The description for this box really made me intrigued so I purchased it with some memepoints I had to use. Its also a bonus that I got 5 memepoints just for purchasing it too.

Final Thoughts
Overall, out of the three themed boxes I recently got, the Memebox Oriental Medicine Box is my favorite. I rarely use or have any skincare or beauty products with oriental medicine or herbs in it so this box was the one I was looking most forward to and it did not disappoint at all. I like the variety of products from skincare to beauty to hand care. I've heard that products with any ginseng are expensive so its great to have some products with ginseng as an ingredient in here to try out. The most exciting products to me are the wonder serum, CC cream, and hand cream. What do you think of the Memebox Oriental Medicine Box? Have you tried Memebox yet?

Twinsie Tuesday: Interlocking Design

Tuesday, July 29, 2014

Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is interlocking design. I'm excited for this since I haven't done much interlocking designs on the blog so I went with some classic puzzle nails. I did get inspiration from Meliney on her video tutorial, 5 Ways To Create Puzzle Nails.

Yellow and Blue Interlocking Puzzle Nail Art

I used OPI Fiercely Fiona on all the nails. Using striping tape, I taped off two square sections and painted them with Sally Hansen Pacific Blue. Finished with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.

I had trouble with these but I think they turned out okay for my first try. What do you think?

OPI Senorita Rose-Alita

Friday, July 25, 2014

Its been a while since I've shared a swatch post so here's one that's been in my blogging folder for a while. Hopefully, I can to do more polish swatches in the future. Let's see today's polish.

OPI Senorita Rose-Alita is a raspberry pink with gold shimmer. Formula and application on this was nice. I like how wearable and flattering this color is. This is two coats.

I didn't think I would like this color but I actually did once I applied it on my nails. I think its because I tend to like colors with a gold shimmer to it. What do you think?

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired by Nature

Tuesday, July 22, 2014

The Twinsie Tuesday theme today is inspired by nature. When I think about nature, I usually think of flowers so I decided to do some roses since its been a while since I've done one. These nails were also inspired by HannahRoxNails from her video tutorial, Easy Rose Print Nails.

Light Pink Floral Rose Print Nail Art

I used Jessica Tangerine Dreamz on all the nails. I took OPI Pink Friday and Nabi Baby Pink along with a toothpick as my tool to create the roses. For the leaves, I used China Glaze Starboard. Finished with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.

I've been picking a bit on my nails lately so sorry for the redness I have on the cuticles. My roses aren't the best out there but I think these turned pretty good. What do you think?

Silver and Blue Reverse Glitter Gradient

Monday, July 21, 2014

Here's my last manicure for The Nail Challenge Collaborative. The theme for this month was to recreate your first four nail art designs. This is a simple reverse glitter gradient. I went with a neutral color scheme for the nails this time around and a glitter I don't usually use in a gradient too.

Silver and Blue Reverse Glitter Gradient Nail Art

I used OPI Stranger Tides on all the nails. For the reverse glitter gradient, I used OPI Save Me. Finished with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.

I'm not a big fan of bar glitters but surprisingly, I like OPI Save Me a lot. I think its because I'm liking how the silver, blue, and holographic bar glitters look together. What do you think?
