Polish Pickup: October 2026

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!

xoxoJen's swatch of Polish Pickup: October 2026


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.

Polish Pickup: September 2026

It’s down to the wire! The current Polish Pickup window is officially winding down, with only about two hours left to snag this month's spooky, fall-inspired creations before the shop closes. Today, I’m sharing a quick look at three amazing offerings available for this month's theme: Frank Conversation and the Jack-O’-Lantern Hand & Body Scrub from KBShimmer, plus Ahead of the Carve by LynB Designs. From glow-in-the-dark goodness and solar shifts to autumn body care, these are total must-haves. Let's get straight into the details so you can grab yours before time runs out!

Frank Conversation – A glowy neon green crelly-like nail polish loaded with black shards. When charged, this shade glows an eerie green that borders on aqua. Pair with a glitter-smoothing topper and quick-dry top coat for the best Halloween manicure. ($13, No Cap)

Since Polish Pickup is a limited-time monthly pre-order, you will want to make sure your wish list is set before the shop officially opens tomorrow. Let's get straight into the swatches and scent details so you can prepare for the launch.
