It has been an absolute donkey’s age since I’ve purchased a treat for myself (been lean this spring and summer as we recover from all this reno business) and even longer since that treat was nail polish. I think the last new shades I purchased were these Polished For Days lovelies in April of 2018.
But in the aftermath of the renos, I binned a ton of cruddy, dried-out old polishes, some duds I never quite found a use for, but also a few discontinued favourites that simply couldn’t be salvaged. The kind of glitter-intensive polishes I favour don’t hold up very well to the rigors of time and use (and BOY, have I used the heck out of those polishes!) I was sad to see them go, but excited to re-organize my polish collection in this sweet little rolling cart my mom nabbed from IKEA.
Anyhow, it was time to call in some reinforcements on a couple of fallen comrades (been watching Stranger Things much?), so I placed an order with Kitchener company Harlow & Co. for a trio of KB Shimmer polishes, including this indigo blue stunner, Regal-ize It.
Pretty, isn’t she? This polish is Finger Candy catnip, from the lush jelly base, to the rich violet hue, to the smattering of golden holographic glitter that glimmers within its squishy, jewel-toned depths. Brings out in the romantic in me, too. 😉 I also just like KB Shimmer polishes. They’re of really great quality (I tossed just one KB in The Great De-Polishing, and that’s because it was five years old and a dried-out quarter full) and they’re always trying something just a little bit different. Which includes an update to their branding and packaging.
Regal-ize it is just lovely, and a lot more subtle than I was expecting from a golden glitter-studded purple jelly polish. A bit of a chameleon, too, changing from a clear, indigo blue to a velvety purple depending on the lighting conditions and the time of day. So more bang for your buck, and another winner from KB for me. 🙂 Looking forward to sharing the other two with you soon.

I have been loving the holographic sparkles lately and coupled with that blue color your nails look gorgeous! 💙💙

Hey, I know that Ikea cart! However, I know it’s other life as the #bookstagram cart, with hot and heavy posting as a rolling TBR shelving unit, but I admire this usage and I am so very jelly of yours. Happy to see you treating yourself a bit, that’s a yummy looking polish. It’s funny because I’m beginning to recognize your polish type and this is most def it-to me, Finger Candy equals KB Shimmer beauties. I hope you acquire royalties.
In other news, guess what your slacker friend just finished watching? Off to comment on your most recent ST post…
Ha, of course it’s a book cart! Also a beauty cart. Just about every salon I’ve ever been in has a bunch. It’s so much easier to see what I have this way.
I so have a polish type, and good on you for knowing what it is! Big glitter times.
