The “Super base” is meant to be able to use the powder over regular polish. No gel polish, no water based top coat or UV light required. Apply the Super Base, wait 40-60 seconds then apply the powder gently to the nail. Very easy to use and can be done over so many different colors to create beautiful manis.
How it Works:
- Apply desired base color polish and allow to fully dry.
- Apply top coat if desired. Super Base may drag your polish unless it is floated on. To eliminate this you can top coat your polish first.
- Float one coat of Super Base and allow to dry 30-60 seconds.
- Using your fingertip or included applicator gently rub FOMO onto your nail.
- Remove any loose Pixie Magic by using a powder brush or cleanup brush.
- This magnetic Pixie works best with a NON quick drying top coat or the included Jreine Fleur De Crystal Top Coat. Float on the top coat.
- Before top coat dries, apply your magnet for 60-90 seconds (this insures you get as crisp of a line as possible).

KBShimmer-Sól What?
Though their origin story varies, Norse mythology states there was a being so beautiful that she was named Sól, after the sun, and her brother Mani after the Moon. This angered the Norse gods that their father, Mundilfari, would be so arrogant to name his children after the sun and moon. So the gods punished Sól, and made her drive a chariot of the sun around the earth as punishment, followed by Sköll, an evil wolf, and her brother Mani and the wolf Hati, to ensure they never stop moving. When researching Ancient History and different mythology, artwork of this sun and moon based story inspired KBshimmers March 2020 polish. Described as a light purple jelly base accented by color shifting flakes. These flakes shift from a fiery orange/warm gold/grass green. Micro holographic flakes shine bright in Sól’s sun, shining like a million stars in Mani’s night sky.

KBShimmer-Pomegranate Sugar Scrub
Inspired by the Hades and Persephone Greek mythology story. Hades ruled the underworld and on a trip topside, saw Persephone and decided he had to have her. One kidnapping later, Persephone was living in the underworld, eventually falling in love with Hades. But all is not good in the world above. Persephone’s mom Demeter missed her so, and in her grief neglected her job of making things grow. Long story short, the world revolted, and forced Hades to give Persephone back, but not before he fed her four pomegranate seeds, forcing her to return for 4 months each year. And this is why we have winter.
Scent described as a hint of musk, with tropical notes of pineapple and guava for a bold pomegranate scent perfect for ushering in spring.

Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish-Booty Scootin'
Inspired by the Chichen Itza Mayan Pyramid. Story behind the name: Kristens boyfriend RJ visited Chichen Itza with his family when he was 12. Back then the site was open to the public. He and his father and sister decided to climb to the top of the El Castillo pyramid while his mother waited below. They made it up okay, but when they got to the top RJ looked down and at that moment discovered that he has a fear of heights. His father also has a fear of heights, which he knew, but thought he would be okay. This pyramid stands 98 feet high, and the steps are very narrow. So here they are, stuck at the top of this pyramid, frozen with fear. They deliberated how to get down for some time before deciding to scoot down on their butts. So they scooted one step at a time, side by side, while his sister ran up and down to give updates on their progress to his mother. After about an hour they made it down unscathed, but El Castillo will forever be known as the pyramid they scooted down on their butts. Described as lilac base packed with red-gold-green shifting shimmer and aurora pigment and bronze-green-teal UCC flakies.
