Syzygy.Boston: Fantastical But Fierce

PR Sample

The "We All Glow!" Facebook group custom is releasing Sept 1, 2022. There will be no cap, but it is limited as the sales will end Sept 30. The polish will be available at Syzygy.Boston




Fantastical But Fierce is a thermal, glow in the dark, green based polish packed full of pink glitters, pink aurora flakies, and pink shimmers! The polish transitions from neon green when warm (above 88°F), to dark olive green when cooler.
When charged with UV light or sunlight, you can enjoy a fun green glow in the dark effect, which shows best when the polishes and it’s warm (neon green) state!

xoxoJen's 3D Technique with KBShimmer: Happy Camper

PR Sample

Hi ya'll! I created a really cool 3D look with KBShimmer's Happy Camper polish last year and had totally forgot to share it! I love the effect, and it's so subtle that it would still be appropriate in formal settings. It can be done with any cream polish that can stamp!



1. Do your nails as usual with a light cream shade. (dark ones may hide the shadow effect)
2. Top coat or use a glitter tamer three to four times.
3. After completely dry, stamp with the same cream polish.
4. Top coat over that.
This technique can be done over a few days or several hours to allow the extra layers to dry well. It creates a shadow for a 3D effect and is not a double processed stamp. :)

I noticed the 3D effect in 2015 when I was doing the black lace saran wrap nail art in a challenge and just never tried to replicate it until 2021. I'm regretting not having attempted it again sooner because it is so cool and easy to do! I hope you enjoy the xoxoJen 3D technique!
What do you think?

Pink, Purple, and Black Nailart

May contain PR samples

I did some nail art back in May for the closing celebration of a year long leadership program that I was selected for at work. The swag we got was black and pink/purple, so I did nails to match. I cannot recall what products I used, but thought I'd share since its different from the usual swatches I do. Photos of both hands, ya'll! Enjoy!

Nabi: Hologram Effect (magenta)

Time for a throwback and walk down memory lane!
A dear friend of mine, Connie, and I used to travel to visit each other on the regular (the pandemic changed that). On one of her first visits to my city we made the rounds to all the drug stores and beauty supply shops to see what new and interesting polishes they had available. During this time, holos were very hard to come by, indies or mainstream alike.
At a Walgreen's near her hotel, we discovered Nabi. The polishes came in an array of shades and were all holographic! The price point was quite affordable as well, if I recall they were around $4-6ea. You'd have thought we were kids in a candy shop! The polish display was, get this, an acryllic candy jar with all their polishes tossed in. We quickly went through them and I ended up with this magenta holo.
I had never worn it, so it was high time! Surprsingly, it has not faded at all over the years I have had it. It looks just like it did when I purchased it. I took a few photos to share, and perhaps create a bit of nostalgia for some of you who may remember these.

Polish Pickup: Scary Vibes (Sept 2022)

PR Sample

Available at Polish Pickup September 2-5 are some goodies from a variety of brands. I have items from KBShimmer to share with you!




KBShimmer IT Scares Me Nail Polish – No Cap

Mimicking that colorful clown suit of the miniseries, IT Scares Me nail polish features a cool toned, grape like purple base. Loaded with micro color shifting flakes, this polish takes on a rainbow of hues, echoing the red hair along with green and yellow of the clown suit. In brighter light, the purple base sets off a striking pinkish magenta shimmer. Best in 2 coats, this shifty shade will keep your nails looking frightfully beautiful.




KBShimmer Pretty Grape Hand & Body Scrub – No Cap

Pretty Grape is reminiscent of boldly flavored sugary treats. Like cracking open a can of grape soda, or chewing a yummy piece of grape gum, Pretty Grape is bursting with a juicy grape scent. Notes of plump concord grapes blend with sun-ripened berries for a scent that is sweet with a hint of sparkle, tart but not mediciney. If you could transform the grape flavor of a sucker or soda into scent, this scrub would be it. Purple in color, use this scrub all over, for soft and smooth skin.
