LynB Designs: PBE VIP and Freebie Polishes

PR, Bought/Traded, GWP Samples

For all of you who have been eagerly asking about the new LynB polishes, your patience has paid off! I know the PBE VIP and freebie shades have sparked a lot of curiosity, and let me tell you, I heard you all loud and clear and finally sharing the swatches you've all been waiting for.

A quick heads-up: I'm playing detective with the descriptions since there aren't any official ones. I acquired these polishes through a mix of trading a polish I purchased for one, getting another as a freebie with a purchase, and finding the third in my PBE press swag.

Drop a comment if you enjoyed the swatches!




Leaf Me Petrified - Soft brown packed with colorful flakes and a smattering of holo flake.




Not Easy Being Sphene - a vibrant olive base with coppery to golden shimmer.




Schist Happens - Dove grey crelly with blue to indigo to purple shimmer.

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.

Polish & Beauty Expo 2025

PR

Ticket sales for next year's Polish & Beauty Expo are opening soon!

When: December 1st, at 8PM CST/9PM EST
Where: https://polishandbeautyexpo2025.eventbrite.com
What: Polish & Beauty Expo (PBE) is an annual US event that began in 2020. It aims to provide in-person connections for indie nail polish and beauty makers with customers and fans. Organized by the KBShimmer owner, Christy Rose, PBE is a showcase for nail polish and beauty vendors from across the world. The 2 day event offers shopping, learning, and the opportunity to connect with brands and other polish fans.

I have attended the event as Press for the past two years and I always have a blast!! I'm usually running a bit amok with snapping photos and taking video for the event. So if you see me, please do stop me, say hello, and grab a selfie with me if you'd like. I enjoy meeting others at these events and I would love to meet you!




A note from Christy with reminders and changes for this year:

• VIP and VIP Bundle ticket numbers have increased! But even with the increase, not everyone that wants VIP will be able to get them.  
• Polish Making Workshop ticket numbers have increased. Workshop attendees must also have tickets for the Sunday shopping day and are limited to attending only 1 session. No exceptions, as this enables as many people as possible to be able to experience this workshop. Children 12+ only. No non-ticketed guests will be allowed; each attendee requires a ticket (contact the PBE team if you have questions or concerns about their policies.
• Eventbrite claims to have a cart hold. We have that set for 10 minutes. Once you get tickets in your cart, do not hit the back button, change screens, do anything but check out. There is no cart icon to bring you back to the tickets if you close out of move off of the checkout screen and you will lose those tickets. Safari is not the friendliest for checking out, so I suggest you use a computer on Firefox or Chrome if you can. 
• Check back! Due to the cart hold, things will show sold out even if people have not paid. After 10 minutes, tickets may open up again. So refreshing the page starting at 10 minutes after may allow you to snag one of those coveted tickets. I will work through refund requests as quickly as I can, but please allow 24 hours if you make a mistake for me to get that processed. 
• PayPal is the only payment method we are accepting through Eventbrite. Make sure you have your account set up, or click on the option to use PayPal as a guest to process the payment. 
• Like last year, taxes and Eventbrite fees will be added on by Eventbrite at checkout. 
• There will be a dedicated chat thread, and post approval will be on. Negative posts complaining about not getting VIP or workshop tickets will not be approved. There will be a wait list thread posted 12/02, time TBD. Rude comments will not be tolerated and please don't make me cry. 
• There is still only 1 swag bag per person, and you must be there in person to pickup your swag bag. No exceptions. 
• The hotel block will be post on or after 12/2, so only ticketed attendees take up rooms. I am so excited for PBE 2025! I hope you are too! Please join the facebook group to stay informed! I will also be posting photos from the 2024 event in the facebook group soon. Don't miss out!

xoxoJen: Magenta Memories (Polish & Beauty Expo)

PR (Press and Dark Moon vendor helper)

I designed and created Magenta Memories last year at the 2023 Polish and Beauty Expo Polish Making Workshop. This year, I am wearing it to the event!
I dreamed of a polish like this for over a year and just couldn't seem to find one, so when I had the opportunity at PBE last year, I took advantage.




My very first polish making experience was at the PBE workshop. I named it Magenta Memories to remind me of all the fun I had at PBE. My table-mates were ooo-ing and ahhhh-ing over it so I offered to share the recipe. I figured perhaps a few other folks may want the recipe too, so here it is! Please say hi if you see me, and let me know if you made the polish!!

Magenta Memories
10 scoops Electric Violet Ultra Aurora Pigment
3 drops red #7
1 drop ultramarine blue
10 drops magic holo micro flakes

Have a fabulous time if you're going and if not, perhaps I'll see you there next year!

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.
