle left when I go off my no buy.

  8. I don't have too many of KBShimmer crelly, but any crelly glitter that doesn't require fishing is good in my book! This looked great on you!

    1. You're welcome. I agree that the color combination of the glitters with the grey base make for a great combo.

  12. It's such a great combo, a bit Fall-ish to my eye, so perfect for the next season!

    1. I can completely see the fall vibe this gives. It was after all inspired by the look of chunky sweaters.
