The Digit-al Dozen Day 1 and 5: Unicorns + Holo = Awesome!

(Press samples ahead!)

Hello!


So today's the final day of The Digit-al Dozen's Holo theme, and since I missed day 1, I decided to do two manis with holo in this post...plus a bonus third mani...;-)


For these manis, I used My Mani Box's August box. If you aren't familiar with My Mani Box, it's a curated mystery box for nail stamping fanatics that you can buy just one time or get on a subscription basis. You get at least two plates, a polish or another equivalent value item, and several nail art accessories. If you buy just one box, the cost is $35, and if you get a subscription, the cost drops according to the length of time you sign up for.


You can't buy past kits, but to show you what type of stuff you get, here's a look at the contents of the August box, which had a unicorn theme:

Contents: 
Danglefoot What's Your Unicorn Name scattered holo polish (exclusive to the box)
MoYou London Hipster Collection 23
MoYou London Hipster Collection 24
1 Coupon for a free polish through Beautometry
2 pots diamond glitters
2 striping tapes
1 set unicorn nail wraps
1 "What's your unicorn name" activity sheet


For a more in-depth look at the contents, check out the video review I did:

Here's a close-up of the two plates that came in the box, which I used for my manis:

For my first mani, I started with a base of the polish that came with the kit, Danglefoot Polish What's Your Unicorn Name, and I stamped with Moyra Silver, and filled in my unicorns with Wikkid Polish Satin Blue, (coming soon to Lantern & Wren):

For my second mani, I went an alternate holo route--holo glitter! I layered Spellbound Nails Hem, Hem over Metamorphmagus, then stamped with Moyra Silver, using MoYou London 24:

And for my final mani, I started with a base of Spellbound Nails Prophecy, and stamped with Moyra Silver and Kaleidoscope White, with MoYou London Hipster 23:

So, what do I think about the box? Like the others I've reviewed (click here to see June's box, and here to see May's box), I think this is an excellent value for your money. The only question is whether or not you're the sort of person who likes to be surprised (I am definitely that sort of person!). If you aren't, probably any sort of surprise-based box like this doesn't work for you. But if you are, you can rest assured you'll get an selection of quality up-to-date items in hot themes.


And, that's it for Holo week! Do you have a favorite of the holo manis I did this week?

Big hugs,
M. xoxo
