Modern Classic BlackBox

This BlackBox has the perfect name, in my opinion. These 3 colors are so classic, you just can't go wrong with them!!!


The Polishes


I have seriously been searching for the perfect gold glitter bomb, but I've never been able to find it. Either the glitters are different sizes (which is not what I've been wanting), or the formula is goopy. But this. This beautiful gold glitter bomb is just...perfect! It took me 4 THIN coats of this for it to be completely opaque (as seen on my pinky above). I would've been fine with just 3 thin coats, but I like to be extra sure. haha.

Boneyards is a beautiful deep grey. My first real grey polish (I've been making my own when need be). This is definitely a one coat polish, as pictured above. I only used a single coat, and BAM! Opaqueness! It really is beautiful. And even though it's summer time, I've got this color on my toes right now! hehe. It's just amazing!

This beautiful creamy red polish COULD be a one coat polish, but only if you're ok with VNL's (visible nail lines). I'm not really a fan of VNL's, so I used 2 coats to cover them up. Like majority of the red polishes out there, this baby does stain your skin! So be cautious. lol. Even though I do have an OPI that is very similar to this shade, I do enjoy it. It looks really bright in the bottle on the right, but IRL (in real life) it's just a little darker. Not too much though, and it is still very pretty.



The Dotting Tools

I am a sucker for dotting tools, especially if they are really pretty like these! These 5 are included in the Modern Classic BlackBox, and are double sided. As far as I can tell, these are absolutely wonderful. My old set of dotting tools I had to super glue the actual dotting end back into the handle, but I haven't had any problems with these yet. And I really do love these colors. So gorgeous!





Final Thoughts

This BlackBox is definitely worth the buy for me. The polishes are beautiful, and work so well together. The dotting tools are of good quality, just like the polishes, and is just even more reasoning to buy this BlackBox! I hope y'all have enjoyed this little review over this amazing product that CULT Cosmetics has provided for me. Paint on my lovely nail ladies!!!

Festival Lights BlackBox

First let me start by saying that I LOVE THIS BLACKBOX! The polishes are absolutely stunning, and look perfect together! I mean, just look how pretty!

Nail Vinyls Purchased Here

The Polishes


I absolutely LOVE this "holo"! It's my first holo, so I am just in awe! I can't believe I haven't purchased any before this! In the mani pictured above, I used 3 thin coats of Coachella with no colored base coat to achieve full opacity. You could probably get away with 2 coats, but I wanted it to be SUPER opaque(; And you must be thinking, "I thought these were supposed to be one coat polishes?" Well, Coachella is a holo top coat! So it's not expected to be opaque in a single coat(;

This is a beautiful Coral color! The formula is so creamy, it really was opaque in a single coat! I was honestly shocked that it was so opaque in a single coating. I was also pleasantly surprised at how quickly this dried on my nails. I accidentally bumped it into my desk, and was worried I was going to have to redo my nail, but nope! It was already dried! Lucky me! haha.

Like I said in my First Impressions post the other day, this could be just another purple you have on your shelf, but for me, it's the shade I've been waiting for! I have a few shades lighter, and a few darker, but none this specific color. This was also opaque in a single coat. The formula is very consistent with Laguna, very creamy. Very easy to apply. Great all around in my book!





One last thing I would like to add about these polishes, I adore the bottles they come in. The square bottles look so chic on my wall rack, I love it!

The Brushes


I have been using the angled brushes like crazy! I really love the tiny one! It has helped me improve my cuticle clean up by at least 70%! My big angled brush however, has not kept its shape. When I attempt to clean my cuticles with it, the bristles kept getting pushed into the metal base, rending it useless to me. The small one is perfectly fine though. And that fan brush...I took on a test run, and so far so good! I'm excited to use it for future manis!




Final Verdict


I believe that the Festival Lights BlackBox is so worth the very reasonable price of $9.99! The products are amazing! There may have been a little hiccup with one of the brushes, but that doesn't deem this box unworthy. The 3 polishes are A++ in my book. The formula, the bottles, the application brushes, and even the label are all on point! So if you would like to purchase this box, all you have to do is CLICK HERE! Enjoy ladies!
