Get ready to unleash your inner '80s icon with KBShimmer’s brand-new Mix It Up Collection! This vibrant lineup invites you to don your neon, pop in your favorite mixtape, and journey back to a time when big hair, roller rinks, and mall trips ruled the day. Launching on May 1st, this collection includes six bold crème nail polish shades and a glitter topper that’s hotter than your old crimper. These near-neon shades are ready to brighten up your spring and summer, so let’s dive into the nostalgic hues that will soon be gracing your nails.
Scratch That (Nail Polish Topper)
Description: Remember doodling all over your notebooks and textbooks? Scratch That brings those carefree moments back with a playful mix of black shred, dot, mini star, and hex glitters. This topper is best worn over any of the neon crème polishes from the collection, creating a graffiti-like effect that’s perfect for the artistic soul. A single coat, finished with Smooth Moves and Clearly On Top, gives your nails a polished, glass-like finish.
Type: Glitter Topper
Base: 5-Free
Glitter Load: Light
Glitter Size: Small-Medium
Recommended Coats: 1-2 over a solid creme nail polish
Notes: For best results, pull brush straight up from the bottle, dab glitter on, wipe brush, and spread glitter as desired. Follow with Smooth Moves then a quick dry top coat like Clearly On Top.
Mix It Up (Crème Nail Polish)
Color: Electric Pink
Inspiration: Boomboxes and mixtapes defined the soundtrack of our lives. Mix It Up channels this vibrant energy with an electric pink shade that leans more watermelon than bubblegum. Perfect for sandals and summer outings, this blacklight reactive polish needs just two to three coats for full coverage, drying slightly darker than it appears in the bottle.
Type: Creme
Base: 5-Free
Glitter Load: N/A
Glitter Size: N/A
Recommended Coats: 2 Coats
Notes: All photos are from the same batch, but lighting, skin tones and cameras may affect the brightness and tome. This is not a quick-dry polish, so it's recommended that you follow up with a coat of quick-dry top coat.
Totally Outrageous (Crème Nail Polish)
Color: Neon Red-Orange
Inspiration: From music videos to shocking award show moments, the '80s were totally outrageous. This neon red-orange crème polish captures that era’s bold spirit. Leaning slightly orange, this radiant coral shade is ideal for hot summer days and nights, offering full coverage in two to three coats and a striking look under black light.
Type: Creme
Base: 5-Free
Glitter Load: N/A
Glitter Size: N/A
Recommended Coats: 2 Coats
Let's Bounce (Crème Nail Polish)
Color: Chartreuse
Inspiration: A trip to the mall was a full-day affair, from fashion perusal to food court hangs. Let’s Bounce captures this vibe with a vivid chartreuse polish that straddles neon yellow and electric lime. This juicy shade is near crelly/jelly in formula and best applied in two to three coats. Use a blurring base coat if you prefer thinner layers to cover the visible nail line.
Type: Creme
Base: 5-Free
Glitter Load: N/A
Glitter Size: N/A
Recommended Coats: 2-3 Coats
Roll On By (Crème Nail Polish)
Color: Teal
Inspiration: Roller rink weekends and sticker-adorned jean shorts were summer staples. Roll On By is a true teal crème polish that blends green and blue perfectly. With just two coats, this shade offers full coverage, making it the perfect throwback to those fun-filled rink nights.
Type: Creme
Base: 5-Free
Glitter Load: N/A
Glitter Size: N/A
Recommended Coats: 2 Coats
To The Max (Crème Nail Polish)
Color: Cornflower Blue
Inspiration: The vibrant makeup of the '80s—bold blue eyeshadow and vivid pink lipstick—inspired To The Max. This cornflower blue crème polish leans slightly periwinkle, providing easy two-coat coverage. Follow with Clearly On Top for a high-shine finish reminiscent of those colorful makeup ads.
Type: Creme
Base: 5-Free
Glitter Load: N/A
Glitter Size: N/A
Recommended Coats: 2 Coats
Net Gains (Crème Nail Polish)
Color: Violet-Purple
Inspiration: Big hair and even bigger hairspray bills marked the '80s and '90s. Net Gains nods to those vibrant hairspray cans with an energetic violet-leaning purple crème polish. This shade dries down slightly darker and more blue-toned than it appears in the bottle, with two coats giving the best results. It’s a bit tricky to capture its true color in photos, but this purple polish is more stunning in person than any camera can show.
Type: Creme
Base: 5-Free
Glitter Load: N/A
Glitter Size: N/A
Recommended Coats: 2 Coats
