KBShimmer is back for the October Polish Pickup: Moumantai Nail Polish

 Greetings, dear readers, and happy hump day! It's been a little intense around here between home schooling and monitoring my health as the days pass by this month, but thankfully October starts tomorrow and hopefully I'll have some good news to share. Cross your fingers for me and let's get to today's blog post!


The October Polish Pickup will be opening this upcoming Friday, and I know quite a few people are excited! After voting month after month, the winning theme for October is Animation, and indie brands sure have been strutting their stuff by showing their incredible creations! KBShimmer is one of the brands participating this month with her stunning nail polish, Moumantai.


Press Sample


Here is creator Christy Rose's insight on this beauty:


School can be stressful, even more so when you are finishing up college and working full time. Wanting to be an adult but still clinging to childhood, I woke up on Saturday mornings just to watch cartoons. A cartoon I loved to watch in 2001 was Digimon Tamers. The computers and electronics pumping out data formed a second world, a digital world. Through a computer program and evolution, digital monsters emerged, befriending kids and fighting other Digimon to save both worlds.


Moumantai is a catch phrase used by one of the Digimon meaning "take it easy".




Moumantai starts off with a deepened indigo base that falls between navy and purple depending on the angle and lighting. It is loaded with shifty flakes that run from lush lime green and turquoise into cobalt and gold. The consistency is very similar to my beloved jelly polishes, and it covers to opacity in two coats on my short nails.



I really love the look of this polish and found myself constantly moving my fingers and inspecting how the looked! While there certainly are a lot of flakes to admire, they didn't impede application in the slightest! There may be the occasional flake to push back up onto a nail or remove if it is hanging off, but the nail polish still flowed beautifully off the wide brush. The flakes do give your nails a slight textured finish, and I needed to use two coats of KBShimmer's Clearly On Top top coat to obtain a smooth finish on my nails.


Moumantai will be available for purchase through the Polish Pickup website only from this Friday, October 2nd through Monday, October 5th. It will retail for $10 per bottle, and there is no limit to the number of bottles available for purchase.

Please keep in mind that all Polish Pickup purchases are preorders and to allow three weeks for shipping.

Are you ready for the Polish Pickup? What have you added to your wishlists? I'd love to hear from you!

Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful day!
XO!

  1. How pretty. You reminded me that I haven't worn my last KBShimmer polish from PPU so next manicure is it. They wear so well on me.

    1. Same for me! My hands are always busy so I'm rough with polish, and KBShimmer is one of the few brands that wear like iron on me.
