Polish Pickup: October 2026

PR Sample

Hi everyone! Today I have a quick last-chance look at some amazing offerings from KBShimmer and LynB Designs for the October Polish Pick Up shop! Time is running out fast, the shop opened October 2nd and officially closes tomorrow evening, so consider this your final call to get those wishlists checked out!




KBShimmer A Touch Of Magic Hand & Body Scrub – 400 Cap
The scrub takes inspiration from the scent notes found in many shops that seem a bit magical. A swirl of vanilla combines with smoky patchouli. A hint of spice and a dash of coconut, along with pink peppercorn, amberwood, and caramel blend for a warm and appealing scent.
The summer heat got to this one ya'll! The luxurious butters melted and floated to the top, so when it resolidified all that goodness was at the top and is shown in my picture. I stirred it in and took another picture of it to show the texture. This one smells slightly sweet and slightly earthy, a great fall scent!




KBShimmer Practically Magic Magnetic Nail Polish – No Cap
A sparkly olive green magnetic polish with hints of orange-to-gold-to-green shimmer that flashes as different angles catch the light. The shimmer in the base really comes through well when worn cat eye style, I am also showing it in velvet style.




LynB Designs I’ll Bring the Drama - No Cap - $13
Plummy purple base with pink to silver to green shifting magnetic pull




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.

Never miss a swatch!

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.
400 CAP



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

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.
