Polish Pickup: February 2026

Get ready for the February 6th Polish Pickup, where the theme is "Cute but Deadly!"

This month, makers are exploring the duality of things that look sweet but carry a sting, from poisonous pits to sharp-clawed companions. I’m featuring a few standout items from KBShimmer and LynB Designs, including a fan-favorite scrub and some seriously shifty magnetics.

While I’m diving into these specific beauties today, there are hundreds of other "deadly" delights available on the PPU site, so make sure to check out the full shop!

KBShimmer Cherry Almond Sugar Scrub - sweet, classic aroma of juicy maraschino cherries and sweet almond notes combine to create a luscious fragrance perfect for a Cherry Almond Scrub. Paired with a bold red color, this scrub’s scent gives a bit of brightness. This fan-favorite scent was previously available in January 2024. cap 250

KBShimmer Fear Me, If You Dare - magnetic nail polish featuring an emerald-to-teal-to-blue-to-purple shimmery base. A strong orange magnetic pull runs through it, flashing gold and red. When worn velvet-style, the polish takes on a wild, dramatic look, with multicolor shifts from the shimmery base and fiery magnetic pigment, almost like two sides facing off. no cap
