This month KBShimmer celebrates 5 years in business! To celebrate this, Christy, the creative genius behind KBShimmer, has created a polish duo that will launch August 8, 2013. These two shades will be sold as a duo or separately and they consist of a purple satin matte shimmer, The Grape Beyond, and a clear-based glitter, Would Jubilee It?
Photos and review after the jump...
First up -
The Grape Beyond. This is a gorgeous medium purple satin matte finish polish with light blue shimmer. Formula and application were fantastic and I used two coats. There are photos without top coat and then with one coat of Poshe top coat.

And the glitter -
Would Jubilee It? This is a clear-based glitter full of metallic silver, fuchsia and aqua circle glitter as well as various sizes and colors of metallic hexes and short bar glitter. The formula on this one was great too - no issues at all. I didn't have to fish or or dab/place the glitters. They all came out nicely and laid flat on the nail. One coat over The Grape Beyond and one coat of Poshe top coat.

And just to see what it looked like over another color, I layered one coat over a manganese violet creme on the thumb...

What do you think? The Grape Beyond had me at purple, but the shimmer and finish make it extra special so if I could only pick one, it would be that one. But then...I am a sucker for circle glitter. All I can say is that you'll probably want both.
This duo launches August 8, 2013 on the KBShimmer site here or on the KBShimmer Etsy site here. I am sure they have more ways to celebrate surrounding the anniversary, so be sure and follow them on all social media so you don't miss out.
