Hi everyone! I have a very special review for today. I was included in this round of The Color Box, which is a newer collaboration box.
The idea came from Julie from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer, Manna from Manna's Manis and Jen of xoxo, Jen. They wanted to have a single color themed box of custom blogger designed polishes. In each box, they would invite new and well-known brands and bloggers. The fans vote for the color, and the box is then available via a pre-order launch that lasts a full week. Each brand also has the option of listing their polish in their own shop after the box has been shipped.
This time green was the color vote! I will admit that green is not my first color choice but I am really glad I joined as the green polishes these makers and bloggers came up with are truly outstanding.
The box pre-order starts on November 25th and through December 2nd at The Color Box shop.
Blue Eyed-Girl Lacquer Green's Alexandrite With Me!
Two coats
Deep green holographic with green/purple & green/blue/purple ultra chrome flakes plus aqua/green color shifting flakes
Blogger An of The Polished Hippy worked with Julie of Blue Eyed-Girl Lacquer to come up with this green flake/shimmer/holo/awesomebomb of a polish.
Slightly thicker in formula, due to the various flakes and pigment but goes on okay with two thinner coats. I love how all those flakes are mixed together, it could have easily be muddled but it does not! It just looks complex and gorgeous polish.
Fair Maiden Polish Hidden Lair
Two coats
Olive green holographic with chartreuse green flash
Blogger Jen of xoxo, Jen worked with Adrienne & Sarah of Fair Maiden Polish to bring us this WHOA type of holo. I love LOVE the flashes of chartreuse in the base. Applies flawlessly with two coats.
Great Lakes Lacquer Manna's Magical Masterpiece
Three coats
Sea green crelly with blue/green shifting shimmer, purple shimmer, and a dash of scattered holo
Blogger Manna of Manna's Manis worked with Mariah of Great Lakes Lacquer to create this swoon worthy sea green. The shimmer is magical. It has a thinner style formula so you may get opaque coverage in three to four coats depending on how you apply, I have it shown in with three coats.
le polish Succulent Stargazer
Three coats
Light jadeite green crelly with silver and pink shimmer plus pink micro-flakes and platinum flakes
I am the blogger for this one! I worked with Allison of le polish. I had a Pinterest board filled with jadeite glass, dewy pink tinged succulents and goodness, Allison more than delivered. I love the delicateness of it all, with the light green that does look very much like jadeite glass and the silver and pink accents. Formula was easy to work with, I applied three thin coats and got the opacity I wanted.
NeVerMind Polish Princess Ozma
Two coats
Shimmery emerald green with holo micro-flakes
Blogger Karina of Just the Polished Tip worked with Jenn of NeVerMind Polish to design this shimmery green beauty. It's such a beautiful and lush shade of emerald and of course, the added holo give you the sparkle. Application was good, two thin coats for coverage.
