You Polish July box

So for the past couple months I have been ordering the special box You Polish comes out with every month. It normally comes with 2 full size polishes and an extra of some kind. There is also the chance to win a special item or discount. There is a polish that comes in every box and for the second there is a choice between 2. You can add on the second choice as well though.

Lauren definitely outdid herself this time around!  I choose the box with Aqua Mint and Can I Call You Lisbeth?.  I normally get the add on, but this time it was Painting the Roses Red, which I already have. It is a gorgeous color BTW!  It also came with a little nail brush, cuticle oil, 5 cuticle sticks and a tiny hand bath balm. (which is awesome)

Let me tell you. I knew what was coming in the box. I opened it up and immediately knew something was different than I expected. I spent a good amount of time jumping up and down around my house and squealing like a fool before I did anymore than lift the lid of the box it was shipped in. 


I won the necklace! I never win anything, but I won this time! It is absolutely gorgeous too!


Aqua Mint is a very pretty light blue packed with silver glitter of different shapes and sizes.

Can I Call You Lisbeth? is actually based off of the cover of the book The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo. It's a lime green with bright orange, black and a darker lime green glitters. Different sizes again, but much smaller.

OPI Regis Raves and OPI Honk If You Love OPI

So this is basically an I haven't had on polish for a few days and it bugs me quick mani. I had plans to let my nails breathe for a bit. Yeah, that didn't happen. So I decided to go for one I had not used before. Dark since I just hacked all my nails off because of 1 broken one. Of course little miss girly wanted her nails done as well. 

I used OPI Honk If You Love OPI for myself. It is a very pretty plum purple. It's really nice that I can get away with just 1 coat. Just thick enough to cover completely, but not goopy or streaky at all. 

Miss Emma Love (my little LoveBug) wanted pink as usual, so we grabbed a random one that happened to be OPI Regis Raves. One of the many things I love about OPI, is how quickly it dries. I reach for them a lot for her. A 2 year old will only sit still for so long, even when doing something she loves. So they are perfect. Regis Raves is the perfect girly pink! Not too light, not too dark. I would use 2 coats for myself, but little hands are good with just 1 coat.
