G.N.O.M.E. Box May 2016

*purchased by me

Once again I've been drawn in by the gorgeous offerings of this month's G.N.O.M.E. (Glitter Nerds Of Magical Existence) Box. After purchasing the January and February boxes I restrained myself for a couple months, but couldn't pass this one up. Let's take a look!

Gnome Regrets by Rica is a light lavender linear holographic with pink shimmer and small blue, turquoise, and purple glitters. The pink shimmer is a little more visible in person than is showing up in my photos. I don't have another polish like this. The closest would be piCture pOlish Eerie, but that is more cool toned. The application was really smooth and nice. The formula was on the sheer side but built up nicely in three coats. Shown without top coat.

Take Me Gnome Tonight by Stardust Beauty is a vampy deep berry purple holographic with purple shimmer. Drema does these feminine shades so well, and this one is so flattering on me. The first coat was a little patchy, but it built up to the right opacity with just two coats. Shown without top coat.

Up To Gnome Good by Girly Bits is a rich medium blue linear and scattered holo, with turquoise and fuchsia microglitter. Girly Bits is the honorary guest contributor to this month's box. This polish was the real kicker that tipped me over the edge and I knew I had to buy this! It is so incredibly unique and mesmerizing to look at. The formula was perfect too. This was two easy coats, shown without top coat. The surface was just a little bit textured, but top coat would probably smooth that out.

All three shades are exclusive to this set that retails at $24 plus shipping. They are available for preorder now until tomorrow, Sunday May 22 at 8pm  EST (or until limit is sold), and can be purchased through Rica's Etsy store. 

How do you like the selection this month? Have you purchased the box yet? BTW, the gnome pictured above is not included in the box in case you were wondering.
