Fi-bros for life Limited Ellegee and Digital Nails Collab box

Hey everyone! Here I am with a box openeing. This is the Fi-bros for Life Limited Edition Collaboration box featuring special polishes by Ellegee and Digital Nails. It was putnout for fibromyalgia awareness day, and when it was announced I literally started to cry. I was diagnosed in 2009 with fibromyalgia and I have only been getting worse. Polish and make up are kind of my little pick me up on days where I can only where pajamas. So I just had to buy it. I just got my box in the mail today, I have been very excitedly stalking the mailman for this one.

The polishes that come inside are Chronic Badass by Ellegee and Whack with Poo Brain by Digial Nails. Ellegee also included some adorable bow nail charms and a thing of smarties. Digital Nails sent along toe seperators and a musache hair tie. So cute!

Chronic Badass is a glitter polish with black, purple, and magenta glitters, purple and silver butterflies,  and what looks like holo stars.
It's a lot of my favourite thing all packed into one polish. Its name symbolized the chronic nature of fibromyalgia and how tough we fibromites are battling it. Butterflies are the symbol of hooe for a cure, and purple is the colour chosen to reprisent the illness.

Whack with Poo Brain is a purple crelly with small dark purple shiny glitter, small black and white matte glitter, some slightly larger matte white squares and larger matte circles in light pink, black and white. There may be something I am missing too, there is a lot in there and it looks great!
Digital Nails called it Whack with Poo Brain based on an Adventure Time episode and her own experiences with fibromyalgia. She describes what is usually called fibro fog as whack with poo brain. I can totally relate! My fog gets so bad some times that I feel like I have poo brain too.

This is just my box opening post, I will be back with swatches and formula reviews later on. For now, check out the photos! It's dark and rainy today so they are not super great photos.

Color Me Monthly: May

My May Color Me Monthly came in today! I saw a picture online that I thought was a spoiler, and it was a terrible looking green. I think it was just in bad lighting because this polish is gorgeous!

It's a lively minty blue green shimmer. Super on trend for the colour right now, it's in the range of what I was expecting to get. The shimmer is strong in a clear/silver.

This polish reminds me of robins eggs and having tea in the garden. It's very May, and mother's day with out being pink. Such a wonderful addition to my collection.

Easter Mani

No Mani Monday because I did my Easter mani late Monday and it took forever. I was gonna do acrylics but instead to save time I just used regular glue ons. But it still took a long time. Labour of love I guess. I added all the bunnies in deco pic because it's fun.

Julep Maven Jule Box- Free Welcome Box

So I saw the Facebook ad and that my friends had liked and taken the Maven quiz, so I said why not. I took the quiz and got "Bombshell". I didn't like the look of the bombshell box, so I just left it at that. Then someone commented that I choose my box in a different style. Ok, it's a free box, I can cancel if I don't like it. I picked the "It Girl" box, it had 3 polishes and I really liked 2 of the colours and could live with the 3rd. Paying $3.99 for shipping wasn't a big deal when you get 3 $15 polishes for free. The box took about 4 days to arrive from order to ship, which was really nice. It came Priority USPS. I guess their usual shipping method is DHL, but you get free shipping as a Maven, but more on that later.

Opening up the box I found all this stuff. A little "It Girl" description packet, a coupon code and a Julep Flier. The top of the box has a sticker that says Maven, but it's Silver on White so it did not even photograph well.

The polishes come packed together in a white box, and are protected in shipping by all this paper. They also sent along these buffing blocks. I love these things so I thought it was a pretty cool freebie, even if it is super cheap. My rabbits will enjoy playing with the paper.

The polishes also come in their own boxes. This one is called Bunny, and it is a white with small flecks of gold glitter.

This one is called Libby and it's a teal creme polish. It's my favourite of the set.

Lastly is Elle, which I didn't like at first but it has really grown on me. It's a deep redish purple colour with shimmer.

Here are all of them swatched on my nails. Excuse my cuticles, were a mess at the time I took this.

All the polishes went on nice and opaque. It took 2 coats for each one, which is pretty standard, I used to primarily use OPI and I would say this is very comparable to that. I was able to wear this manicure for 4 days without it chipping, which is very good if you ask me. I didn't use a top or base coat either. So it has good staying power.

Over all I am really happy with my intro box to Julep Maven. Since these photos I have actually made 3 other orders to Julep, and it's not even been a month. I went a little overboard, but I have to rebuild my polish collection! Expect more product reviews from them soon!
