  • New OPI Tokyo Collection Voxbox

    New OPI Tokyo Collection Voxbox

    Welcome back!

    So I spoke about getting the I’m In email for the OPI Tokyo Spring Collection here.

    I’m happy to say that I received it almost directly after I posted that. I didn’t really get much time to try out the polishes before getting ready for our weekend camping trip which I will talk about later.

    In the Voxbox I received:

    • 1 Infinite Shine Primer
    • 2 Infinite Shine Polishes (Hurry-juku Get this Color! and I’m On a Sushi Roll)
    • 1 Infinite Shine Gloss

    In the email I received it said 3 polishes but I only received 2 which is fine since these things tend to change before you actually receive the package.

    I’ve been back for a week now and have had time to try out my new polishes. My nails aren’t the best at the moment because of all the anxiety and stress I had before the trip but I did put in the polish to see how long it lasts.

    It’s been 3 days and do far so good, no chipping, the nails are as shiny as when I first applied the polish, and it will hopefully last another 4 days or more.

    The process of applying the varnished was pretty easy, I applied the Primer first which is just a clear coat, I then applied my color of choice, I did alternating colors on my hands so 4 nails were one color and the middle the other color, finally I applied the gloss. One dip in the pot colored my thumb and another dip colored the remaining 3 nails, I also had to remove a lot of excess polish because I made the mistake of trying to brush just out the pot and made a big mess. So, remember remove the excess before polishing! I won’t say that it took long to finish drying at all but be careful not to touch it bump into anything while the nails are drying out you could end up with fingerprints on your nails.

    If you’re interested in buying the Infinite Shine Primer and Gloss in a set you can find it at Sephora for 24,50€.

    If you’re not in France you can get it at Amazon for $20.50.

    If you want the Infinite Shine Tokyo Spring Collection you can find the polishes at Sephora at 14,50€ per polish.

    In the US you can check OPI to find a store near you.

    I think I will pick up some false nails to really give these lovelies a try, maybe I might get fancy and try a design!

  • New Voxbox!

    New Voxbox!

    Hey Everyone!

    So last month I got a Survey from Influenster for a new Voxbox, I completed it but wasn’t confident I would get it because I’ve only ever had three of those surveys and didn’t get the last one I completed. I mean it will almost be a month since I did the survey and I didn’t really think much of it so imagine my surprise when I get an email saying I’m In!

    If you’re just now hearing about this, Influenster is a site where people post reviews about products they’ve used before, you can also receive free products from different brands to try out, I received a mascara from Marc Jacobs which I blogged about here, if this sounds interesting to you, you can visit the site and learn more https://www.influenster.com/.

    I’m super excited, to say the least, I’m going to receive the new Opi Tokyo Spring Collection you can read more about it here. I have no idea what colors I will be receiving and I am partial to purple but my only two nail polishes are purple so maybe I will receive something else and I can finally branch out.

    In the Voxbox will be an Infinite Shine Primer, an Infinite Shine Gloss, and three colors from the collection to test and share my reviews with my followers.

    The system works in three steps to give you a gel-like shine:

    Step 1:  To start,  apply one coat of the Infinite Shine Primer to each nail. Make sure to shake the primer beforehand to mix thoroughly.

    Step 2: Apply two thin coats of Infinite Shine polish to each nail. We recommend working on both hands at the same time so they dry properly.

    Step 3: Apply one coat of Infinite Shine Gloss to each nail to finish off your final nail look.

    We do have plans to be away for the weekend and I’m really hoping that I get the box before then so that I can try out the polish before we leave. If I don’t get it before then well I guess I’ll just have a lovely surprise waiting for me.

    I’m off to work on some genealogy now, so I’ll update you guys when I get back from my trip or before then!
