May MeeBox - RiRiMee

Hello! Today's post is my unboxing of May's MeeBox (see April's Hitched box here). This month the theme is RiRiMee, based around singer Rihanna. When I heard the theme I imagined reds, blacks, and lots of pointy studs. I couldn't have been more on track as here is what we received. The lovely MeeBox ladies got carried away and treated us to 6 items instead of 5. Read on for a closer look at everything inside!

Holographic Zebra Stripes! (Born Pretty Store Vinyls)

*Press Sample*
Hello! Today I have a review of some Born Pretty Store nail vinyls. Alice from Born Pretty was kind enough to send me some items to review, with a massive 90% discount. Among my package was a set of full nail vinyls. There were 12 patterns in total, each with 6 vinyls. The zebra/tiger stripe design really caught my eye, and I decided to test them out by creating these holographic zebra stripes! As always, read on for more info!

May Nailbox - Tutti Frutti

Hello! Today I have my unboxing of May's 'Tutti Frutti' Nailbox. Anyone who read my post last month (here) will know that I have been unimpressed recently. I did actually unsubscribe, with this months box being my last. Shortly after, Nailbox sent out an email letting us know that they'd listened to our feedback, done away with cheaper brands, and promised us an improvement. Read on to see if they managed to do just that!
