Polish Pickup August 2025: Time Travel

PR Sample

Get ready to be dazzled — Polish Pickup is back August first, and it’s bringing the magic! This month, KBShimmer is delivering serious end-of-summer vibes with a polish that’s dark, dreamy, and full of fiery shimmer, plus a sugar scrub that smells like your favorite throwback memories bottled up in a spa day. Then there's LynB Designs, taking us on a wild ride through time and space with Temporal Chaos — a glowing, flakie-filled polish inspired by the legendary 14th Doctor. While these three beauties are the stars of my review, there are many more goodies available this month at Polish Pickup. Let’s time travel through the pretties!!




KBShimmer Excellent Nail Polish - We’ve all dreamed of time travel at some point - going back in time to witness major historical events. But not all of us had the threat of failing history class, and the future of a utopian society depending on it! Add in one phone booth, two dim-witted high school students, and a guide from the future, and you get what can only be described as an excellent adventure.

Excellent is a deepened grape jelly nail polish loaded with black flakes accented by iridescent flakes that shift into shades of pink, fuchsia, and orange. Contrasting blue to aqua to indigo flakes add a fun pop of color.




KBShimmer Breezy Juniper Scrub - Crisp and clean, fresh and herbal, the scent will take you back in time to the days when you only had to worry about catching the school bus or meeting your friends at the mall, not catching your morning Zoom meeting. Prepare to have your senses invigorated with this refreshing sugar scrub featuring swirls of blue and green against a creamy beige base.




LynB Designs Temporal Chaos - a polish worthy of a Time Lord. Inspired by the iconic 14th regeneration of The Doctor, this electrifying indigo jelly base pulses with purple-to-pink flakies, magenta-to-green shifting UCC flakies, and an aqua glow that comes alive in the dark. It’s bold, otherworldly, and a little bit chaotic — just the way we like our regenerations. Whether you're a Whovian or just a fan of glowing, galactic nails, this shade is here to take your mani on a space-time adventure.




All of my swatches are shown in two thick coats with topcoat and had no formula issues unless otherwise stated. All photography uses a neutral color temperature bulb and white background with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.
