KBShimmer: Op Art is a glitter topper inspired by bold black-and-white optical illusions. Matte glitters float in a clear base, ranging from medium to extra-small for easy application. A wide variety of shapes can be found: shreds, hexes, dots, hearts, tiny stars, and miniature squares. Shown in one coat over a blue cream, with a glitter smoother before the quick-dry topcoat.

KBShimmer: Pumpkin Soufflé Hand & Body Scrub - As the cool air swirls outside, let the warm notes keep you feeling cozy indoors. With comforting scents of freshly cooked pumpkin, toasted pecans and walnuts, and rich caramel, this scrub captures the essence of fall. Hints of ginger, cinnamon, and allspice add depth to round out the autumnal fragrance.

400 Cap.
To Use: Scoop out the desired amount and rub in a circular motion to exfoliate, then rinse with warm water. Use caution when exiting the tub/shower, as floors may be slippery.

Polish Pickup February 2025: Fables and Folklore

Available at Polish Pickup February 7, are the following body and nail products from LynB and KBShimmer.

Night Light Magnetic Nail Polish captures the essence of an aurora’s mesmerizing colors. Its blackened base is enhanced with holographic sparkle and a magnetic pigment that shifts across a spectrum of hues. A teal-leaning green transitions into shades of blue, navy, purple, maroon, and even gold at extreme angles. Use a magnet to transform this polish into a celestial display reminiscent of the night sky, or wear it as-is for a stunning multichrome effect.

I am showing it magnetized by a horseshoe magnet for a velvet effect. Just look at the added dimension. It's like a milky way on my nails!

KBShimmer Spring Blooms Hand & Body Scrub - Celebrates beauty of nature. Like a gentle breeze through a field of wildflowers, its fragrance begins with a delicate hint of wild lavender. Sweet apple notes and a touch of lemon leaf harmonize with rich sandalwood and amber undertones. Its soft purple hue is a perfect way to welcome a new season - or at least pretend that spring is near!

LynB Designs Slow and Steady- mysterious brown base with red/orange to orange to green shifting shimmer. Such a stunner! I LOVE shades like this that easily shift under a single light source with no gymnastics needed from me.
Inspired by the tortoise and the hare

Blush Lacquers: Bane of My Existence

Bane of My Existence is the November Polish Pickup contribution from Blush Lacquers.

Blush's fandom theme is Batman. More specifically the polish is inspired by Batman's rival, Bane, played by Tom Hardy in the Dark Knight Rises.

It is a beautifully done olive/copper/green multichrome with holo flake. Two perfectly formulated coats painted on with the most amazing indie brush.
If you haven't tried a Blush polish yet, this one demonstrates the unique creativity of brand owner Victoria quite well.

You can get yours soon at the Polish Pickup shop!
