Polish Pickup: June 2026

The June Polish Pickup shop is officially open, and I have a few jaw-dropping polishes to share with you as well as an ocean-inspired scrub. This shopping window closes on Monday, June 8th, so head over to read the full breakdown of these no-cap releases before time runs out.

xoxoJen's swatch of Polish Pickup: June 2026


Take The Money and Run - The polish is a stunning magnetic inspired by the Steve Miller Band's iconic blue album cover with the flaming red horse. Filled with a red magnetic particle that shifts between shades of orange, gold, and fuchsia, is formed against a bold, shimmering blue background. When worn velvet style, the shade flips between red and blue depending on the viewing angle. It's a stunner, Christy suggests to try layering it over black.

A Little Bit Salty Scrub - Inspired by salt, a beloved little white crystal. The scrub opens with top notes of salty sea spray. Crisp ozone and fresh rain are at the heart, with subtle floral notes of lily of the valley and jasmine. Hints of leafy greens, pine, and musk round out the complex scent, creating a fresh, ocean-inspired experience in your own home. Despite the name, the sugar scrub is salt-free, for gentle exfoliation.

I Feel You, Goanna - spring green to dark teal solar base loaded with golden to green shifting flakies, green to aqua to blue shifting UCC flakies. and added holo accents- inspired by an epic Steve crossover. Stephan Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd and Steve Irwin’s love of lizards
