Welcome to Shimmer Week on Gnarly Gnails!
The lovely Cindy of Shimmer was kind enough to send me a bucketfull of her beautiful polishes to review.
Since I had so many to work with I decided to swatch them a bit differently. Each of the 10 polishes I have to show you this week will be done as 50/50 Manicures so you can see the base vs. over the base, to see how well these cover. I will walk through the review picture by picture. Let's get started.

I'm swatching Nichole with a super gorgeous blue polish by Ruby Kisses called Dance with the Devil. |
Nichole Macro shot. Cindy from Shimmer calls Nichole 'Red, Silver and Blue Melange Glitter" - it is indeed filled with these colors, along with some complementary pinks and golds. |
Nichole was a glitter rich polish that bombed out in 1 thick coat, shown here. You simply do not need more than that! |
The formula was insanely awesome, like every single other one I swatched! |
This is one I am really excited to wear on it's own very soon! So much depth! |
Dance with the Devil was equally pleasurable to apply. 2 nice even coats for a stunning dark cobalt shimmer! |
Nichole was another awesome dream polish to apply. This was one of the more bombed out full on glitters. Shimmer can be found on Etsy and they retail for $12 per bottle.
Every swatch of Shimmers this week has been finished off with 1 coat of Gelous + 1 coat of Jordana Quick Dry Top Coat.
