KBShimmer: Set For Life
If lucky, the end of the day can be spent relaxing with a cool drink in hand, loved ones nearby, and ideally, the warm ocean breeze and setting sun offering a picture-perfect end to the day. Golden rays turn the deepening sky into a breathtaking view. If Christy could be lucky enough to enjoy a beach sunset each night, she’d feel like she was set for life!

Set For Life is a stunning magnetic multichrome that echoes a setting sun. A deep, shimmering indigo-to-navy base sets off a vibrant pink magnetic pigment. Fuchsia, orange, and even gold or green tones come out to play at different angles and in more direct light. This polish is shown in the velvet style using the KBShimmer Horseshoe magnet. It can also be worn with other magnet styles, offering multiple uniquely beautiful looks.

KBShimmer Sugared Papaya and Hibiscus Body Scrub
Ahhh, vacation. Pack your bags and leave your worries at home! It's time to unwind with a sweet frozen drink and the fragrant tropical blooms of paradise while lounging seaside. Inspired by the tropics, KBShimmer's June sugar scrub is colored with vibrant blue and coral swirls to complement its fun and fruity scent.

A tropical blend of juicy melon and sugared papaya is layered with lychee juice, coconut, lemon, and pineapple. Notes of plumeria blossom and wild hibiscus intertwine with raspberry vines, seagrass, and vanilla for a scent that will have you thinking you're in paradise.

PLEASE NOTE: Warm weather can cause oils in the scrub to separate in the jar; this will not harm your scrub. Just stir before using to combine.

Great Lakes Lacquer: Your Orchid Tariffs Are Killing Me
Inspiration: White orchids
Sentiment and description provided by Mariah of GLL: "It's not exactly tariffs on orchids that are killing me but the frustration about everything going on in our world today is certainly overwhelming."
A ghostly, almost non-existent gray is filled with a purple to red to orange shifting glowy shimmer. The formula on this is perfection, no streaks! Also beautiful in one coat, but as usuall I am showing it in two.
No cap

KBShimmer: Lei One One Me
Tropical plumeria flowers are as beautiful as they are fragrant. Blooming in shades of pink, coral, yellow, white, orange, and red, they are a true island staple. With their vibrant colors and intoxicating scent, it’s no surprise these flowers are often found on Hawaiian leis.

Lei One On Me is a glowing, shimmery coral nail polish that shines in the dark. Its shimmer shifts from an orange-hued coral to a salmon pink to a twinkling gold. When charged in the sun or under a blacklight, this shade glows a fun yellow-orange before fading to a soft pale-yellow white over time. Shake well before use to distribute the glow powder. Glow activates best with UV lighting (Sun, nail lamp, or blacklight).

KBShimmer: Cool Coconut Scrub
Being immersed in the tropics is an experience: lush green trees, vibrant florals, and endless coconut water. A beach chair, sunscreen, and a good conversation or music create a nice relaxing atmosphere among all the beautiful surroundings.
Cool Coconut is a tribute to the iconic tropical fruit, blending the sweetness of coconut milk with hints of vanilla for a summery scent that will transport you straight to the beach; sunscreen on, drink in hand. Echoing its tropical inspiration, Cool Coconut Scrub features pink and green swirls against a natural-colored base.

2020 Quad: These aren't your typical multichrome polishes. Mariah has instead used the pigment to create a darkened, vampy, moody quad. A modernized variant of polishes past, from 2020.

SSDD v2: Blackened violet base with a strong shift to red and orange. V2 has a strong linear holographic instead of the scattered of the original. Swatches are shown with no topcoat, the color transforms when topcoat is appled. The last photo shows a comparison with two nails topcoated.

FTFS v2: Mariah still feels like this multiple times a day. She says that if there was a polish that encompassed her, this is it.
A deep, moody cranberry with a silvery lean leads to a blinding RED. V2 includes a linear holographic finish.
