Products provided for review.

          Today I'm sharing You Polish's July Subscription Box option #1. Each month, You Polish offers a great subscription box of two full size polishes plus a bonus for only $16.99 shipped! This month, each box comes with a Limted Edition bottle of  Mixed Sorbet. Box #1 includes Gemstone Garden while the other box includes a polish called Gourmet Fruit Salad. Each box includes a 4 oz. pouch of handmade bath salts available in one of two scents. This month's add on polish is Liberty.

Mixed Sorbet

available in both boxes

creamy orange crelly base

large dark orange hexes

medium yellow and white hexes

small light orange hexes

Mixed Sorbet

two thin coats

one thicker coat

one coat Seche Vite

      The formula on Mixed Sorbet is really nice. The glitter was easy to apply and I didn't have to fish around at all. Two average coats would have sufficed, but I like the squishy-ness of three. 

       Dry time was average. The first two thinner coats dried in a jiffy; the third coat took a little longer. One coat of SV was sufficient and glossed it over nicely.

Mixed Sorbet

      I love the dark orange hexes in this! I think it really makes the polish. I had no problem with the glitters laying flat. Sometimes larger hexes have a tendency to stick up at the edges. This is not one of those times. 

      I think you could easily change up the look of this by layering it over a solid base like Essie Tart Deco or Sinful Colors Unicorn. You'd only need one or two coats over one of those. 

Mixed Sorbet

     The base is the perfect consistency to let all the glitters peek through each layer. It has incredible depth with only three coats. 

Gemstone Garden

available in box #1

clear base

various sizes of  

magenta, turquoise, 

and lime hexes

Gemstone Garden

one coat over solid creme base

one coat Seche Vite

     LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! This glitter topper is seriously amazing. It applies like a dream; I had no problem getting a ton of glitter in one coat. ONE COAT. It twinkles and sparkles and glitters and shines! 

     The dry time wasn't a problem at all. One coat of SV really did the trick to make this smooth and glassy. It really plays up the glitter.

Gemstone Garden

      Look at that sparkling goodness. This really comes to life in the sunlight. It dances and becomes really eye catching. I have to get a full size back up of this. I couldn't help but wonder what this would look like over different colors.

Essie The Girls Are Out

Essie Naughty Nautical

Essie Full Steam Ahead

Essie The More The Merrier

     These combinations made my heart sing. I can't get over how great GG looks over all four of these bases. The possibilities are endless! 

Liberty

add on polish

vibrant blue jelly base

3 sizes red glitter

blue holo hexes

giant white squares and hexes

mini silver stars

tiny holo dusting

Liberty

two coats

two coats Seche Vite

      I was pleasantly surprised by this polish. It was completely opaque in two coats! I didn't have any visible nail line at all. The glitters came out easily, too. Giant glitters usually give me trouble.

       Dry time was fast! Like super fast. the only problem I had was with the large squares sticking up a tiny bit. It was nothing that two coats of SV couldn't fix. After top coat, it was smoothed out nicely.

Liberty

      You'll have to enlarge the picture on this one to fully appreciate the depth of the blue jelly base. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture the intense holo sparkle. 

      I wore this for about 4 hours and didn't experience at staining. From my experience, you should be fine with just a single coat of base. If you're prone to staining, I'd double up just in case. 

Liberty

      As you can see, two coats gives a great amount of coverage and glitter. I really like the look of the stars on the first coat and how they peek through the second. 

      This one shines like crazy in the sun. I kept staring at my nails while doing the dishes this afternoon. I can neither confirm nor deny that it may have taken me longer than usual.

Liberty can be added on to any July box purchase for just $5.25.

Eucalyptus & Peppermint

Bath Salts

available in both boxes

sea salt, epsom salt, baking soda, tapioca starch, essential therapeutic grade oils, and mica colorants

Also available in Lavender & Sage scent. Just specify your choice at the time of purchase.

These will be available for purchase in the future at $4.95 per 4 oz. pouch.

Eucalyptus & Peppermint

Bath Salts

      I used these for a foot soak; a long,  luxurious, and well deserved foot soak.  They dissolved nicely and had a great calming scent. My feet were soft and moisturized afterward. I work long days and there's nothing better than a little R&R with a foot bath. 

     I also used these for a pre-manicure hand soak. This product was perfect to start off my routine. I'll definitely be using these in the future. 

You Polish can be purchased via Etsy. 

The July Subscription Boxes will be available for purchase June 20th at 7pm EST. Each box is $16.99.
