KB Shimmer - Electric Plum

Hi everyone!!!  Happy Friday!

I have a beauty to share with you that I got from an Etsy shop.  Let me just say that Etsy is addictive, so don't say I didn't warn you.  My polish friend, Crystal, mentioned this shop to me and being the pink/purple lover I am, I decided to try Electric Plum, a bright plum jelly with holographic microglitter.

The formula of Electric Plum was pretty good.  The first coat was streaky, but it leveled out nicely with the second coat.  It dries very quickly, but to a gritty finish, so top coat is very needed.  I first added a coat of Beauty Secrets Top Coat, but it ate the top coat.  So I decided to add a thick layer of Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat as well.

This is such a pretty polish.  I love the color, the glitter, everything about it.  So glad I have it.

Electric Plum can be found at Christy's Etsy Shop here.  The cost is $7.50 for a .5 oz bottle.

What do you think of Electric Plum?  Are you an Etsy junky like me?

      Sounds like you have the right idea hon! Just stay away because once you start, it's over.

    I try to stay away from Etsy, too many interesting things out there :-) (so far I bought there my Kindle cover, mineral make up, jewellery...), but this polish is really nice and looks great on you!

    Very pretty and so you! What's cool about these Etsy polishes is the fact that they are never boring or common.
