KBShimmer Amethyst and Ruby swatches

I was one of the lucky winners of Helena/Lacky Corner's 4 year anniversary giveaway!

I won this set: ”Lackys Birthstone kit includes polishes that is inspired by the February and July's birthstones. February because it's the blog's birthday and July because that is my birth month.” – and I love it, thank you so much Helena!

The price also included a Mani shot, that I haven't tried yet, a really nice unscented cuticle oil - both from KBShimmer!

Amethyst:

KBShimmer Amethyst is the February birthstone, and described like this: Amethyst is a rich red toned purple loaded with metallic flakes.  A hint of holographic dust adds sparkle and shine to this polish.

I agree. It is very opaque in one coat, but this is two with a coat of Seche Vite.

Ruby:

KBShimmer Ruby is the July birthstone, and described like this: Ruby is a warm blue toned red loaded with metallic flakes.  A hint of holographic dust adds sparkle and shine to this polish.

It is indeed a gorgeous red, super blingy and intense, gotta love it! It is very opaque in one coat, but this is two with a coat of Seche Vite.

I love both, but my favorite is Ruby - whats yours, if you are able to pick ;)

Thank you once more Helena for this lovely price!

Lacquer Lust Amethyst and Sapphire swatches

Today I have swatches of two of the polishes from the Lacquer Lust Birthstone collection.

Amethyst:

Lacquer Lust Amethyst – the birthstone for February. It’s a slightly smoky blue-toned grape purple holo with a fairly strong effect, so yes I recognize the amethyst. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat. 

Sapphire:

Lacquer Lust Sapphire – the birthstone for September, my birth month. I have seen swatches of this featuring it as a sapphire blue. But my bottle is a very slate-grey blue with a slight green hue, and at least one other blogger features it like that – so I don’t know if there were two versions of it. It’s a fairly strong holo and it has beautiful blue shimmers. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat. 

Do you like them - and do you have a favorite?

My favorite is Amethyst - I had hoped Sapphire was more like a sapphire...
