My Untried Challenge Mani no. 368

I’m home from Chicago & Polish & Beauty Expo 2026! It was spectacular! Biggest highlight was sharing the experience with my dear friend & nail bestie Maggie @m4g0rtz. We packed so much shopping, fun, laughter, heart to heart chats and food into the weekend as possible! 🎠💅🏻🎠

My first selection is the VIP exclusive from the event host KBShimmer, Christy Rose called Buy Buy Buy. Any messy application flaws are my own fault due to travel fatigue ☺️ I will say, we adhered to this mantra 🤣😉😎

Chicago & Polish & Beauty Expo 2026

So excited to meet my dear friend & nail bestie Maggie. @m4g0rtz She’s leaving SFO as I wait at my LAX gate and we’ll meet up at ORD 🥳☺️

🌇💅🏻🏙️

This polish has been speaking to me, shouting “wear me, you know you will love me.” I’m so glad I listened 🥰🤩🥳 It makes my heart sing 🎶

Jenny’s Inspiration for PPU April 2026 Album Covers was Sloan's Smeared album cover. The song Underwhelmed, which is what the polish was named for, came out when she was in high school and became a lifelong favorite and as a kid, she loved the style of the album art so much she recreated it in watercolor.

🧡🩷🧡

This polish has a neon coral base with a fine, glowy purple/pink/orange/gold shimmer.

Happy 250th Birthday to OUR United States of America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Today’s statement mani features a beautiful polish that was randomly added to my recent Lurid order. The moment I took it out the box I knew it was the perfect expression for today. We must work together to ensure that human rights are respected and applicable to every single American.

Lurid Lacquer Dissent is Patriotic

To my eye, this deep blue shade is enhanced with strong shimmer and holo flakes. This shade will be available as an overpour in the Lurid shop in the future.
