July What's In-die Box?! *Pic Heavy*

Hi all, today I have the super awesome "what's in-die box" to share with you all! 


To start off, "what's in-die box" is a monthly box that contains 5 polishes from Australian indie polish makers. Every month will contain Glam PolishPeitas Polish and Lilypad Lacquer as well as 2 other contributors each month. This month was Mckfresh Nail Attire and Shades Of Phoenix. Each month also has a theme, this month was "Little Miss". Each month you preorder the box if you want it and they get shipped out on a certain date. This is great because it means if you don't want it or can't afford it one month then you don't have to get it. If you're interested in preordering the August box you can do so over at the Glam Polish blog (sorry international readers, it is not available for International shipping at the moment). 


Now on to the fun bits! Sorry in advance for the crappy iPhone pics. 


This was how I received it. I hadn't seen other pictures before I got it either so it was a total surprise. 

First up is Lilypad lacquer I Am Miss Haughty Taughty (I haven't swatched all of these either so the description is based on just what I can see in the bottle) it is packed with different shades of green and holo glitter with some large pink and yellow hex glitter throughout it. It's really pretty in the bottle and would be a great topper over a green creme. I can't wait to try it out. 


Next up is Mckfresh nail attire Whoops! It is a pale purple shimmery base with a little tiny silver glitter throughout it, also white rectangles, long black bar glitter, black hexes and pink circles. It looks gorgeous in the bottle and this is one I swatched and found the glitter a bit difficult. I've never used a polish with bar glitter in it before and I found that getting the placement right took some time, not always a bad thing but I'm usually too lazy for that. The wear has been pretty good though. I put it on Thursday night and it is now Saturday night and its still going strong. I usually leave work on Friday afternoon with my polish badly chipped but this survived the whole shift without even any signs of tip wear! 


This picture is with 3 coats and a top coat of seche vite. 


Next is Peitas Polish I'm A Chatterbox. I love love love this polish!!! I think it is my favourite from this months box. It is a gorgeous glitter topper that is packed full of pink matte glitter with some blue and yellow matte glitter sprinkled throughout. I have a picture of this one but I will post it a bit further below as I used it over the top of the Shades of Phoenix polish. 


Next up is Glam Polish Little Miss Naughty. The first thing I noticed about this is that the glitter is a bit sinky. I haven't swatched it yet so I don't know if this will effect performance. I will update once its been swatched. In the bottle though it is a pretty light purple polish with small holo glitter as well as pink, green and silver holo squares. I really like the colour of this one. 


Last but not least is Shades of Phoenix Little Miss Bad. This is a gorgeous pale milky blue with pink and blue glitter in various shapes and sizes and black squares. The glitter came out really easily with no fishing required. 


The next photo is 2 coats of little miss bad with one coat of I'm a chatterbox with a top coat of seche vite. 


Once the rest of the polishes are swatched I will post them up for you all to see :)

Thanks for reading! Bye for now.
