No spoiler bar this time, folks, because I did a mani featuring both my monthly mini as well as my full size custom. I totally loved this month's box. When I opened it and saw the mini gleaming gloriously from the box, I literally squee'd out loud. Here's the lovely view I was treated to when I opened my box:
June's Monthly Mini is "Lime Rickey", a sublime neon purple jelly with a happy sprinkling of small fuschia round glitters, smaller still hex glitters in chartruese, gold, and transparent white. It's finished off with teeny tiny iridescent blue and gold glitters throughout. The base of this color is about the same as Sinful Colors "Dream On", for color reference. This one is nearly as intoxicating as a few of it's namesake drinks.
My full size custom this month was pretty awesome as well. Because, let's face it - I'm obsessed with circle glitters right now. The jelly dove grey base is loaded with teeny iridescent blue glitters that meld with the base in a gorgeous way. The larger glitters are all circles (YAY!) in small teal, medium fuschia, and large slightly blue-er teal. It built nicely after three layers.
Here's three layers of each painted out. There's something about that third layer that just brings out the bottle color. The first two coats are pretty sheer, and suddenly the full glory comes out. If I were trying to conserve the polish, I'd layer "Urban Island" over Zoya "Dove" and "Lime Rickey" over Sinful Colors "Dream On", as these colors represent the base colors pretty well. Apparently my pinky and those pink circle glitters were getting along REAL nicely.

Here's one more shot, you can see a little bit more of the iridescent glitters in "Urban Island"

One more look at the box contents; Full Size "Urban Island", Monthly Mini "Lime Rickey", and TWO treats this month: A "With Love Sammey" Refreshing Lime mini soak, and a caramel apple caramel - which may be gone now. I'm sure it got eaten in a respectable manner, and not nom-nom-nommed ferociously due to it's deliciousness. *innocent face*
A quick recap of the glitter guilty subscription program:
Officially named the "Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box" (oooh, naughty...), the program costs 15.99 per month and is easy to cancel at any time. Included in the price is;
-1 Full Size custom polish influenced by your preferences
-1 Monthly Mini polish which is the same for all members
-1 Monthly Mini polish which is the same for all members
-1 bonus treat - in the cooler months it's chocolate (always a win)
(NOTE: this was the first month we received a non-chocolate treat. I loved the caramel, and the mini soak was an EXTRA bonus item that is totally fitting with any polish-aholic's heart)
