KBShimmer Holly Back Girl

Happy Friday everybody!
Are you looking forward to the weekend as much as I am? I'm going to have drinks with friends on both days and I'm hoping to finally buy the perfect nude lipstick to go with my smokey eye for Christmas. I'm trying falsh lashes for the first time and boy, do I need to practice more! If any of you have the perfect nude lippie for fair skin, I'd love to hear them, I do need a bit of color though, pale colors make me look even paler.

Anyway, on to today's gorgeous polish :D

KBShimmer Holly Back Girl is Christmas in a bottle! A white crelly base, packed to the rafters with red and green glitter. Every time I see this polish or paint my nails with it, I catch myself singing I ain't no Holly back girl... Luckily, I really like that song!


The formula is really nice, it's opaque on its own in about 3 coats, but I like it best layered over just 1 coat of white, to get the base a really stark white color. It dries fast and the glitter come out easily, no need to fish at all!


As I said, I layered it over a single coat of white. It doesn't matter if that coat is patchy or uneven, the crelly base is opaque enough to even it out, it just makes the white stand out more. When applied without a white base, it looks a bit yellow in some lights and I prefer the starkness.


Isn't that a beauty? I haven't decided what my Christmas day mani is going to be, but this is on the shortlist! I love it on its own, but I also love it paired with red or green. However you decide to wear this polish, you'll end up with Christmas on your nails!

This polish (and other gorgeous polishes, like Run! It's the Coppers!) can be purchased on the KBShimmer website (US residents only) and Harlow&Co (international).

Have you decided on what to wear on Christmas Day yet?
