80s Pool Party

Inspiration:May 2015 Rainbow Honey Mini Mystery Bag and Birchbox LE Under the Sun Box

Products: ncLA Swim Club Bikinis & Martinis, Rainbow Honey Neon Yoshimi

Thoughts: Normally I try to use all my Rainbow Honey mystery bag polishes, together, but this month's just did not work together.  However, Neon Yoshimi was just begging to be layered on top of pink, so Bikinis & Martinis worked perfectly!

In the Box: Birchbox Limited Edition Under the Sun

I love when Birchbox (clicking will take you through my referral link) does LE boxes.  For summer, they just released their Under the Sun box, which contains great summer essentials.  The nail polish included was part of ncLA's Swim Club collection, Bikinis & Martinis.  It is a pink (and not the type of pink I like) that does offset a tan very well, but the formula is rather streaky, which is not something I would expect for a polisht that runs $16 a bottle.

What other goodies did I get?  Baggu Standard Baggu Tote Bag in stipes, Cynthia Rowley Beauty Beauty on the Go Multi Blush & Bronzer Duo in Pink and Bronze, Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour in Cameo, Sugarpova Flirty Lips Like Sugar Gummy Candy, Chloe + Isabel Birchbox Exclusive Medina Convertible Pendant Necklace, Knockaround Premiums with case, and Supergoop! Skin Soothing Mineral Sunscreen with Olive Polyphenols SPF 40.

Mermaid Sea

Inspiration:Color  

Products: Cult Nails Intriguing, Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream

Thoughts: Cornflower seems to be having a moment right now, and I love this semi holo version.  I think the mint glitter makes for a great compliment.

Fairy Garden

Inspiration: April 2015 Rainbow Honey Mini Mystery Bag  

Products: Rainbow Honey Delphine, Eidolon, and Thistle Tresses

Thoughts: These have to be my favorite three colors (as a set) from a Rainbow Honey Mystery Bag yet!  They just begged to be layered and look so awesome when I did!  I also got a lip balm and scrub in Melon Fizz and a cuticle oil in Pomelo.

Magical Butterfly Toes

Inspiration: Magical Butterfly on page 58 of the March/April 2015 issue of Nail It!

Products: Julie G Damsel, Art Club Nail Art Duo Black, Color Club Heirloom Pearls, Aquamarine Azulino, Breakfast At...

Thoughts: Totally cute butterfly, although the Aquamarine Azulino dominated the wings.  No way I could have painted this on my fingers, so since I did my toes, I used the brightest color for the other toes.

In the Box: April 2015 Ipsy

It feels like forever (OK, only a few months) since I received nail polish in my Ipsy bag (clicking will take you through my referral link), but this month I did.  Julie G Damsel is a great spring-to-summer pink creme - and I love it!
What other goodies did I get? Hikari Cosmetics Blush in Tango, theBalm Cosmetics NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single in Flirty, Mica Beauty Eye Primer, and Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oak Milk.

Products: Julep Nicolette, Abbie, Harley, Annie, Leah, and Max
