Polish Pickup: April 2026

PR Sample

Happy Tuesday! Today I am sharing a look at some of the offerings for the April Polish Pickup. The theme this month is Album Covers, and the makers have truly delivered with some creative and album-inspired products.

I have a great mix to show you today, including two beautiful items from KBShimmer and a stunning magnetic shade from LynB.

The Details:

• Shop Launch: April 3rd at 11:00 AM EST.
• Shipping: Polish Pickup is a pre-order shop. Once the sale window closes, makers ship their products to the PPU headquarters for consolidated shipping to you.

KBShimmer Blooming Lilac Hand & Body Scrub will make you feel like you’re surrounded by freshly cut lilacs. A hint of green from lily of the valley lifts the scent, while subtle rose notes build dimension for the perfect spring bouquet. Wisps of purple swirl through the soft, off-white scrub, making it as lovely to behold as it is to use. If you’re a fan of lilac, you’ll adore one of the most true-to-life scent experiences KBShimmer created just for you.

KBShimmer Ophelia Nail Polish is a nod to the famous painting of the noblewoman from Hamlet, floating on the river among delicate flowers and the album cover it inspired. A soft, true mint-green base sets off an orange-to-gold shifting shimmer. Holo glow flakes add a hint of diamond-like sparkle.
NO CAP



LynB They Disguise It, Hypnotize It: A red base with blue to purple to red magnetic pull. Shown as velvet on index and pinky, and diagonal on middle and ring finger. Inspired by System of a Down’s Hypnotize album.
NO CAP




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 with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.

Hella Handmade Creations: March 2026

PR Sample

Happy Saturday! Today I have a look at the offerings from LynB Designs and Victorian Varnish for the March Hella Handmade Creations shop. This month features a beautiful variety of products, including four gorgeous polishes, a Tincture duo, and a springtime Lavish Lotion.

If you are new to HHC, it is a unique monthly pre-order platform. Every month, independent makers design exclusive, limited-edition products inspired by a shared theme. Each item is handmade with intention and heart, supporting true artisan craftsmanship rather than lab-manufactured products.

Because these are custom-made, please keep the shipping timeline in mind. After the sale window closes on the 22nd, the makers produce their items and ship them to the HHC headquarters in Las Vegas. From there, the HHC team carefully packs and ships your entire order to you. This process typically takes about a month from the close of the sale for packages to start arriving.

The Details:

• Shop Launch: The shop is open now!
• Pre-order Window: You can place your orders from now through March 22nd.
• Shipping: Please remember that these are pre-order items and will ship after the sale window closes.

LynB Designs Fuster Cluck - is described as a juicy magenta jelly base loaded with pink to orange to gold shifting flakies and scattered tiny silver micro flakies.




Victorian Varnish Duo: Moms Are Like Buttons - is described as a sheer lilac/pink base with an aqua/green/purple aurora shimmer.
