Beautometry's June My Mani Box!

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello!


So a few days ago, I reviewed Beautometry's May "My Mani Box," a subscription box that sends you a sweet package of nail stamping goodness each month, and reported that I thought it was an excellent value, and a lot of fun...Well, I'm back to take a look at the June box, and see if it holds up to what the quality of the first box.


Here's a look at the full contents:

The theme for this box is 'travel', so I think it's really cool that they include a travel-sized glass file in the box:

This box also includes some cuticle barrier for your nail art:

The box includes two MoYou London plates, Mix & Match collection 13, which has a very cool retro 90s Miami Vice kinda vibe:

And MoYou London Explorer Collection 33:

And here are some shots with a ruler so you can judge the size of all those little images:




The polish in this box is Femme Fatale Fates Bound Together, which, OMG--is one of the prettiest polishes I've seen ever, including a duochrome blue/purple element, flakies, and a thermal blue/purple element, so pretty much all the time you've got beautiful shift:

Here's what it looks like on--tell me this isn't ah-maze-ing:

The box also included Hit The Bottle Polish Holo There Beautiful, a stunning silver holo stamping polish:

So, to recap, here's what all you get:

Okay, before we get into manis, let's do a recap. I am again impressed by the contents of the box. It's clear after seeing two boxes now that Beautometry takes care to pick a really special polish for the box that matches the theme and images on the plates--not just a run-of-the-mill polish. And, of course, the quality of the items are great--MoYou London plates are the best.


So let's count up the value:

Two MoYou London plates: $19.98
Femme Fatale specialty polish: $13.00
Hit The Bottle Mini: $4.00 (approx)
Peel Putty: $9.50 (based on similar cuticle guards)
Travel-size glass file: $7.50 (based on similar product)
Total value: $53.98

So yeah--I'd say this is well worth even the most expensive $35 price for the box (the cost of the box goes down if you subscribe for more than one month). Great value and great quality--that combo doesn't come along every day!


Okay, now it's time to play! For my first mani, I couldn't resist playing with those llamas on MoYou London Explorer Collection 33!!! I started with a base of Zoya Cole, then stamped and did some reversed stamping with Messy Mansion Carbon, Misty Jade, and Hydrangea Blue and Zoya Jack. Here's how it turned out:

For this next mani, I went simple. I just wanted to play a little with holo stamping over the beautiful colors in Femme Fatale Fates Bound Together, so I stamped what's supposed to look like a moon reflecting off a pool...I'm not sure it came out like I hoped, but I still think it's crazy pretty:

And to celebrate the color change with the thermal, I grabbed a shot of the polish when it was a little colder:

For my final mani, I went full-on retro, baby! I started with a base of Zoya Daisy, then stamped and did some reversed stamping with MoYou London Mix & Match 13, Messy Mansion Misty Jade, Hydrangea Blue, and Petal, and Hit The Bottle Polish Holo There Beautiful:
