"The ocean and sea have long been sources of inspiration. For some, the blue waters inspire tales of fantastical creatures like mermaids and sirens wreaking havoc on those who set sail. Other sea-inspired souls may be tempted to brave the waters by diving below and seeking shipwrecks full of lost riches. Inspiration can even be found ashore, where vacationers prefer to explore the sandy beaches to find stunning shells or sip fruity drinks under the warm sun. This March, let KBShimmer take you on a trip with nine sea-themed nail polishes!" -KBShimmer

KBShimmer | Current Affairs
Described as a vibrant, Caribbean blue nail polish. An ultramarine blue base quickly flips to show off aqua hues. A scattering of holo glow flakes offers a subtle pop of sparkle like waves upon the shore. At some angles, hints of cobalt and turquoise appear. Shown here in 2 coats, plus top coat. If you have more of a free edge than I do then you may need 3 coats for full opacity. Formula was good and applied well. Dries with very subtle texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.
KBShimmer | Dressed To Krill
Described as a vibrant shifting fuchsia nail polish inspired by those crustacean-colored swimsuits. A pink-leaning red base amps up the fun fuchsia-to-violet shimmer in this lacquer. In bolder lightng, the polish color nears hot pink, while at other tmes, the coral and red-orange tones take over. Shown here in 2 coats, plus top coat. If you have more of a free edge than I do then you may need 3 coats for full opacity. Formula was good and applied well. Dries smoothly with no texture however a top coat is still recommended for a full, glossy finish.
