xoxoJen's swatch of Polish Pickup: World Travel

KBShimmer I Can Sea Clearly Now
Inspired by sunsets, beaches, and everything tropical. This shifty shade starts with a glistening gold that quickly shows off hues of lime and aqua. A quick flick of the wrist or change in lighting brings out bolder blues, teal, green, and hints of periwinkle. Seeming almost pastel at times and jewel-toned in others, this water-inspired hue glimmers as it catches the light, for a unique nail polish that celebrates the tropics.
No cap

This polish is everything happy, shifty, sunny, beachy, calming, it's simply a must have. Shown in two coats with topcoat.

KBShimmer Paradise sugar scrub
A nod to those refreshing citrus drinks, starting with a strong note of fresh-squeezed limes, sweetened by hints of pineapple, zesty orange, and lemon. Subtle notes of gardenias finish off this citrus scent. Soft lime and cream swirls of sugar are accented by a dusting of biodegradable glitter.
No cap

Fresh and fuity! A yummy smelling scrub, just like you'd expect from the label image and its description!

A light blue crelly base filled with bright pink-shifting aurora shimmer, vibrant pink iridescent color-shift flakes, and holographic microflakes. Inspiration: The song “I’m on a Boat” by The Lonely Island.

Super reflective ya'll, it's like if a polish finish could be like a pave ring or a druzy stone. Loving this! Shown in two coats with topcoat.

The Soapy Chef Travel the World Himalayan salt scrub
Inspired by the Himalayan mountains. This scrub is great for the whole body! Comes with small spoon.
The scent consists of refreshing spa, morning mist, lemon zest, and blue lotus petal.
Cap 100 US, 5 UK

I enjoy the fresh spa scent and the scrubby texture of this product. I'm super happy about the spoon that comes with it too! Those spoons are critical in keeping water (and germs!) out of the scrub jar so that the scrub can last for a long period of time. The scrub in the jar looks a little like it might be dry, but that's because the butters in there have solidified, as soon as you put it on your hands and start rubbing it around, the butters melt. If you add a little water, the scrub emulsifies into a lotiony creamy goodness! I love using this scrub before shaving my legs as an exfoliation prep - it's fantastic!

Nevermind: Fat Tuesday Duo

Nevermind Polish is bringing us a holo duo inspired by Mardi Gras. These launched already, so you can get them now!



Mardi Green
Vibrant green linear holographic

A slightly more grassy shade of green than a straight up lime shade. I'm loving it, what do ya'll think of it? It's opaque in three coats as shown and is smooth and easy to apply. I took one photo under a different light because it makes the holo rainbows just sing!

Purple Parade
Deep purple linear holographic

Super grapey and ya'll the blue flame in the holo is EVERYTHING. Hard to capture in photos. trust. :) Easy to apply, opaque in two coats. I also took a photo under that light that blings out the holo.

Some fun stamping! I used H La Cosadora polish to stamp and a design from their Fortune Cookie plate.

1850 Artisan: Corfu for HHC

I have an HHC polish from 1850 Artisan to share with you this month. This along with many others launch on Jan 14th at 12:01am EST to 21st at 11:59pm Hawaiian time at hellahandmadecreations.com

Corfu is inspired by the beautiful waters of the island the Durrel family loved in the Masterpiece show The Durrels in Corfu. Corfu is a turquoise shimmer that has holographic microflakes, is softened by a copper shimmer, and is topped with a pink highlight.
No Cap

The polish is shown in two sparkly shifting coats along with 1850's Fast Track topcoat. Application was smooth and breezy just like the air over the Mediterranean waters!
