Coloristiq Manicure Box // Festival Fever!
Hello everyone!
You may remember last year I reviewed the nail polish rental service, Coloristiq. I'm proud to say I'm an ambassador for the brand and when I heard they were bringing out monthly Manicure Boxes I was so excited!
They kindly sent me over their June box which is festival themed. Let's take a look at what's inside!
The DETAILS
Coloristiq started out offering nail polish boxes you could rent for a month in an attempt to aid that 'house full of barely used polish bottles' problem. However, the idea behind the Manicure Box is a little different. You're still getting a box filled with gorgeous nail polish but with the Manicure Box you don't have you send it back, you get more goodies & you don't have to subscribe to a contract - you can buy boxes whenever you feel like!
The PACKAGINGI was so impressed with the attention to detail! Opening up each layer keeps the element of surprise a little longer and makes the whole thing so exciting. This really would be an incredible gift to give a nail polish lover!
The CONTENTS
Inside the June Festival Fever Box you get:
- one full size bottle of a Models Own Festival Collection polish (shade varies)
- two mini China Glaze Electric Nights polishes (shades vary)
- one full size bottle of OPI Serious Sparkle
- Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat
- YRNails Aztec Foils
The SWATCHES
I've never tried any China Glaze polishes before so I'm very happy to finally get my hands on some to try! The shades I got are Daisy Know My Name? & Glow With The Flow and I couldn't be more pleased as I know I've get plenty of use out of both! So far I quite like the formula; the pink took two coats to become opaque while the yellow one took three but that's fine by me. They're both truly neon, highlighter-esque shades which I love!
I absolutely love Models Own polishes so seeing Blue Skies from their Festival Collection inside was fabulous! I was pretty impressed at the fact it was almost opaque on the first coat but I applied two to get maximum pigmentation. I actually don't have a lot of blue polishes and I definitely didn't previously own one of this shade so it's a very welcome addition to my collection!
You can't really go wrong with OPI in my opinion and Serious Sparkle is a true stunner of a top coat. It contains both tiny glitter particles and confetti strands - could it get any better?! I've applied one coat over Blue Skies and two on it's own so you can get a feel for what it's like.
The EXTRAS
Inside the leaflet you get a step by step tutorial by fellow blogger & ambassador Lauren of The Naily Mail - what a lovely added extra! I've just followed Lauren's blog and if you're into nail art I recommend you do too!
As well as the tutorial, there's a 10% off promo code for TempTatz - ideal if you've got a festival coming up. I've had a wee look on their site and they do some pretty cool designs for temporary tattoos!
My THOUGHTS
I think the Manicure Box is a brilliant idea that's only made better by the fantastic price of just £15. It's packed with stuff and has a value of £33. Very decent if you ask me! I love how Coloristiq are showcasing indie brands as well as better known ones and giving bloggers a spotlight too.
I'd be happy to fully review the Sally Hansen Double Duty & YRNails Foils once I've tried them out properly - leave me a comment if you'd like to see that!
