Color Club Insta-This in the September Birchbox
Pow! This color is certainly eye-catching! I’m always thrilled when I get nail polish in my Birchbox and I was really excited when I opened up my September box and saw this bright blue polish. I love to wear really vibrant colors on my nails and this color is just that. I also recently purchased the Seche Vite top coat that everyone raves about and I can see why it’s so popular. It made my nails look so perfectly smooth and shiny- it kind of makes it hard to look away!
Tell me: Have you purchased a nail polish recently that you’re really in love with?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

Pow, indeed! Impossible not to be noticed. :)
Haha, yep! :D
Wow that is bright! I got a dark gray color in my Birchbox
Ahh nice! That’s the color I chose when they did my nails at the Birchbox lounge :)
Beautiful color of nail polish. That color is so pretty.

Thank you Tracy!
Love that color! How funny, I just started looking into Birchbox last night. My friend sent me an invite link and I created an account but it doesn’t seem that I can order a box yet? I clicked on “Join Now” for Women’s Subscriptions and it says to request an invite. I’m so confused!
Yes, at the beginning you have to request an invite, but once a space opens up they email you and you get your first box after that! It didn’t take long for me- only a couple of weeks. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I just LOVE electric blue or cobalt! You definitely did a nice manicure! :) I’m hoing to try Butter’s gold colour on the wkd.
Thanks so much! Ooo, that gold color sounds like it will be very nice! I still need to try Butter London polish!
Oh wow, that color is Bright – and I love it! Question about Birchbox – does everyone get the same thing every month or is it a grab bag?
Thank you! Everyone doesn’t get the exact same thing- there’s a bit of variation between the boxes. But I believe they try to cater it to you based on a profile that you fill out when you first join.
What a fabulous nail color!
Thanks! :)
I love this color! But I really like the super neutral OPI I just got from Lucky FABB. I’m getting back into neutral nail colors lately.
Thanks Alex! It’s been a while since I’ve done neutrals on my nails- might be nice to change it up.
