Beauty Box 5

A confession: I never get my nails done.

OKAY, not never, but most of the time my nails are painted from the safety of my bed and in close proximity to Netflix. I like my lazy weekend ritual, but sometimes I do yearn for the cool nail art on Instagram, which I obviously can’t do myself.

Luckily, I was staring at my chipped, black-purple nails not so long ago when these babies arrived at the office. Did the BB5 Team have a manicure party? You bet we did. And we LOVED it.

Not only did the Sprinkles polish come in four pretty and bold colors that coated our nails nicely and wasn’t runny!

Now, the application process can be a little messy and takes a try or two to perfect, but it’s actually pretty easy. If you want to check out how the office ladies gave ourselves caviar manis (or cupcakes manis— our accent nails looked delicious), you can read step-by-step directions from my February Sneak Peek last month!

BB5 Tip: Don’t be alarmed when the sprinkles start to fall off after a few days.

Unless you use a killer top coat, these puppies will gradually disappear. This isn’t due to quality, just reality— little beads aren’t going stay put when you use your hands a whole bunch, no matter what name is on the label. What I ended up doing was gently rubbing them off, which left funky little crater effects, so I basically got two manicures in one. Success!

The Nail Design Kit is an awesome set to experiment with, or give as a gift! For just $14.99 you get four pretty, spring-inspired polishes and four pots of nail caviar, plus a funnel to help with application.

Good luck and get sprinkly!
