LevelUP Lacquer ~ February '17 Multiplayer box

                                                                   *Provided for review/press sample


          Good morning!! Today I have for you the Multiplayer Box for February. I do not have a post for January. With Ash just quitting her job to do full time polish stuff, it has been hectic I'm sure. I have the polishes if you want to see but keep in mind they will not be available for purchase!! Let's start with a quick refresher. The Multiplayer Box is a monthly subscription box that has polish and extras. There are 2 LevelUP Lacquers, 1 Zoya polish, and any random things Ashley decides to add. I have seen finger puppets to stamping plates! It's always random. The best part of this box? The price!! The box is worth about $35, but you only pay $20. Even better, the shipping is included in that price!! So, ready to see what's in this box? I thought so :)


          Let's start with the Zoya. Her name is Binx and she is such a beauty. It is an orchid jelly base with a very strong gold shimmer and small iridescent glitters. I really didn't think I would like this one. (Iridescent glitters are my least favorite glitters) Once it was out of the bottle and on my nails, I really started to like it. The formula is jelly perfection! The shimmer is my favorite part. It really stands out. Even the glitters were really pretty. Gave it a little something extra, not that it needed it. I used 3 thin coats with top coat for my swatch.

          The first LUL we have is Me + You. It's a gorgeous purple cream polish with ultra fine black holo glitter. I knew I would like this one. Purple is my favorite polish color.  This one is very simple but a must have. It would be the perfect base for some art with added sparkle. I used 2 coats with top coat. Just like my last post, I had to warm this one up a bit so please don't mind my crazy looking skin!

 

Last polish is an iridescent and pastel glitter topper. So very perfect for this time of year. I wanted to showcase Sweet Things over more than just one color so you get 5!! I like doing this because it gives you an idea what it looks like over more than just white or black. I will list the names of the colors in the macros. I think I like it most over blue and black. I used 1 coat over each color. I didn't need to fish for glitter or do any placement. Such a great glitter packed formula.

          Make sure you grab this Multiplayer Box because it is only available for the month of February!! I will leave Ash's links below! Make sure you check out her Valentine's day trio as well! I also have more to come so I will see you soon :) Have a great day!! <3

          Hello peeps! It is FRIDAY!! Its a Tuesday for me so... But new polish will brighten anyones day right?! Today I have for you this months Multiplayer Box. There is a new and easier set up for purchase and payment! Here are the deets:

          Multiplayer Monthly Box! Boxes ship on the 10th of each month. Recurring orders will always bill on the 10th, one time orders will bill at the time of purchase and will only be available if supplies allow. Cancel anytime!
If you sign up for recurring boxes after the tenth of the month you will not be charged until the next months box!

For $20.00 each box includes the following:
1 15ml bottle Zoya color. Five free and changes each month with no repeats.
2 11ml bottles of LevelUp Lacquer Limited Edition Polishes
Plus random nail goodies & FREE SHIPPING (US ONLY)

          On to the polish!  First up we have the Zoya. Her name is Courtney and she is a blood red creme polish. Normally, I would not use the terms blood red as a description. For this polish though, that is exactly what it is. It is a grunge color to the max. Perfect for the collection. Careful with this one as she is a fickle b*tch and will definitely stain your cuticles!! 2 perfect coats with topcoat.

Next up is this awesome glitter called City Lights. This glitter topper has holo glitters, silver glitters, black glitters, and iridescent glitters. It super complex and very blingy!! I used 1 coat over Zoya Courtney with top coat. Perfect glitter coverage and it also laid totally smooth.

          Purple Magic is the 3rd polish and my favorite! A perfect purple creme with holo and bright blue flakies. Drooling is appropriate. I used 2 smooth coats with top coat.

What do you think? I love love love the purple polish. As always, this box is a winner. My teens were in the grunge era so this spoke to me. I will leave all the links below so make sure you chack them out. I cannot stress enough how awesome and unique this brand is! Stay tuned as well because we got black friday stuff, Holiday stuff, and just plain cool stuff coming! Have a great Friday friends!!

LevelUP Lacquer ~ September Multiplayer Box

                                                                             *Provided for review

          Hey peeps! I am so sorry I am running late with this post. Better late than never! This time I bring you the September Multiplayer Box. As always this box comes with 2 LevelUP Lacquer polishes and 1 Zoya polish. It also will have random nail goodies. Things from a stamping plate to nail charms. This box is $20 dollars with free shipping in the US. Each box is only available for the length of each coordinating month. Now that we got the details down lets get to the polish.

          First up is Zoya Troy. Troy is a pewter metallic polish with a super smooth finish. It was weird because the polish pigment looks chunky. Not "lumpy" chunky, but large particle chunky. It is a gorgeous polish but it is definitely not holographic at all. The golden shimmer it has is lovely. This could be a 1 coater but I used 2 thin coats with top coat for my swatch.

          Next polish is Midnight Blooms. A purple metallic base with pink and purple glitters. I love this! It was such a smooth wonderful formula for a polish with so much glitter. I used 3 coats with top coat.

Lastly is Sapphire Scales. If you are a September baby you need this one!! It is a fine blue glitter polish with transparent blue hexes. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! I used 3 perfect coats with topcoat.

This might be my favorite Multiplayer Box so far. I may be biased because my birthday is in September but seriously. Who doesn't need another holo glitter polish?!?! Make sure you check out Ashley's shop and other social media for swatches and deets. This box is only available until September 30th. Swatch video for these babies coming asap! Links below!! :)

LevelUP Lacquer ~ July Multiplayer Box

                                                                          *Provided for review


          Hi there! Today I bring you July's Multiplayer Box. I am super late getting this post up. I had the first 2 polishes swatched almost immediately but I just could not find the right color to show the glitter off best. It looks good over many colors but when it's official pictures it's gotta be better than good. Does that make sense? Anyways, you know the deal with the monthly box right? If not you can read the deets here!

          As usual, the Zoya in this bunch is amazing! Levi is a nudey gold color that also has small holo hexes. Such a PERFECT summer polish, totally looks like sand. 2 perfect Pixie Dust coats without top coat.

Sea Foam is a greenish teal polish with tons of silver ultra micro flakies. It was sheer on the first coat but builds up nicely. 3 smooth coats with top coat and matted.

Lastly for this months box is Beach Comber. Beach Comber is a packed glitter bomb polish with a purple shimmer. The shimmer is slight but so perfect for this mix. there are holo circles along with translucent glitters, matte glitters, and iridescent glitters. This reminds me so much of beach balls!! so fun and bright :) 1 coat over CCNP I'm Blue for You with top coat and also matte!

LevelUP Lacquer ~ June Multiplayer Box

                                                                           *Provided for review


          Happy weekend friends! Hope you are all enjoying the weather. Today I have June's Multiplayer Box from LevelUP Lacquer. Due to the AMAZING USPS, I am behind a few days... So let's jump right in. You can get all of the info on ordering HERE, in my first post of the monthly box.

First up is Zoya Dory. Dory is from this summers one coat crème, Sunset collection. I love this blue. At first glance I thought it may be close to Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, the original. It is definitely not as dark as Pacific Blue. This blue is more powdery but so very bright. Formula is amazing as always. It is definitely a 1 coater. I used 2 coats with top coat. Only because my nails have ridges and the first coat didn't lay as evenly as I would have liked.

Next is Cambios. This polish shifts from purple, blue, gold, red, and orange! I do my swatching over night so I could only capture the blue and a little of the purple. I will be adding more pics to this though when I can catch the sun! Just wanna get the deets to you asap. Either way this polish is a super stunner and you will not be disappointed! I used 2 coats with top coat.

Can you see the shift a little? There is purple on my pointer!!

Lastly, but I think my favorite, is Ruby Dust. This is a glitter that can be fully opaque in 3 coats. It is a deep fuchsia micro glitter that has gold and holo! So so pretty. I haven't liked a glitter this much in a very long time. I mean all glitter in a clear base. It is just so perfect <3 I used 3 thin coats and also a glitter gradient over a pink polish, all with top coat.

Aren't these amazing?! The 2 LevelUP Lacquers are limited edition and can only be bought in this box and only in the month of June. Make sure you get these because the deal is insane!! $20 plus free shipping in the US!!!! Let me know in the comments what you think of this months box. Links below :)

LevelUP Lacquer ~ May Multiplayer Box

                                                                           *Provided for review


          Hi everyone! How are we this Saturday? I am loving that the weather is getting warmer. With warmer weather comes much more energy! Which is good because I got a lot of review stuff coming in! YAY!! I have vinyls, stamping plates, polish, and more polish!! :) So be on the lookout for a lot of swatches, blog posts, videos, and nail art! Today I bring you May's Multiplayer Box! I gave you the rundown HERE but lets do a quick recap! You get 2 LevelUP Lacquers that are only available in these boxes. You also get a Zoya polish and nail goodies!! This box costs $20. Seriously! $20 plus FREE SHIPPING!! These will be available only for the month of May and there are only so many so get yours asap!!  May's Multiplayer Box is full of bling! Its so perfect with the weather getting nice. You will be out in the sun to see the full effect of each polish. Lets get to it!

          Asteroids is the first polish in this box. It has a black base with tons of black and silver glitters. Holo dust, holo shards, black holo hexes, and silver hexes. I tried this on its own in 3 thin coats first. I feel like the holo was lost a little in the base. I decided to try 1 coat over a black polish and I was wowed! You can totally use it by itself. It gets fully opaque. This all comes down to preference. Anywho, when I put Asteroids over black everything layed smooth and showed right through. The shards are my favorite! Take a look.

Asterisks is a super blingy holo glitter topper. Holo micro glitter, holo shards, holo triangles, holo circles, and a beautiful iridescent flash. This polish speaks for itself! It will jazz up anything! I used 1 coat over L.A. Colors Vixen. The formula for such a packed glitter is amazing! I will post a flash video on my IG!!

The last polish in this set is the Zoya! Aster is a springy, blue toned, light purple with pink and blue glass fleck shimmer. OMG! I have pics also in matte. The formula was awesome of course. 2 smooth coats with top coat. These pics are in natural daylight. I would love to give that to you all the time but unfortunately I live in CT and the sun is far from reliable! Check it out.
