KBShimmer Got It Sandaled

Got It Sandaled was released in March this year by Indiana-based indie polish maker KBShimmer as part of the Nauti by Nature collection. Described as a deepened lavender with pinky violet shimmers, the color is a medium creamy floral lavender or amethyst with a slight blue lean and a certain dusky quality, a cloudy, soulful color that's kind of like a shadowy tropical indigo. Swimming within are abundant fine pink shimmers, which glow in a pink lavender hue through the base and give the polish a luminous transparent pink sheen. They brighten considerably in the sun, emerging from within the cloudy base as a plume of glistening pink particles along the axis of light. 

Application was great! The consistency of Got It Sandaled is fluid and creamy with a medium viscosity and a plush, fluent glide over the nail that self-levels like a dream. Pigmentation is very good, delivering evenly opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is easy. Got It Sandaled dries naturally in good time to a smooth, slightly flat finish. Topcoat adds a becoming gloss and accentuates the presence and effects of the shimmers.

Though not as showy as some of the other polishes in the Nauti by Nature collection, I love this creamy, cloudy variation of violet with its glowing purpley-pink shimmers. Elegant and super flattering on the nail, it is a fantastic alternative to brighter shades and pastels for spring, and resonates beautifully with the seasonal purple colorway of wisteria, iris and azaleas. Very nice!

love,
