So I started doing nail designs based off beauty boxes in my last blog (which I've now deleted because I just got sick of reviewing skincare/makeup, I just want to do nails lol) and I'm continuing that trend in this blog because some beauty boxes (like Birchbox) just scream NAILS. Look Fantastic used to, however in January they stopped doing different designs every month in favour of these boring block colour looks.
I hate them. This nail look isn't one of my favourites however, this box did highlight just how few greens I have so that did stump my creativity a little. I ended up having to use a stamping polish as the base and whereas they're super opaque (that's just one coat) they have a habit of staining the cuticle and just being quite messy when used as a base coat.
That Nails Inc polish I ended up sponging on as it it tends to look a little streaky when applied normally. I applied it on top of the green base but I'm thinking I should've done black now to give it a little more contrast.
So, not my favourite (perhaps I'll post last months LF box nails in a throwback thursday or something, that was much better) but hey ho, what can you do? On another note, I'm enjoying the box contents (for once). The blusher is a beautiful mauve shade and it's nice to see Dr. Lipp release a new product for the first time in ever.
