Mani of the Month: March

I look forward to my Mani of the Month box every few weeks with much anticipation. Not only do I love getting the gorgeous little package wrapped up just for me, I love to see what the creative minds have come up with for that month's theme. 

March was, predictably, St. Patrick's Day themed and while that's not so much a draw here in Italy, I was excited just the same. I am not really a fan of green. Mint? Aqua? Teal? Yes! Green green? Eh. The polish in this month's box, though, was perfect. 

The box contained:

From Dream Polish

•  A 5 ml Gem Smooth Base Coat in Lucky Charms 
• A 5ml Gem Glam Top Coat in Lucky Charms 
• A 5ml Cuticle Oil in Lucky Charms 

From Heather's Hues 

• A polish mini in I'm So Blarney Stoned 
• A full sized polish in Kiss Me, I'm Irish 

From Nails Redesigned 

• A sheet of vinyl shamrocks 
• A sheet of vinyl horse shoes 
• A sheet of vinyl charm masks 
• An assortment of gems 

The polish is very pretty. It's not green so much as it's chock full of greens and golds maybe it's a little dimensional. I like the gold flakes through it a lot. The compliment glitter is the same combination of gold and green and nicely dense, but not full on opaque. 

 I stamped over it with a gold in an alligator pattern because I loved the texture of it.  As always the formula of Heather's Hues is amazing, opaque, pigmented, and easy to work with.

Lucky Charms is not a cereal that we get here in Italy.  Occasionally I'll run across what I assume is something similar, so I honestly can't tell you how authentic the scent it.  But to me,  the scent in this month's box is delicious.  It's definitely a sweet vanilla marshmallow scents the cats keep trying to lick off my hands.  I love the fact there is always a cuticle product included, the little sizes are perfect for pockets.  And as always, the Gem Glam topcoat is the ONLY one I use.

Once again, the vinyls are amazing.  My nails are very currved and I typically can't wear decals unless they're just perfect, and these are!

 The boxes are selling out faster than ever!  Starting in April there will be surprises from guest sponsors, as well, so as if they were not amazing as is, there is one more reason to give them a try.

With Glitter and Gratitude,
