Indie Sundays: KBShimmer - Make My Gray + Toucan Touch This

Hello lovelies!

It has been so long since I did an Indie Fridays Weekend post and I missed getting this up on Friday. So, you're getting it today! 

*All swatches shown with one coat of HK Girl.

First up is Make My Gray! This gray crelly is filled with pink, turquoise, light blue, and dark gray, hex glitters. It took three coats for this to reach opacity.

This polish is so pretty! I don't own many glitter crellies with gray bases like this and I think all of the ones that I do have are from KBShimmer, but I wish I had more. There are a lot of white base polishes like this but I think the gray base makes this so much more wearable with my skin tone!

Next up is Toucan Touch This!

I'm just going to start this off with an apology because this polish is discontinued so you won't be able to find it in the KBShimmer store. Anyways, Toucan Touch This is a lime green glitter crelly that is filled with bright orange, gold, blue, and green glitters. There is a combination of hex glitters and little tiny bars.

I'm showing you guys three coats of this on it's own, but I think I could have used another one. It isn't super noticeable in the photos but I feel like there are some spots that were a little uneven. Regardless, this polish is super fun! So fun that it might even be a little too much for me haha.

Onto the nail art!

I came across the design by Kanelimaa and it instantly made me think of this polish. So I decided to paint it on my nails!

These nails started with three coats of Make My Gray and a layer of HK Girl. Then using a striping brush and my acrylic paint, I painted on the little trees. Everything was sealed in with another layer of HK Girl.

Next up is Toucan Touch This!

This design isn't my best work but I like the idea! I swear that I've seen nail art like this before but I can't remember who did it. If you know someone who did something similar, let me know!

These nails started with three coats of Toucan Touch This and a layer of HK Girl. Then using a brush and acrylic paint, I added on the little triangles some of which got designs. Everything was sealed in with another layer of HK Girl.
