Another "boyfriend mani" for today. This time, he chose two KBShimmer polishes.
My base color is I'd Rather Be With Blue (Blogger Collaboration Winter 2013 Collection, created by Cosmetic Sanctuary), a light blue with silvery white flakes. I'd rather be with blue dries to a satin matte finish. Three thin coats provided opacity, no issues to report.

Then I added one coat of I Only Have Ice For You (Blogger Collaboration Winter 2013 Collection, created by Chalkboard Nails), a clear base with silver holographic hexes in two sizes plus white flakes.
At first I planned a glitter gradient, but after two nails I realised the base color was too light to really show the gradient. So I ended up using I Only Have Ice For You over my complete nails. It didn't dry gritty at all, so one coat of Rica Glossy Glam was enough for a completely smooth finish.

KBShimmer polishes are sold on their website (US only) and at Harlow & Co. The Blogger Collaboration Collection seems to be partly discontinued, I couldn't find these two shades anymore.
