Spring Fling BlackBox

These colors are absolutely stunning! My favorite color is pink, and I really love this one! And the blue iridescent polish is just...to die for!

The Polishes

Y'all...this polish...this polish right here...omg. I absolutely love it! It is so flakey, and beautiful. It's a very blue iridescent over a black base, but every now and then I catch a glimpse of yellow, or purple, or even green! I've recently discovered a great way to build up a glitter/flakey polish on your nail if it's in a clear base on your nail without needing 3-4 layers, and it's this: put a little on a makeup sponge, and just sponge it on your nails! That's what I did for my pointer, and pinky fingernails in this mani! Usually to get opacity like what's pictured above, you would need about 3, maybe even a 4th coat, and then your nail would be so tall from all the polish. But not with the sponging technique! I wish I could remember where I first saw it!

What can I really say about Belmont Shore? It's a gorgeous bubble gum pink! And I'm a total sucker for pink polishes. lol. But I think it may be a close dupe with an Essie I have. I'll do a comparison swatch soon(: I used 2 coats in my mani above. I could still see my VNL with just a single coat, and y'all know me, I'm not too big on my own VNLs.

The Extras

So also included in this darling little BlackBox is a set of 7 brushes in a cute little leather folding case, and a BH Cosmetics Waterproof Eye Crayon.

The brushes are great as far as I can tell. I don't do my makeup often right now being unemployed, but the brushes seem to be of good quality. I do however prefer "fluffy" brushes as opposed to the more "dense" brushes? I'm not sure if that makes sense to y'all, but it does in my head. I wear my makeup a certain way majority of the time, and it require me to usually blend two eye shadows, and that's easily accomplished with a fluffy brush. I would use these brushes if I wanted to pack on some pigment(;

The BH Cosmetics Waterproof Eye Crayon came in the perfect color for me, Crystal. It's this bright white shimmery color, and it is practically a dupe for the color I use at the inner corner of my eyes to make them pop. This being in a crayon makes it so much easier for application.

Final Thoughts

The polishes alone make this BlackBox worth the buy for me. The brushes, and eye crayon are just a pleasant bonus. The formula for these polishes are on point, and the colors are just so beautiful! I have been using Hollywood Forever for quite a few manis recently(;
