KBShimmer Holiday/Winter Collection Press Release

Hi loves! 

 Please enjoy the following press release from KBShimmer. Oh and did you know that this holiday you can wear a shade created by Christy and I!!! This is a dream come true for me!! Merry Pinkmas is actually a polish now and I hope you guys love it as much as I do!! We really had a lot of fun working on this collab! Merry Pinkmas was inspired by my yearly Pinkmas posts where I take the Christmas mani and make it girly and Pink. So naturally I was inspired by the concept of a "girly and sweet" Christmas polish that strayed from the norm. I am so in love with it. I really hope you guys love it as well! Christy perfectly captured my vision. 

All of these shades will be available on November 1st, I'll have swatches up *hopefully* next week of everything!
