I love a good orange and today I've got a gorgeous little glistening glitterbomb for you from none other than one of my fav indie polish makers - KBShimmer! This one is a real beauty too! Orange-A-Peel is a bright neon orange polish, part of a six piece summer neon set, packed with various sized orange, pink, and white hex and white bar glitters. In a word OAP is DENSE as glitterbombs tend to be. That said the formula is smooth like butter and easy to apply with no need for fishing for pieces of glitter.

| Isn't this just such a fun bright nami? And look at all the pink glitters in OAP! |
I layered this over Essie's Marshmallow to make the neon even MORE neon. You do need to wait about 5 mins in between coats otherwise the polish drags. I also did a little colorblocking using Essie's Lights and Action and finally added some microbeads and tiny little hot pink butterflies to the mix.

I am not at all happy with how the microbeads turned out - I accidentally knocked my hand before the topcoat set and they moved (boo!). I still thinks it's cute-ish though...

| It's super bright in this pic! Lol! |
So here we have it yet another indie brand that I love. And yes, I know I really darn well need to get my haul posts done (cringe). I keep popping up out of nowhere with these polishes, but I just can't help myself when so many unique brands keep appearing these days!

Are you dying of laughter over my Rick James photo with an orange halo of light surrounding his beckoning form? No? Coldblooded...Do you at least feel overcome with lust to acquire this pretty baby? I know I was when I saw the swatches put up by Amy from Nailventurous. Well good news! Though KBShimmer polishes used to be pretty hard to come by these days you can access her entire collection with ease here on her storefront. She also has an Etsy where limited editions are listed from time to time. Speaking of LE's it just so happens our little miss will be giving away 5 of them that she made as part of a rainbow polish making challenge. The contest ends this Friday and you can enter to win here. Here's hoping to scooping up a new pretty to play with! Thanks so much for reading and I'll see you next time. Toodles...
