This  month’s theme was, “Bedtime Stories,” and yet again, they find the neatest little corners of the theme to bring to life in two spectacular nail wraps.  I had a feeling from a little spoiler earlier on that this shipment would probably include  the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, but you really never know exactly how it’s going to be executed which is part of the surprise.

• Paint The Roses Red – A glossy nail wrap  with  splashes of red painted on white roses, a nod to a song from Alice and Wonderland, designed by the marvelous Sam Skyler.  In case you need an earworm, here you go!  I do have a fondness for the somewhat more subtle nail wraps because I get a kick out of finding fellow fans at the weirdest times, much like how I found out that the gal who sells me vegetables at the farmers market is JUST as into Ghostbusters as I am when she saw my Ectoplasm nail wraps last weekend and we had a little nerd-out moment together.  It’s like being in a secret, awesome club of glitter and geekery.
• Emerald City Attire – Blue and white check sets the field for red poppies and a ruby-red glitter accent nail wrap.  I don’t think I even need to go into how well this fits with the Wizard of Oz theme – it’s just perfect!  Dorothy’s dress, and the field of poppies, and ruby red slippers, OH MY!

The nail wraps usually cost $10 each on the Espionage Cosmetics website, so the value definitely exceeds the cost of a month-to-month subscription at $15 per month.  Subscribers then vote for their favorite of the two, and the winner goes on to regular sale on the website.  That means Nexus subscribers get a super limited edition nail wrap that will never be produced again!  I don’t think the September theme has been announced yet, but I’m psyched to see what they’re up to for next month.  In case you’re thinking about subscribing and want to send me some love, hit up my  referral link!

It’s that time again!  This month’s Espionage Cosmetics Nexus shipment was themed, “Passport to Nihon,” as a sort of tribute to some EC staff who had lived there at one point or another.  I had no idea what to expect and this could’ve gone a bunch of different ways, but I was TOTALLY psyched to open the bag and see these two gorgeous designs!

• Ukiyo-E Nail Wrap – This is absolutely my favorite wrap between the two and without a doubt the one I’ll be voting and rooting for when it comes time to select which wrap makes it to go into regular sale on the Espionage Cosmetics Website.  This one was designed by the ever talented  Sam Skyler who really knocked it out of the park.
• Neko-Chan – AHHH!  How cute!  Let’s face it, I’m hopelessly addicted to Neko Atsume, so this is another great design.  Little hearts and paw prints alternate with cute little cats all over the wraps.  We currently have two dogs, but as a kid we had two cats,  and between that and Neko Atsume’s virtual kitties, I’m loving this one and am pleased to see it as part of the shipment this month!

The nail wraps usually cost $10 each on the Espionage Cosmetics website, so the value exceeds the cost of a month-to-month subscription at $15 per month.  What’s best is that after the voting ends, you have one fantastic nail wrap that survived the cut and one unicorn of a nail wrap that only Nexus subscribers will ever have which is, not gonna lie, pretty neat.  August’s theme has already been revealed too, and it’s, “Bedtime Stories.”  I cannot even begin to tell you how psyched I am for that one!  In case you’re thinking about subscribing and want to send me some love, hit up my  referral link!

Welcome to Espionage Cosmetics’ Nexus, first of its name.  This offshoot of the BOOM!Box features a monthly delivery of two nail wraps in a slick black bubble mailer.  The cost is $15 per month with discounts for longer subscriptions, and you receive two  brand new designs before they’ve been released to the public as well as a chance to vote for which will go on to permanent sale  on the Espionage Cosmetics website.  This month’s theme was “Formulaic” and I think both wraps fit the theme perfectly.

• Chemistry Nail Wrap – Super nerdy nail wrap featuring the periodic table in white on an atomic orange background.  They even have a neat glow in the dark design!  There’s a little bit of reverse chemistry at play if you look closely.
• Euler’s Formula – I’m not a math nerd, but I can appreciate that complexity of  such a concept.  Another glow in the dark nail wrap, this one looks like Euler’s Formula written in chalk on a chalkboard and I love how this came out.
• Nail File – Obligatory.  So nice to get a fresh nail file  in every subscription delivery.

The nail wraps usually go for $10 each on the Espionage Cosmetics website, so the value already exceeds the cost of even  the month-to-month subscription.  Getting access to new nail wraps first?  PRICELESS.  I’m so in love with all of their nail wraps, and it’s super fun to get all the new ones before they’re released to the public and decide which one of the two makes the cut to regular production.  July’s theme has already been released, “Passport to Nihon,” and I can’t wait to see what they come up with for next month!  In case you’re thinking about subscribing and want to send me some love, hit up my  referral link!
