KB Shimmer - Showgirl

KB Shimmer - Showgirl is a black jelly base packed with pink and holographic glitters in all shapes and sizes. It's quite sheer on the first coat, pretty opaque in two coats, but I used three coats here for the best coverage and glitter depth. You could also layer it over black if you'd want a little less glitter.

I absolutely love the square holo glitters in this! Unfortunately I didn't get lots of them on this hand, only one on my index and some on my thunb. So you might need to fish some to get more of them.

I guess you've noticed the sad state of my nails nubbins, I had another nail break :'( This time it was my ring finger nail that broke pretty far down, I don't think I've hever this short nails! However I don't want another hiatus, and I was able to file all my nails more or less the same shape and length.

I had a completely different mani planned out, but when my nail broke I did not want to do it anymore, it deserves long nails... However, I'd been wanting to use Showgirl for quite a while, and I think short nails look best with dark colors, so this was the perfect opportunity! I guess it all sort of worked out in the end ;)

  1. How have I missed this one until now? It's stunning, and I agree, dark colours look great on shorter nails :)
