Today I have something else exciting to share with you! I feel like I start every post like this lately, but I am just honestly so excited with all the new launched here in the UK.
Meebox is the latest launch and it is a brand new monthly subscription service dedicated to all things nails! Meebox has just launched and this is their very first box. They were kind enough to send one to me for review. Meebox will feature the worlds most sought after polish and nail treatment brands and colours as well as the best independent polishes.
I have LIVE SWATCHES of this box on my YouTube channel!
Every month on the 1st Meebox will announce the theme. This month is California Dreaming'. Boxes are limited so you have to be quick! You can either do a one off payment of £20, or receive a discount for long term subscriptions. This way you'll be saving money and you'll never miss a box! The box will ship around the middle of the month with tracking!
The reason I love subscription boxes is because it's like a little present every month.
Everything was wrapped up nicely so that nothing could break during transit.
The theme this month was California Dreaming' and I think these colours are perfect, they're bright, vibrant neon colours perfect for hot summer days (if the english weather would cooperate....). The nail vinyls are shaped like palm trees!
This is a beautiful green toned turquoise. It's very vibrant and perfect for summer.
This is part of the hypergel line from Models Own, meaning it's glossy and long lasting like gel polish, but without the curing UV light.
The formula was great. I used 2 coats for the swatch.
The first coat was pretty streaky, but as it dried the streaks actually disappeared! It was still slightly uneven so I did apply a second coat.
It dried super glossy so I didn't need a topcoat.
This is a very saturated, bright, deep purple.
The formula was a little on the thick side and I needed 2 coats for full opacity.
The first coat was very opaque, but I had some spots that weren't quite covered.
This dried matte so I did apply a topcoat for the swatch.
This is impossible to photograph so please don't take this swatch to be true to colour.
This is definitely a neon. It's a very orange with a hint of pink.
This is famous for a few reasons. Firstly because it's an absolutely stunning neon. Secondly because the formula has changed and everyone is obsessed with getting both formula. Thirdly because it has the most difficult formula in the world. I might be over exaggerating a little, but it does have a difficult formula.
I used 3 coats for the swatch. The first coat was very streak and uneven. This polish also doesn't self level meaning you don't have a smooth finish on your nail. I applied a thicker second coat, but it was still quite streaky. I used 3 coats for the swatch, but it still wasn't perfect. I would recommend using this over a white base.
It dries matte so I did apply a topcoat for the swatch.
I think it's a great colour selection and the three polishes included come from very popular brands. The nail vinyl from What's Up Nail Store is also a great addition to this box. I also love the fact they added swatch sticks to the box, this way you can try out the polishes even if you've just painted your nails. It's also great if this is your way of organising your stash. I haven't tried the cuticle oil yet, but I'm seriously in love with the smell, it reminds of of almond spicy biscuits I used to eat in Holland <3
I won't go into detail because I have a whole tutorial of these featured in my review video!
I used all three polishes from the box for the gradient and I used the stencil from What's Up Nails. I also used by Barry M Nail Art Pen to draw the ground for the palm trees.
What do you think of the first Meebox? Will you be getting the next one? I can't wait to hear the theme!!
