KBShimmer Don't Teal Anyone

Today I have KBShimmer Don't Teal Anyone, the third and final polish that I got from the brand for Christmas.

Don't Teal Anyone is a dark teal crelly base loaded with gold, blue, teal, navy, and fuchsia hexes in multiple sizes, as well as micro fuchsia bar glitter. It is so gorgeous! The colors together are a match made in heaven. I love how they pop against the dark base. As for the bar glitter, I know many people aren't a fan, but these are teeny tiny. I wish my photos could capture how dark the teal base is. This is another fantastic formula from KBShimmer. It spread evenly and it was easy to control. It was almost opaque in two coats, but a third was needed. I used a coat of Gelous and Orly Sealon, which made it completely smooth.

Don't Teal Anyone is another stunner from KBShimmer. Aside from Elle, this is my favorite. It's safe to say that I'm completely in love with the brand. I'm so happy with the ones I have and I can't wait to make another order with them.

You can purchase KBShimmer from their Etsy shop here and their website here. They cost $8.75 for a full sized 15ml bottle.

Sinful Colors Rise and Shine

Today I have Sinful Colors Rise and Shine. After putting it on, I remembered the drama surrounding the brand a few weeks ago. I don't condone what they did, but I'm glad that they apologized and owned up to their mistake. Regardless of what happened, I still love them. I've had Rise and Shine for a while, but never took the time to wear. I'm so glad I finally did!

 
It's a blue/green teal polish with fine silver shimmer. It's really bright and vivid, but it's not a neon. It goes on creamy but it dries with a satiny, matte finish. It was kind of hard to photograph correctly. It's not exactly color accurate. It's darker and more vibrant in person.

It was super easy to work with and it was nearly opaque in one coat, but a second was needed. The drying time was some what fast. As pretty as it was as a matte, it's so much better with top coat!

 Here it is as a matte:

I absolutely love Rise and Shine! I think it's a must need from Sinful Colors.

China Glaze Techno Teal

When the China Glaze Tronica collection was released, I bought a few since I had sadly missed out on OMG and Kaleidoscope. Apparently people were disappointed in it because the polishes weren't as holographic. That may be true, but I think they're beautiful and deserve more love. Today I have one of them to show you. It's Techno Teal, a teal polish with a scattered holographic effect.

All photos were taken without topcoat. As you can you see, the holographic effect is subtle. Personally, I would love for it to be like an OMG or a Kaleidoscope, but it's still beautiful none the less. I love that it's so rich and vibrant.

The formula is really great. It goes on creamy and dries SUPER fast. It was practically dry to the touch a minute later. Opacity wasn't an issue either. I only needed two coats for full coverage. Great formula makes a polish even better.

I love Techno Teal even if it doesn't have a super strong holographic effect. It's gorgeous regardless, as are the other colors. I think the collection is pretty hard to find now, but give them a chance if you can!

Sephora by OPI: Tempted By Teal

Tempted by Teal is my first Sephora by OPI polish. It's from their Garden of Good & Evil collection. My mom was nice enough to get it for me while we were both at Sephora for my free birthday gift back in September. It was either this or Looks Like Rain Dear, which I've been wanting for a while, but since this one was limited edition, I figured it was the better choice. And it's beautiful too, so no complaints here.

As you can tell from the name, it's a teal polish and it's a metallic. Looking at the bottle, there are streaks of gold in it, but that's really only for the metallic finish. Sometimes, I did see bits of gold on the nail, but it's not super noticeable. 

It's kind of blah and boring in the shade, but in the sunlight, that's when it really comes alive and shines. It's super beautiful. I hardly have many pictures in the shade, compared to how many I have in the sun. And there are a lot of pictures in this post, just to warn you.

I don't own any metallic polishes besides this, so I don't know if all of them are opaque but I'm pretty sure this one was from what I remember. I think I did about two coats, but then again my brain is a bit foggy.

Here are some bottle shots. You can really see the gold that I was talking about. Excuse the smudge on the cap. I stupidly smeared my finger against it when I was painting another nail.

Now some shade pictures. Not every exciting, but still a nice color.

See, the sunlight brings out all the magic!

This was a nice way to go for my first Sephora by OPI polish. I wouldn't exactly call this color unique as I'm sure there are many dupes for it, but for my collection, it was. So if you are lacking a metallic polish in your collection, this is a nice way to start. Thanks for reading!
