Hello!
So, I have to admit...I love subscription box services. I've belonged to a few, and I love getting a little box of surprises each month that makes me feel like I have a little piece of Christmas all year long.
If you haven't heard of it, Beautometry has a monthly subscription box they call "My Mani Box", designed for nail stampers that gathers goodies from all around the world according to a different theme every month. And, they recently sent me two boxes to evaluate. So today we're going to take a look at the May box, which has a dinosaur theme, and see what we see.

First up--a gorgeous multichrome magnetic flakie polish, Ms. Sparkle Fallen Kingdom:

Here's what it looks like on--I applied the magnet at the top of my nails, diagonally:

The box also included a pot of dried flowers and leaves:

And this box came with THREE plates!

So, to sum up, here's what you get:

Okay, before I show you the manis I did with this, let's talk about whether or not I think this is a good value. If you buy only a single box, the cost is $35, plus $5 shipping. If you sign up for more than one box, the price goes down depending on how many months you sign up for. So, let's assume that we're looking at the most expensive version of this, $35. I'm not going to count the shipping, because you'd have to pay the shipping if you bought the items anywhere. So, let's do a tally:
2 MoYou London plates = $19.98
Clear Jelly Stamper plate = $14.50
Ms. Sparkle magnetic polish = $9.75 (Probably more than this because it's a specialty polish)
Magnet = $8.00
Dried flowers = $0.50 (I couldn't find single pots, but I found 12 pots for $10, so I rounded down)
Total value: $52.73
So, yes, I'd say this is a very good value for the money--especially since the products, like MoYou London plates, are top-notch quality. Of course, you don't get to pick your items, so you risk getting something that you don't like. But, I think what that comes down to is whether the experience of getting a box full of surprises is something you enjoy--if so, that more than makes up for the risk. If you're not, these sorts of curated boxes probably aren't the best way to go. :)
So, on to the manis! For my first mani, I started with Ms. Sparkle Fallen Kingdom, and stamped images from MoYou London Mother Nature 19. I stamped with Messy Mansion Soft Gold:

For my second mani, I wanted something simple. I started with a base of Zoya Alyssa, and then stamped an image from MoYou London Mother Nature 18 with Hit The Bottle Polish Holo There Beautiful:

I have to admit...I've been admiring that dinosaur plate for a while, so I had a blast making a pterodactyl manicure. :)
