Hello readers, It's time for my thoughts on February's Meebox goodies. This is a monthly subscription service for a box full of nail products. If you would like to find out more click HERE.
The theme for the month was Red Carpet and there was even 5 special boxes that contained a Chanel Polish. Unfortunately my box wasn't a lucky one but I still liked what I got, so lets jump into it.
This month is three polishes (or four if you were one of the lucky five) and some gold nail studs from Sparkly Nails. This website sells some cute nail art items, so feel free to take a look HERE.
Polish number one is by Leighton Denny called Feel The Burn. Now one of the great thing I think about these boxes is receiving brands that I haven't ever bought and this is one of two that arrived in the package I'd never tried. This polish is amazing! If all his other polishes apply to this standard then I am impressed.
This is just ONE coat! It is completely opaque and shown here with no top coat. Application was really smooth, it dried really fast and the formula was just over all great to work with. My monitor is making this colour show up pillar box red but it is a much deeper, burnt shade of red. I can't wait to try more of this brand.
Sparkle sparkle! How about this beauty of full on gold glitter? Made by NailsInc this is Chelsea Embankment. Now on first appearances of the bottle I had the impression that this would be more of a topper polish or one that needed multiple coats (or even sponging) to achieve solid colour.
Well I was amazed at the coverage that came out in the first coat. The glitter is very dense but this does not effect the thickness of the polish - in fact the polish had a nice thin, easy to work with consistency. I applied a second coat and got what you see in the pictures. Look at the sparkle! Love this polish. Now does it come in silver.....?
Final polish of the box is a second brand I had not heard of; Smith & Cult. Interesting choice of name, this is called Porn-A-Thon. It is a peachy-nude and actually looks quite nice, though it would suit better a darker skin tone than mine.
There was one thing I wasn't so keen on with this polish and that was the brush. I'm finding it hard to get the words to describe to you what it was like. I guess it was almost like it was slightly clumped together and didn't have the softness of other brushes to spread out neatly on application. I managed to use it okay though and got the picture result in just two coats. The formula is really nice, I just would like a different brush. So there we have it. February's been and gone and even with the extra day it still seems way too fast. I'm looking forward to this months box which has the theme Kawaii. Did you receive a Meebox this month? What are your thoughts?
