Polish Pickup January 2025: Masquerade Ball

PR Sample

Available at Polish Pickup January 3, are the following body and nail products from LynB and KBShimmer.




LynB Designs: Paper Faces on Parade- indigo base with purple to pink to copper shifting shimmer- inspired by The Phantom of the Opera




KBShimmer: Breathe, Just Breathe
Some movie scenes are so iconic that a single line stays with you forever. For KBShimmer, it’s the masquerade ball scene from Ever After. The Prince, looking glum, is resigned to a life tied to someone he doesn’t love. Then, the heroine steps into the ball, calming herself with the words, “Breathe, just breathe.” Our hearts melt as the Prince sees her for the first time. That unforgettable moment helped inspire their January polish.

Breathe, Just Breathe is a multichrome shade that starts with a subtle, almost pink-leaning silver tone. It transitions to bold teal, which shifts into navy and indigo with flashes of green and teal shimmering through. The way this shade catches the light creates a beautiful sparkling shimmer.




KBShimmer Pineapple Passionfruit Hand & Body Scrub
When KBShimmer thinks of masquerades, they can’t help but picture Mardi Gras - the masks, the drinks, and the vibrant revelry. Glitzy costumes at masquerade balls, parades that let you escape to a world of imagination, and beads everywhere. Tropical fruit-based drinks inspired the masquerade-themed scrub: Pineapple Passionfruit.
Pineapple Passionfruit Hand & Body Scrub is a tropical treat, bursting with sweet passionfruit notes complemented by the bright scent of pineapple. A hint of pink guava round sout the finish of this fruity delight. Swirled like a frozen drink, the scrub features a pale yellow base with coral swirls and a tropical-themed label. The scrub will transport you to paradise with every use.




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 and white background with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.

Smells like toasting marshmallows on sticks over a campfire. So good! If you like gourmand with a bit of dry woods and wisp of smoke, this is def for you!




Jotunheim- warm purple to peach thermal base packed with pink to orange to gold shifting flakies and scattered black flakies. Inspired by the Norse land of Giants. No cap.




Spellbound pressed pigment - a chunky linear holo effect pigment. To use: rub applicator on powder then dab on nail (tacky polish works best) topcoat to seal it in, can also be used on gel polish or as an eyeshadow.
cap of 20
I tried as suggested on the nail and it worked, but I decided to try something different to apply it a bit heavier. I applied my base to a makeup sponge and then dipped it into the pigment and sponged it on my nail. I repeated that a few times to get a fuller holo look as shown on my thumb nail. For the other nails, I decided to use a silver polish underneath so I could use a bit less pigment and not worry about full coverage as much. I love how it turned out!




Spores, Sprockets, & Fungi - Teal Thermal (teal warm/clear cold), with 2 iridescent multichrome shimmers ranging from violet, blue, green, pink, purple, and peach.
Inpso - Mushroom wielding winter grden steampunk gnome
