The theme for October’s Espionage Cosmetics Nexus shipment was, “Clever Girl,” which promised, “designs perfect for the adventurer gearing up for the ride of their lives through the age of the dinosaurs!” I’d say they absolutely nailed it this month, and while the designs both feature a nod to the Jurassic period, they’re completely different which is going to make deciding which is my favorite this month pretty hard.
- Hatchlings – With a subtitle of, “Not The Mama!” from a show I remember and love, these glossy wraps feature lizard eyes and claws breaking out of a brown eggshell base. The details are fantastic from the crack lines to the colors of what lies inside. Really a fun way to show off the theme!
- This Land – Another glossy nail wrap with a variety of flora and fauna, and a play on a scene from Firefly. I love the bonus subtle nerd content that goes beyond the actual dinosaurs on the wrap! Little Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosauruses march across the nail wraps with an accent wrap of green and purple leaves and flowers.
I’d say the EC team proved themselves as the ultimate Clever Girls this month – the tie in to Firefly was phenomenal and I didn’t see that one coming at all (though, DUH). The nail wraps cost $10 each on the Espionage Cosmetics website, so the value far exceeds the cost of the $15 month-to-month subscription. Subscribers then vote on their favorite of the two and the victor goes into regular sale on the website. That means that the other nail wrap ends up being a Nexus exclusive, never to be produced again! In case you’re thinking about subscribing and want to send me some love, hit up my referral link!
