LynB Designs: Just Surreal

PR Sample

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to play with magnets, this is it. Today I’m sharing the latest from LynB Designs, and the timing couldn't be better. The collection is available now, and it is packed with some of the most dimensional, "is-that-even-real" magnetic effects I’ve seen in a while. And the best part? You can currently grab 50% off most items in the shop using the code SURREAL today through February 10th. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Jenn’s formula or you’re looking to dive into your first magnetic set, now is the time to stock up. Let’s take a closer look at these six stunning shades!




Caricature is described as a stormy berry purple base with green to blue shifting shimmer and indigo magnetic pull.




Grotesque is described as a rusty bruise base with green to teal to purple magnetic pull.




Iconography is described as a magnetic base with copper pull filled with pink to orange shifting shimmer and added holo flakies.




Juxtapose is described as a greyed out dimensional magnetic with large particle green magnetic pull and fine particle navy blue magnetic pull.




Pastiche is described as a violet base with blue to indigo shifting shimmer silver magnetic pull and magenta reflective glitter. Remember those Pixie dust polishes from way back when that were so popular? When I swatched this it reminded me of those, so I am showing it with no topcoat.




Rendering is described as a forest green base with pink to orange micro flakie shimmer, green magnetic pull, and aqua glow in the dark.




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: February 2026

PR Sample

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! While some are looking for chocolates or flowers, I’m looking for shimmer and the February Hella Handmade Creations (HHC) shop does not disappoint. Launching February 14th, is a brand-new selection of limited-edition beauties.

If you are new to HHC, it is a fantastic monthly shopping platform that hosts a variety of indie makers. The cool thing about Hella Handmade Creations is that each maker chooses a specific theme (like a movie, a band, or a place) and creates a series of polishes over several months based on that inspiration. It’s a great way to see a creative vision come to life over time!

Because these items are handmade and exclusive to the event, they are only available for a short pre-order window. I have a few stunning selections from Nirvana, LynB Designs, Hula Moon and Victorian Varnish to show you today, but keep in mind that this is just a tiny peek at what's available. There are dozens of makers in the shop this month, so make sure to browse the full site!





Hula Moon I Got No More Use For This Guy - I Got No More Use For This Guy is a black linear holo with red shimmer. cap 200




Hula Moon Mahalo for Eleven Years - Mahalo for Eleven Years has a purple jelly base with purple to gold iridescent flakies and holo glitter. This is a sibling polish to Mahalo for Ten Years. cap 200




LynB Designs Peep Durple - Peep Durple is a buildable purple base filled with a rainbow of shifting flakies and added holo sparkle. cap 150




Nirvana Aloha Forever - Aloha Forever has a juicy orange base that glows like a tropical sunset, with vibrant pink shimmer that dances through it like the last blush of daylight over warm ocean waves. 200 cap




Nirvana Reef or Ruin - Reef or Ruin has a blue base, then flashes violet, red, and orange like warning lights flickering through the water. 200 cap. Because my photos of this polish are quite sheer compared to other swatches, I let the maker know before publishing this review and they weren't sure what happened with the bottle I received. Based on that, I think it is not supposed to be this sheer. Check the other swatches in the HHC shop to see what it should look like.




Victorian Varnish Aloha Strawberry Potion Lotion - A fusion of sweet fresh strawberries, juicy tangerine, papaya and lovely coconut wrapped in a golden shortcake and whipped cream.




Victorian Varnish Frilly Lilly - Frilly Lilly is a bright green magnetic when magnetized reveals a stunning array of shifts throughout the rainbow and holo flakies add dimension. cap 300




Victorian Varnish Hoʻomaikaʻi - Hoʻomaikaʻi has a berry jelly base loaded with purple/violet/pink aurora shimmer with linear holo and holo flakies. 200 cap




Victorian Varnish Devine Lychee - A refreshing yet bright blend of lychee mixed with red tea, geranium, and lily. cap 50
