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.

| Shimmer Natalie is being paired up with Butter London All Hail the Queen. |
 |
| Dusty Blue, Copper and Turquoise Melange glitter is how Cindy of Shimmer describes this polish. Of course there is gold, silver and holo glitter at the LEAST included in this! |
 |
| I really love how these two polishes played off one anothers strengths. |
 |
| Natalie was very easy to apply, which as we know, is no surprise with the Shimmer brand. |
 |
| This is one heavy coat of Natalie over 2 coats of All Hail the Queen. |
 |
| All Hail the Queen by Butter London was also a dreamy polish to wear and apply - a must have for everyone I believe! |
Every Shimmer I have tried so far this week applies so easy and dries quickly. They do dry gritty, which is why each one I finish off with a coat of Gelous and then a standard Quick Dry top coat. Natalie is a stunning blue glitterbomb that you should not miss out on. Shimmer can be found on Etsy and they retail for $12 per bottle.
