The Beauty Quartet Out With the Cold, In With the Hue April Box: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hello! I am excited to share with you The Beauty Quartet Box for April, themed Out With the Cold, In With the Hue. If you don't have experience with the previously released boxes, here is a little blurb to introduce you: 

So, with that info in hand, you are probably wondering what is in this month's box. April's Out With the Cold, In With the Hue box will consist of four polishes from Smokey Mountain Lacquers, Philly Loves Lacquer, Digital Nails, and guest maker Rica, as well as four other nail products from those same makers. 

The Beauty Quartet Box is available now until March 15th, as a pre-order (though quantities max out at 50) in Philly Loves Lacquer's shop for $50 shipped in the US, $55 shipped to Canada, and $60 shipped internationally. 

Smokey Mountain Lacquers Electric Sun

Two coats

Mid-tone yellow creme with yellow shimmer

This is such a sunny color, you can't help but be cheered up by it. No issues with formula. 

Smokey Mount Lacquers Chocolate Angel Cake Cuticle Oil Rollerball

This is a full size rollerball, not a mini. The scent is just the right amount of sweetness to it. 

Rica You're No April Fool

Three coats

Magenta linear holographic

I love the color, it's definitely one of my favorite shades of pink. The formula is on the thin side, but I got full color coverage in three coats. I don't have any direct sunlight photos for you, as the weather has been rainy and gloomy for weeks where I live. 

Rica Glossy Glam Top Coat

This is a full size bottle of top coat, which was a very nice addition, I can never have too much top coat. 

Digital Nails To Thine Own Self Be True

Two coats

Bright periwinkle blue with varied blue iridescent glitter

Another beautiful color! I especially like the glints of iridescence you see from the glitter in periwinkle base. It is on the thick side but that did not give me issues with application. 

Digital Nails Bitter Almond Handmade Soap Square

This soap is just the right size and smells so good. 

Philly Loves Lacquer Screw You, Groundhog! 

Two coats

Coral orange linear holo with gold shimmer

I am gonna mention the color again but it's only because that is my favorite aspect of the box, all four polish colors (including this one) are nice and bright and definitely fit into the theme. This holo has a jelly base but it is opaque enough that I need just two coats for coverage. 

Philly Loves Lacquer Could It BE Any Sunnier?! linear holographic top coat

This little mini bottle is so cute! And you can add some holo sparkle to whatever base you choose. 

As I mentioned early, I wasn't able to get direct sunlight photos but I still wanted to show off how it would look over a base, so I applied it over one of my go-to blues, Nina Ultra Pro Cobalt

Remember the box is only available via Philly Loves Lacquer's shop until March 15th

Cupcake Polish's Sweet Addictions Monthly Subscription Box: August Edition

Hey guys! Today I have Cupcake Polish's Sweet Addictions Monthly Box for August to share. This month the theme is the Circus and along with a polish from Cupcake Polish, it will also include a polish from Philly Loves Lacquer and a set of nail shields and decals from Love, Angeline. I think the theme is just perfect for this summer month, and each item is fun and playful. All the items shown are exclusive to this month's box and will be available only through Cupcake Polish's shop this Sunday, July 27th at 11 am CST. The box will be sold for $30 (plus shipping) and is available for both US and International buyers.

Cupcake Polish Topsy Turvy

Two coats

Teal linear holo with gold micro-shimmer.

I can not tell you just how much I adore this polish. It is stunning in real life. 

The holo is loud and proud and it applies really well. I have been craving teal holos lately and this really hit the spot, it's gorgeous. 

Philly Loves Lacquer Trilby

Purple jelly with blue, orange, red, & purple diamonds, squares, and hexes with gold shimmer.

 It's such a lovely purple and with a fun mix of colored glitter. 

4Boys 1Mom Lacquer has her review up as well.

Love, Angeline's Stuck On Love Nail Shields and Decals

The box will include diamond shaped nail shields and elephant decals, all fitting in with the Circus theme. 

I wanted to have a look reminiscent of a Circus Big Top tent, so I went with bright blue, orange and yellow and red diamonds and applied the white elephant decals. You could also apply the black diamond shapes separately and use the elephant shape as a cutout, so many options with these. 

The Sweet Addictions Box for August will be available only through Cupcake Polish's shop on July 27th, 11 am CST, for $30 plus shipping and will ship worldwide.
