KBShimmer Hidden Potential Nail Polish 0.5 oz Full Sized Bottle

Hidden Potential is aptly named, and I adore it. When I first tried applying it, the first layer looked like gross greenish glitter in a mauve-y base, with no color shifting to be seen, and I was so disappointed I gave up and used a different polish. I recently gave it another go and I wish I had sooner! Once you apply two or more layers, the nail polish really comes to life and has a ton of color shift. In some lights and angles it looks coppery with red and purple playing at the edges, in others it looks predominantly blue with purple. In some lights I have no idea what color it is, but it is very pretty! Definitely give this one a chance- the listing photos are gorgeous (and I have had my nails look like the colors shown in the photo), but it is somehow even more delightful in person. The formula is also very nice to apply, and makes thin even layers achievable without gloopiness or streakiness!

This is a hidden treasure!!! These are SO pretty and have a convenient narrow/flatter brush that goes on smooth and easy. One coat was perfect and 2 coats, the chefs kiss 💋 These colors are more 'chrome-like' which makes them even better. They look super cool and I can't wait to try the other colors!💛💚💙💜🩷 Also arrived in very pretty packaging. Thanks so much!!!🤗

Compliments on a nail polish are the best form of recognition. I love this nail polish brand. I get great compliments on it every time I wear it. I like nice fingernails and I notice nail polishes. When someone notices mine, I try to make it a point to know what brand and the specific color I’m wearing. Some people like to keep their “pretties“ a secret. I believe the world would be happier if we all could look at things we think are pretty! And I am happy to share. I proudly promote SK shimmer as having some of the best nail polish colors and where I get them! I should be a spokesperson for…

This polish is described as a "Multichrome Shimmer Base" but the finish is a jelly aurora shimmer, not the metallic shine of a multichrome like the ones I have from ILNP. It's very similar to another polish I own and I wouldn't have gotten it if the description had been accurate. That said, if you don't already have a purple based polish with a warm aurora shimmer this is a good one to grab. The thing that makes these polishes so pretty and shifty is the contrast of cool base/warm shimmer. It mostly looks either warm purple or copper, but turns blue at extreme angles and can also show a bit of gold or green. It applies well and is opaque in 2-3 coats as expected.

Hidden Potential is easily the most widely-varied color shift I've seen so far, actually delivering remarkably well on the beautiful product photo, compared to other color-shifting polishes I've tried. You usually won't see more than one or two hues at a time, but as you move through different light sources at different angles, it dramatically shifts through an entire spectrum of deep, intriguing, smoky-shimmery colors (yeah, "smoky," not bright and cheery; it has a nicely thoughtful, mysterious appeal). And if you have indirect natural sunlight on one side of you and bright indoor lighting on the other, you can actually see the full spectrum all at once, almost as clearly as in the product photo. The polish itself seems to be kind of a translucent but richly-colored deep heliotrope, but you have to look close to see anything but the dense, color-shifting shimmer. My only complaint is that, while the first coat dried nice and hard within a decent time, the second coat was still showing impressions of my fingerprint when tested nearly four hours after application, and tiny bubbles had formed in it on one nail. I finally just threw a quick-drying clear coat over it for protection because I didn't have any more time to wait, and before long the edge of the polish was peeling and lifting back from the edge of one nail.

So pretty

This polish is gorgeous. Very wide range of colors, depending on the light. Copper to mint to aqua for the iridescence, and the polish itself is a jelly purple. Truly multichrome, not just a flip flop. I love it! I ordered "Black" which is labeled "Hidden Potential" on the bottle. Make sure to add a little thinner to it as you go - initial consistency is great, but after using it 3 or 4 times it started to get just a little thick. Great polish!

This is my favorite green glitter polish ever. I love it. Now that I've used it a few times, the glitter flows better in the polish. The bigger glitters are never as plentiful (yet) as I kind of want, but that may change as the polish is used more. This takes 3 layers to get a nice, nearly opaque green. Do thin layers so that the jelly consistency doesn't obscure the glitters. But this is seriously my favorite. It's a rich, perfect grass green. The jelly consistency is clear enough to see the glitters in the lower layers, and it goes on smoothly and not in a watery or streaky way. I misplaced my bottle for a little while and several of my friends got tearful text messages as I wailed and moaned. And I came back to Amazon and added it to my cart multiple times as I seriously considered buying a new bottle to replace my missing one. I've found my missing bottle, but I haven't actually removed the replacements from my cart yet. It's that good.
