Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box: December 2013

I have some swatches of the December Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box. I have really liked this subscription and I feel like it is one of the best sub deals out there. Beautiful, seasonal, and unique polish plus a treat for only $16 including shipping.

You might notice a random snowflake added to these pictures. Well, I had a really nasty hangnail that turned into a nasty-looking wound. I needed to swatch though so I decided to take a leaf out of Kayla Shevonne's book and just cover it up with a graphic.... because no one wants to see that haha. I couldn't find a bandaid so I used a snowflake.

The Monthly Mini for December was Pine Cones and Holly Berries. This glitter topper has metallic gold, fuchsia, and magenta glitters in a variety of shapes including gold dots. I used this glitter topper over Essie Sew Psyched, which was a genius combination if I do say so myself ;-)

I really like how versatile this glitter topper is. The jewel tones make it more seasonally appropriate than a Christmas-only polish, which is nice because I'm sure not everyone subscribing to GG celebrates Christmas. 

My custom this month was Snowed In, a powder blue crelly with blue, silver holo, and satin white glitters along with SNOWFLAKE glitters! I used three thin coats letting each coat dry well before the next.

I fished and placed the snowflake glitters. I see now that I should have maybe placed a few of the flakes in between my second and third thin coats, but oh well, I'll have to keep that in mind for next time.

Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box November 2013: Sugar and Spice & Pumpkin Spice Cake

Friday was my last day of work at my old agency. I am going to miss my friend-workers so much! Not gonna miss anything else though, it was time for a change. I start my new job on Nov 18th and it also marks the start of work-appropriate polish. Dun dun dunnn.... think I might need to do some work NOTDs. I have been making a list of what y'all want to see and so I feel bad posting another swatch post. I have a week off to play with art though so I promise it's coming!

Anyway, this is my second Glitter Guilty box of three that I ordered the subscription for.  Just like my first box in October, I love it! It is such a fun and inexpensive treat to look forward to each month. Jessica, the creator of Glitter Guilty, really takes into consideration your likes and dislikes and once again she sent me a polish I already love. Here is what I received in my box:

Monthly Mini: Sugar and Spice
Full-Size Custom: Pumpkin Spice Cake
Mini Mattify Top Coat
Chocolate--I already sampled it and it was delicious

More after the break!

Glitter Guilty Pleasures Subscription Box: October 2013 Photos & Review

Today I have a subscription box I just purchased from Glitter Guilty. I love sub boxes, so when I heard about this one I immediately signed up for 3 months! You can read more about how Glitter Guilty's sub box works here. I loved that Jessica, the owner and operator, is an indie maker and includes treats from other small artisans. I also loved how I could customize my box and still have it be a surprise! I did not put in too many directives in my preferences but Jessica nailed it, I am in love with her selections for me.

This post is picture-heavy. I opened my box in stages and took pictures so you could see how lovely it really is.

It felt like opening a present!
