PR Sample

Available at Polish Pickup November 1, are the following body and nail products from LynB and KBShimmer.




LynB Designs: Treasures or Bugs - a warm magenta jelly base with purple to pink shifting shimmer. Inspired by Creepy Crawlers bug makers




KBShimmer: Reach for the Stars
As kids, many toys and games caught our eye. Whether it was the latest dating board game, a cool pony with magical hair, or an oven to bake our own treats, these items filled our holiday wish lists. Some of us wanted cool room décor: a colorful see-through phone, a mini-TV of our own, or glow-in-the-dark stars to light up our ceiling.

Reach For The Stars nail polish is inspired by glow-in-the-dark stars that transformed our childhood ceilings into glowing planetariums. Pale yellow-green in color, a golden shimmer accents this glowing shade. Like the glowing stars, this polish shows a familiar green glow-in-the-dark effect, which fades over time into a pale mint glow.




KBShimmer Banana Coconut Scrub
Stickers were one of the best things about being a kid in the '80s and '90s. Collecting stickers with rainbow animals, holographic flair, or even stickers based on dolls with a trashy twist was a favorite pastime. But the best stickers were the scratch-n-sniff ones. The scents of grape soda, bubble gum, pizza, and banana could be found on many a notebook or book cover.

Banana Coconut Hand & Body Scrub is a strong mix of rich, creamy banana accented by sweet, smooth coconut. Adding depth to this fruity mix are notes of mango, strawberries, grapefruit, and kiwi. A hint of cotton candy and bubble gum adds a touch of sweetness to this tropical-scented scrub. Bright swirls of yellow against the creamy base add to the tropical feel, bringing a bit of fun to any shower or sink.




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.

LynB Designs: Crackle Basics

PR Sample

The Crackle Basics are launching Oct 11th at the LynB Designs Website. They're not included in the half off sale mentioned in my Moira review, but there are many other polishes in the shop that are.



I learned something about crackles that I had no idea until I did this collection. One of the other LynB swatchers from our team was kind enough to help me out with this tip. So I'm sharing it forward with you! Crackle polish will crack best when worn over dry nail polish or base. I did not know this and was putting it (the pink one) over a polish I'd only had on for maybe 30 minutes. When I started letting the base color dry overnight I got tons of crackles with all the rest of the colors! So if you're struggling w/them try letting your base color dry longer. These are totally worth that wait for such a cool effect!

I had no formula issues unless otherwise stated. All photography uses a neutral color temperature bulb and white background with white bounce card.
