KBShimmer ~ Rust No One
Orangy red linear holo
I thought I might as well show you the other KBShimmer I bought from the
Autumn 2014 collection, Rust No One. I wasn’t quite sure whether to get this
one or not, since the “Rust” in the name made me think of Autumn-y colours, and
my skin tone isn’t fantastic with that colour scheme.
But since I’ve recently developed a love for orange polishes I thought I
might as well bite the bullet and buy this one as well. Up and Cunning (that I
showed you yesterday) was thrilled to be able to travel with her sister, so
that’s perfect, really.
Anyway – I went for a Hawaiian mani this time. I know it’s winter in the
northern hemisphere where I live, but there are definitely places where it’s
warm now. So there you have it! :) I’m
going to show you my final mani first:
See? Double stamping, Hawaiian flowers, leaves and hand signs!
The base colour, Rust No One, is an easy to work with polish. It’s
almost a one coater. I applied two, and it makes a liiiiittle difference in
depth, so I recommend two coats. Drying time is fast, no worries in that
department. Here’s what two coats and no topcoat look like:
I must admit that I am really happy I bought this. It’s a lovely orange!
Here is what it looks like in my light box. It doesn’t look rusty at
all, I’m very pleased!
I stamped with red first – a motif I found on the Q-girl010 stamping
plate, and I stamped with Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri “Rapid Red”. Here is that
step:
I like the way the red lines enhances the red in the KBShimmer polish!
Then I stamped the flowers, the leaf and the hand sign – I found those
motifs on Moyou London’s stamping plate Tourist Collection-17.
This mani is not very typical for me, but I like it anyway. The colour
isn’t my favourite colour, but then again, they can’t all be. I wore it for a
day, and I wouldn’t have if I didn’t like it.
Number of coats: 2

quality polish, nice rainbows!

I'm not sure I could pull off this particular kind of orange, but I do like it on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm really glad to hear that :)
DeleteLovely holo effect, it isn't my shade but it looks cute :) Hawaii, yes, that's what I need - snow outside :(
ReplyDeleteNo, I know it's not your shade. It is not quite mine either, but I'm trying to widen my horizon here :D
DeleteI hate snow! :( It's rain here. I don't like that either, but it's at least better than snow :D
Actually I liked this colour more than I thought I would. I think its cause its not too brassy if that makes sense. Where did you buy your KB shimmers? They have awesome rainbow and yesterdays teal was stunning. I liked your double stamping, maybe that's why I liked the colour.
ReplyDeleteI buy my KBShimmers at Harlow and Co, I like shopping there. They ship from Canada.
DeleteNot too brassy makes total sense! The double stamping does make a difference, it makes the red in the orange stand out more :)
I like it, there is something lovely about it :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is special for sure :)
DeleteThat holo <3!!! Lovely stamping :)
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty, isn't it :) And thank you :)
DeleteThis polish practically glows! The color is very nice on you!
ReplyDeleteIt does! It's really glows and I like that :)
