Hey guys!
Today I have the Nail the Mail box for November to share with you guys!
Nail the Mail is a Danish nail polish shop that ships to most of Europe. They made this nail polish subscription box that you can read all about here.
The November box contains piCture pOlish Scarlett, Appeal4 Midnight Green, a glitter polish from Sorbet Seams, and the little something extra is nail foil.
First up is piCture pOlish Scarlett - a beautiful dark pink with a bijou holo finish.
The formula is nothing less than amazing and it applies like a dream. The opacity is great as well and it is technically opaque in one coat, but the second coat really deepens the color.
Here is a macro-shot of Scarlett. You can really see the beautiful bijou finish in this picture.
Next up is Appeal4 Midnight Green, which is a dark teal jelly.
The formula is good on this one - it is easy to apply and not too thick nor too thin. The opacity is not that good, but I expected nothing less, as it is a jelly polish - their opacity is supposed to be this way. I used three thin coats for the picture above.
A few days ago I made a jelly sandwich with this lovely polish. Check it out here.
The last polish of the box is this awesome glitter polish from Sorbet Seams. The polish contains glitter in almost all shapes and sizes ranging from metallics to black - all in a clear base.
The glitter pay-off on this one is great with minimum digging needed - on the picture above I used one coat. Even though there is a lot of glitter in this polish, it is really easy to apply.
The little something extra this month are these pretty nail foils (look at that holo!).
I am ecstatic about this month's box and all the products are amazing! You've done it again Nina!
What do you guys think about it? Let me know in the comments!
Stay polished.

Ps. this box is sponsored by Nail the Mail, but everything I write is my honest opinion.

Jelly Sandwich
Hey guys!
Today I have a jelly sandwich inspired by the sweet Nail Newbee to show you guys!
For the manicure I started off with two coats of the dark teal jelly polish Appeal4 Midnight Green on all my nails. Afterwards I alternated between the silver glitter Essie Set in Stones and Appeal4 Midnight Green to make the jelly sandwich effect.
These kinds of manicures take forever to make, but they are definitely worth it!

Halloween
Hey guys!
Today I have some Halloween nail art inspired by The Nail Trail to show you!
For the manicure I started off with a white base on all my nails. Afterwards I made a twilight gradient with Essie Smokin' Hot (dark purple), Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck (light purple), and By K. Dandelion (the barely visible yellow). Lastly I freehanded the graveyard silhouette with a small nail art brush and watered down black acrylic paint.
I love how this manicure turned out! So creepy!

Den Store Bagedyst
Hello ladies!
Today I have some nail art inspired by a cake by Ditte from Den Store Bagedyst (The Great Danish Bake Off) to show you guys!
For the manicure I started off with a white base of piCture pOlish Bright White on my middle finger, ring finger, and pinky and a pink base of Essie Lovie Dovie on my pointer and thumb. Afterwards I used a dotting tool and white acrylic paint to make the polka dots on my pointer and thumb and a make-up sponge and the following polishes: Essie I Pink I Can, Essie Lovie Dovie, and Essie Watermelon to make the gradient on my pinky and ring finger. Lastly I freehanded the Minnie Mouse head on my middle finger with a small nail art brush and acrylic paint.
I need to make some more cake-inspired nail art!

OPI Give Me Space
Hey guys!
Today I have a swatch and review of OPI Give Me Space from the new OPI Starlight Holiday 2015 collection!
Give Me Space is a dark blue scattered holo.
The formula was amazing and it applies to the nail like a dream. It is opaque in two thin coats and it dries really fast, which makes for a quick manicure.
The holo is not visible inside, but in the sun (or under the flash-light on your phone LOL) it is beautiful!
I am so glad brands like OPI is finally making scattered holos! More of that please!

Barry M Mustard
Hey guys!
Today I have a swatch and review of Barry M Mustard to share with you.
This polish has been a major lemming of mine since forever and when LuxBeauty.dk got Barry M, I knew I had to have it!
The formula was great - a little on the thick side, but I like it that way. The opacity was amazing for a yellow polish and it was opaque in two thin coats.
I added some studs and some glitter to spice this swatch up a bit.
This color is just perfect for fall and I am so glad I finally got my hands on it!
