* I received the following in exchange for my honest review
As I announced a little while back I was one of the bloggers selected to participate in The Color Box this quarter. This box was founded by Manna from Manna's Manis, Jen from xoxo, Jen, Amanda from Amanda Loves Polish, and Julie from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer. This box is a collaborative effort between 5 bloggers and 5 brands to create polishes based on a color theme. The theme for this round was blue! I was really excited to be asked to join in this collaboration because I love blue! I got to work with the talented and sweet Julie from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer. This blue box excellent. There are a variety of shades of blue and different finishes.
This box is pre-order only between 3/10-3/17. There will be 20 boxes to purchase at the upcoming Indie Shop in Atlanta on 3/11. After the pre-order boxes have been shipped some makers will make these polishes available individually on their website.
Let's get started! Stay tuned for a giveaway at the end!
Niagara Sunrise
Imperfectly Painted + Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer
Color Inspiration: I really wanted to honor the spring season with a color from Pantone 2017's Color Report, so I chose the serene blue Niagara from the lineup. I came up with the collage above for Julie. She did a spectacular job capturing the inspiration. You know I love copper and gold paired with blue. The shimmer contrasts beautifully while still maintaining the dusty softness of the blue base color.
Formula: This had a very nice and easy to use formula. The formula was a touch on the thicker side, but it applied easily and opaquely in 2 coats. This does dry to a satin finish, so I recommend adding top coat!
Manna's Mystical Masterpiece
Manna's Manis + Tonic Polish
Formula: This had a easy to use formula. It was sheerer on the first coat, but built up to opacity in 3 coats for me.
Texas Treasures
Polish Galore + Supermoon Lacquer
Formula: This had a very smooth and easy to use formula. It applied perfectly in 2 coats.
Sakura Skies
xoxo, Jen + Baroness X
Formula: This also had a nice formula. It was a thicker formula but applied easily in 2 coats.
Blue A Fuse
Bruised Up Dollie + BLUSH Lacquers
Formula: This had a sheerer formula but built up nicely in 2 coats. The black shreds can move around a bit when painting your nail, but I didn't find this to be a major issue.
The Color Box will be released for preorder 3/10-3/17 on The Color Box site. The cost will be $45 + shipping and this can be shipped internationally. Don't forget 20 boxes will be sold at The Indie Shop Atlanta this Saturday, 3/11!
