Final Thoughts

This collection from LynB Designs is a total treat for the senses! The depth of those shifting flakies is even better in person, and the formulas apply like a dream. I’m having a hard time picking a favorite, but the dimension in this drop is definitely a highlight for me. Don't forget to use code JELLY for 50% off most things through the 13th!

Which of these shades is going in your shopping cart? Let me know your top pick in the comments!

Quick Tip: To really make those flakies and shifts pop, I recommend using a smoothing base coat and a high-shine top coat for a glass-like finish.



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.

Polish Pickup: January 2026

Y2K Get ready to dust off your butterfly clips and find your favorite velour tracksuit, because we are heading back to the turn of the millennium! This month, Polish Pickup is celebrating the Y2K Comeback, and the nostalgia in this collection is hitting all the right notes.

If you aren't familiar with how Polish Pickup (PPU) works, it is the ultimate monthly "one-stop shop" for indie lovers. The platform brings together hundreds of limited-edition products from different makers all in one place. You can shop from dozens of different brands but only pay one shipping fee, which makes it a great way to try new makers alongside your favorites.

The shop opens for pre-order on January 2nd. While there will be hundreds of polishes, scrubs, and hand-care items available on the site, I have a few beautiful highlights to share with you today from KBShimmer and LynB Designs.

Let’s dive into the swatches!

Blockbuster - Blockbuster is a nod to the movie stores of yesteryear. This ultramarine blue nail polish is loaded with shimmer, for a shade worthy of a starring role in your collection. A yellow-to-gold shifting shimmer shines in the light, while changes in angle reveal hints of lime. Bolder lighting brings out stronger orange-gold tones and highlights the micro holographic sparkle. Two coats provide coverage for most.

Love Spell - Love Spell hand and body scrub is a beloved scent for many, beginning with fresh citrus notes of orange and clementine blended with hints of peach. Floral notes of cherry blossom and white jasmine mix with base notes of musk and apple for an alluring fragrance you’re sure to love. 400 Cap

Stay Put - Achieve a long-lasting manicure with KBShimmer Stay Put Hydrating Base Coat. This base coat not only helps your polish stay in place but also hydrates your nails. Formulated to protect against yellowing and staining, the Stay Put Hydrating Base Coat features lush ingredients like prickly pear extract and seaweed. Apply it before your polish to create a protective layer that locks in moisture. Vitamin E helps prevent oxidation and keeps your nails hydrated from within.
If you're looking for a holy grail basecoat, try this one! It is definitely mine because it adheres polish like iron. It's also very affordable.
