Unboxing: Meebox August

Hello :)
Welcome back to another unboxing blog post where I share swatches and thoughts with you over the contents from the boho themed Meebox for August.





There were some really nice goodies this month.  First is a cute sterling silver midi ring that I adore and have been wearing ever since I got it.  The next little pot of goodness is some funky multi coloured foil from Miss Cat Nails.  I've never seen anything like it and I'm looking forward to trying to use it in some nail art!  The final non polish item is a little bottle of polish remover which is grape and raspberry scented.  I could still smell that standard polish remover scent, but there was the undertones of grape and raspberry coming through.



First shade of the box is Aggie by Zoya.  I don't have many Zoya in my collection at the moment so I loved to see this one included.  It is a beautiful gold-bronze with green undertones.  There also seems to be flecks of tiny gold glitter throughout.

This is the best picture I could get showing you there really is green in this polish!  It's frustrating to have such an amazing shade and being unable to capture it's full potential in a photograph.  I did two coats and top coat for the swatches.



Second shade is by Barry M and is called Green Berry.  This is from their Gelly Hi Shine range so after two coats of colour I didn't even apply top coat.

I think Barry M is a fantastic mainstream brand that is good quality but also affordable and readily available.  This is a really pretty shade and I do have a soft spot for these pastel tones.

Check out this amazing colour!  This is Cuccio Prince I've Been Gone and boy is this a deeeeep green!  So much so I had a hard time taking pictures of it without it seeming to be black!

 
 This was two coats and top coat and you can even see my camera reflection in the glossyness!  I find this to be a very unique shade and though not one I would have picked out myself to buy, I think it really suits my skintone.

Another month has come and gone and once again I'm pleased with the contents of this months box.  I have to say my favourite item this month is the midi ring, but if you want me to pick a favourite out of the polishes then it has to be Green Berry.
Next months theme has been released as Pumpkin Spice which makes me excited about what the contents will be.
Keep an eye on my YouTube channel for my unboxing and live swatch videos which will be up soon and I will see you in the next blog!
