I Love Nail Polish Music Box Swatch And Review

Ack!  I'm such a procastinator.  I'm just realizing now that I have to keep LO entertained on the plane for at least 3 1/2 hours straight for two legs of our trip. Oy.  How do you keep an energetic toddler entertained on a plane for that long??  I am not looking forward to a crying and bored toddler trapped on a plane!  I'm downloading some cartoons, and I'll bring some books and coloring supplies, but what else? 

I have my last straggler from the I Love Nail Polish Spring 2014 collection, and that's a breathtaking cyan blue holo called Music Box.  I think I saved the best for last with this little gem because the color is gorgeous and commands attention.  I was planning on only swatching this but instead did a full mani so I could wear it to work.  The formula was typical ILNP, which is buttery thick, but sheer upon application.  Two coats may have worked but I went for three to ensure full coverage.  Make sure to allow the coats to fully dry in between because I experience a bit of balding which may explain my need for a third coat.  Call me impatient I guess!  I used no topcoat in these pics.

These are in the light tent so you can see the actual color of the lovely light blue.

The holo isn't as super strong as say the Color Clubs, but it's still impressive and actually fitting of this vibrant light blue. It's an eye catching shade and I'm sure I'll be too busy looking at my hands instead of where I'm walking during the day in the sunlight, but isn't that the delicious reason of wearing of holo?  I can't wait!    Have you been wearing a lot of holos now that summer is just around the corner?

  1. This is soooo pretty! I really love the color. I really need to start wearing some of my holos. My niece went on an airplane with me when she was around two and I don't remember it being a lot of work but then again it was a while ago. I just remember her wanting to sit on my lap so she could look out the window and mostly just sleeping. I hope it goes smoothly for you!
