My Mani Box review: September 2018

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello!


I'm back today with a look at another My Mani Box, this time the September 2018 box...If you don't already know,  My Mani Box is a subscription box service through Beautometry, where they curate nail stamping supplies around a theme each month for nail art fans. To be clear, you can't buy this box anymore (although you can buy some of the contents through Beautometry), but this will give you a look at the type of contents you get, and some ideas for manis. :)


Let's take a look at what was inside:

Beautometry's September My Mani Box

Here's what's all in the contents:
  • 2 pouches pumpkin spice sugar scrub
  • water decals
  • 2 nail art leaves
  • MoYou London Festive Collection 61 plate
  • MoYou London Festive Collection 62 plate
  • Dixie Plates Thanksgiving 01 plate


Here's a closer look at the stamping plates:

Okay, on to the manis! I love nail art challenges, so this became a little mini-challenge of how to use fall, Thanksgiving, and Halloween-themed images during spring/Valentine's season, so let's take a look at what I came up with...

I call this first one "Wednesday Addams is so OVER Valentine's Day...":


MoYou London Festive 61 and 62 over Zoya Brighton and Everly

MoYou London Festive 61 and 62 over Zoya Brighton and Everly

Base Polish(es): Zoya Brighton and Zoya Everly
Stamping Plate(s): MoYou London Festive 61 and 62
Stamping Polish(es)Girly Bits Cosmetics Little Black Dress and White Wedding

Can I just say how much I adore those little hearts with the scary jack-o-lantern faces and the bones?!


In a similar vein, I can the next one "Love Potion #9"...:


MoYou London Festive 61 and 62 over Zoya Everly

Base Polish(es): Zoya Everly
Stamping Plate(s): MoYou London Festive 61 and 62
Stamping Polish(es): Girly Bits Cosmetics Little Black Dress and White Wedding

Nothing wrong with a little love potion to get your Valentine's night going right...;-)


Next I did a simple manicure that I have to admit I'd wear all year 'round:

Base Polish(es): Zoya Brighton
Stamping Plate(s): MoYou London Festive 62
Stamping Polish(es): Girly Bits Cosmetics Little Black Dress

Simple, fun, and pretty. :)

The next mani is pretty fall-ish, but I do think these images could work for spring or summer to:

Dixie Plates Thanksgiving 01 over Girly Bits You Can't Handle The Spruce and Irreplaceable

Base Polish(es): Girly Bits Irreplaceable and You Can't Handle The Spruce
Stamping Plate(s): Dixie Plates Thanksgiving 01
Stamping Polish(es): Girly Bits You Can't Handle The Spuce
Other: Nail art skeleton leaves


And for the last mani, I went with a timeless manicure, a mermaid!:


MoYou London Festive 62 over The Lady Varnishes Sky Reflections

MoYou London Festive 62 over The Lady Varnishes Sky Reflections

Base Polish(es): Sally Hansen Creme De La Creme and The Lady Varnishes Sky Reflections
Stamping Plate(s): MoYou London Festive 62
Stamping Polish(es): Girly Bits White Wedding & Silver Bells, and Moonflower Amatista
Other: Loose glitter diamonds from the August My Mani Box.


So what do I think? For $35, I think this box again is a good value for your money, and as always, I just love the fun of opening up a box like this and playing! If you'd like to see a few other boxes to judge if this is something you'd like, you can find my review of the August box here, the June box here, and the May box here.

Big hugs,
