Valentine's Duo from Baby Girl and Kathleen & Co.

PR Sample

I have a Valentine's Duo to share with you. Mia of Kathleen & Co. teamed up with NeNe of Baby Girl Lacquer to bring you a fun duo! It will be available January 20 at 10am central at Kathleen & Co.'s website. And there's a story behind this duo! (Direct quotes from Mia are italicized)

When I was first starting out as a maker I reached out to Nene thinking she was a swatcher and even though I was mistaken she struck up a conversation with me and we learned we had so much in common. She was one of the first makers to befriend me and has always been super supportive and encouraging. I’m excited to be collaborating with her again after all these years!



Baby Girl Lacquer brings a beautiful red cream polish and cuticle balm, both scented with tart & black cherry fragrances.
Nene says that your nails will smell so good, you'll want to bite them! Don't bite them, though! I can't be held responsible for personal injuries!

I wore three coats of Cherry Kisses with topcoat. I noticed a subtle tomato red sheen shifting across my nails as I moved them and thought that was unique looking. When I asked Mia if that was intended, I found that the polish is being reformulated to be straight up red as seen in the base shade.




The cuticle balm smells like cherry candies and my favorite black cherry Kool-Aid. (I still drink it!) The balm melts on contact which makes it so easy to apply. It added a nice sheen to my nails and my skin and feels so soft.




Kathleen & Co's part of the duo is a fun Valentine's topper that is loaded with pink aurora shimmer in a clear base with added holo flecks. She's also including a little pot of glitter hearts in pink, white and magenta as shown in the kit photo above.

I did a little nail art with the topper and a few of the white hearts, such a cute combo!




The topper goes great with the red cream and looks pretty over pastel creams too. Check out the topper over Nina Ultra Pro's In a Tiff.

Kathleen & Co: Winter Creams

PR Sample

Kathleen & Co Winter creams are here! The collection of four are a shoutout to the winter creams from 2020, with two shades that came back and two shades that are similar but different/new. The launch is January 20, 2023 at 10am central time at Kathleen & Co's website.

All creams are shown in two coats with topcoat. They're amazingly buttery and basically apply themselves. Mary has done an amazing job with the formulas for these! The matte topcoated photos just reiterate how smoothly they each applied.




Deepest Blue is a nearly navy blue cream. I love where this shade sits in its color range. Most navy blue shades are too dark and end up looking black. This one is definitely blue and it's dark enough to call it navy I think, pure perfection!




Eggplant is a beautiful purple shade. Like navy blues, darker purples can also look black on the nail. This one, like deepest blue, is just dark enough to be a dark purple without looking black and just look at it matted!




Fir is that ever so slightly blue-leaning forest green. Absolutely beautiful! I can just picture a forest full of fir trees after dawn, when the fog is just settling near the ground all around them and the crisp fragrance of their leaves wafting in the air. This isn't just a polish, it's an adventure ya'll!




Winterberry is a blue-leaning darkish red shade, like the crushed velvet in your favorite jewelry box. So lush and utterly perfect for any ocassion whether it be a little black dress or a casual road trip!

Polish Pickup: Greek Mythology

PR Sample

Available at Polish Pickup Jan 6-9 are products from a variety of companies, all for sale in one place. I have items from KBShimmer to share with you! (Italicized text provided by KBShimmer)





KBShimmer Looking For Love Nail Polish – No Cap
It's only fitting that Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and love would have a love-related legend floating around (no pun intended). Off the shores of Paphos, Cyprus is Aphrodite’s Rock, the rock formation said to be the goddess's birthplace. Those looking for love go there for a swim, as legend states that if you swim around the rock three times, you will find your true love. 

Looking For Love nail polish is a stunningly shifty multichrome shade that requires no swimming or goddess's touch to fall in love with it! Loaded with holo glow flakes, this nail polish shows off a pale gold hue fit for a goddess. The gold quickly flips into a soft peach shade before moving into pink, warm champagne, and lemon yellow. Best in two coats.




KBShimmer Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Scrub – No Cap
If there was one food or drink that the Greek gods were known for, it was Ambrosia. Said to grant a long life, or maybe even immortality, this mythical substance is now thought to be honey. Fermented into wine, used for healing, or enjoyed as a sweet treat, honey could very well be the mythical Ambrosia.

Our Oatmeal, Milk & Honey scrub pays homage to Ambrosia. Sweet and decadent notes of raw honey wrap around the sugar crystals, while tonka bean adds a complex depth to the scent. Notes of smooth whipped vanilla cream and almond milk add layers of creamy sweetness and even a touch of cherry that almond notes can often bring.
