Mani of the Month: May

I was super excited to get May's Mani of the Month box yesterday!  It came super early this month, the wait is usually really hard!


This month the box contained:

From Dream Polish

  •  An unscented 5 ml Gem Stick Base Coat
  • A 5ml Gem Glam Top Coat in Butterfly Garden
  • A full sized cuticle pen in Butterfly Garden
From Heather's Hues

  • A polish mini in Flowers in Her Hair
  • A full sized photosensitive polish in Petales de Fleurs

From Nails Redesigned

  • A sheet of pink and a sheet of purple glittery flowers
  • A sheet of super cute green grass
  • A small sample of large chevrons
  • Assorted gems
Butterfly Garden is a soft scent.  It's a floral and that's all I could tell thanks to a wicked case of allergies.  I wanted to say it's on a green floral base, which I tend to love.  I emailed Vanessa for a hint!  She says it's a mix of nectary florals!

New to the kits this month are the oil pens instead of the little tubes of balms.  I love the pens for  ease.  They click just the right amount of oil up and get right into the little curves of your cuticle.  I particularly love them when I've got a rough spot, I can just spot treat it.

This month's main polish from Heather's Hues is like nothing else I've used before!  It's solar activated, photoreactive!  It changes colours in the sunlight (fake light doesn't work) and goes from a clear shimmer to a gorgeous violet shade!


 It's sort of tricky to work with because applying it (indoors) it's hard to tell what's going on because it's basically clear.  I was working with some vinyls from the kit and had to guess if I had it thick enough in spots but it's worth the learning curve!

Also included this month was a mini from Fangirl Polish.  It's called Daisy and it's perfect.
Once again, I am completely thrilled with this box.  June's box went on sale this morning and from the look of things, is already sold out!  I hope you got one in time!
