Press Sample of May 2016
G.N.O.M.E. Box

I have a new to me indie collaboration box to share with you today! The box itself isn’t new, and I’ve heard great things about it, so I was thrilled to have the chance to review it. Here is the May 2016 G.N.O.M.E. Box!

What is a G.N.O.M.E.? It stands for Glitter Nerds Of Magical Existence! Rica and Stardust Polish two brands that are constant in this three polish box, and each month there is a guest maker. May 2016 welcomes Girly Bits Cosmetics into the box!

We all know I’m incredibly familiar with Girly Bits Cosmetics, and I do own some Rica shades (plus I have a collection of hers to show you soon!) but Stardust Polish is new to me, so I was excited to get to try them out!

Let’s look at each polish, and purchasing information will be at the end of the post.

Rica – Gnome Regrets

Gnome Regrets is a bloomsberry purple linear holographic with very soft pink violet shimmer and holographic blue and purple micro glitters. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Stardust Polish – Take Me Gnome Tonight

Take Me Gnome Tonight is a deep berry linear holographic with a hint of purple shimmer. The first coat seemed fairly sheer, but it built up beautifully in 2 coats. I was expecting to need a third coat, but not so!

Girly Bits Cosmetics – Up To Gnome Good

Up To Gnome Good is an enchanting royal blue that has both a linear holographic effect as well as some scattered holo, in addition to bright turquoise and fuchsia microglitter. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Girly Bits Cosmetics is based out of Canada. Please know that there will be a slightly slower shipping time for preorder boxes due to the amount of time it takes for a package from Canada to arrive to the United States.

So what are your thoughts? Have you tried the G.N.O.M.E. Box before? Will you be grabbing this one?
