Hello hello! It's time once more to take a look at the goodies contained in March Nailboxuk. Each month has a theme and each box contains 3-4 polishes and 1-2 nail related items which means either treatments or nail art items.
This month the box contained 3 nail polishes, fake nails and polish remover. Now I'm not really going to be saying much about the fake nails as these are not something I will personally use but they are really cute and look like speckled eggs.
Second nail item in the box is this Nails Inc Express Polish Remover. Now I have to say I was going into reviewing this negatively and I had to eat my words as I actually loved it! This bottle contains a sponge with a hole in the middle and is soaked in polish remover. Now I'm funny about two things: the feel of sponges (I know... I'm weird) and using acetone just to remove nail polish. Great thing is this contains non acetone polish remover so brownie points earned there. Secondly the feel of the sponge is actually quite smooth and I had no issues with putting my finger in there to remove my polish. The polish removed quickly and neatly, with none of that skin staining you sometimes get with dark coloured polish and cotton pads. Really nice product and one that I will use again.
Polish one is Eye Candy London in shade Naughty But Nice. We received one of this brand last month and I wasn't overly impressed with the brand. This shade had a much better consistency and only required two coats to become opaque, proof that it can be a really nice brand to use.
Pastel shades are very Easter and Spring in my opinion so this was definitely a good choice for the box. My swatch shows two coats of colour and no top coat. It's a very pretty shade. Anything purple and I'm pretty much in love :)
Polish two is an interesting one. A brand I had not heard of, this is Emerald Dust by Invogue. It's also advertised as a matt suede effect polish. Upon reading the back of the bottle I found out that this goes under the Eye Candy London website so they appear to be sister polishes.
Very impressed with this one. Pictures are showing only one coat as it's extremely pigmented. It dries to a matt finish as described and the colour is gorgeous with that shimmer of glitter running through it. I can't decide if its gold or green glitters that's in it, either way I like it.
Last polish of the box is from MoYou London. This company is most well known for it's stamping polish and image plates. Now it didn't come with a name on but after searching the website I'm pretty sure this is Cerise Pink. It's on the smaller side as this ones just a 9ml bottle but it is a pretty colour.
This is very pigmented and I only needed one coat for the swatches. I think this would also work as a stamping polish due to it's consistency. I didn't use any top coat for the pictures.
Overall thoughts for this month? Pleasantly surprised at how much I loved the Nails Inc polish remover bottle. Little disappointed at the fake nails being included but this is only because it's not something I will personally use. I see why it was included in the box and the pattern was perfect for easter/spring. Colour choices were a good variety and I got to try two new brands and said two were also one coaters. You can get your own if you are in the UK from £15 a month; check them out here. Thanks for reading, Lyn
