Another round of Espionage Cosmetics Nexus arrived, and this month the theme was, “Cheat Codes,” featuring some brand-spankin-new packaging for the Nexus nail wraps along with the debut of the new 22-tip sets in this subscription! It’s pretty neat to see specific new packaging for the Nexus wraps as well as less paper packaging – keep it simple, right? So, basically, the pouch is what’s inside the new packaging, but for the Nexus shipment, there’s a fancy Nexus logo on the front. The only thing missing is the nail wrap name and what kind of wraps they are (glow in the dark, glossy, pearl, etc), but I suppose I can keep the card with the wraps so I remember (or just refer back to my blog, duh)
- Hit the Bricks – This glossy nail wrap also has a glow in the dark feature that hints to a location of wizardry. I’ll admit that I had to look this up since I’m not into Harry Potter, but it’s pretty clever to hide the message in the glow in the dark feature!
- Unbreakable Code – This one I got right away since I LOVED The Bletchley Circle miniseries. Those would be the dials of the Bombe decryption device designed by Alan Turing, and a sample of the German code they were decrypting during WWII. If you’re a nerd and want to see the original pages, check out this link.
Overall a pretty neat delivery for the theme! I was expecting something completely different (some gaming cheat codes?) but it’s so neat that they always keep me on my toes or pull something completely different out of their hats than what I expect! Both wraps usually retail for $10 on the website so the cost of $15 per month is worth it. Only one will go onto glory for regular sale after a round of voting, but I think I know which one I’m rooting for already. I’m definitely partial to the Unbreakable Code one because history nerd over here. If you’re thinking about subscribing and want to give me a little love, click here to sign up via my affiliate link.
