Today's second nail polish is actually a review of Maniology's "Joyful Jasmine" cuticle oil. This cuticle oil came as part of a Mani x Me box and I have been using it every since! Here's what the bottle of cuticle oil looks like:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjE16Eh0TazOxa8mnBF3ssYPVdxYuT-YJhK0KcCRBCaITTD6bTWbJk_Aq-C7Ab1YZp04H_gsvem6AkvfN6l9mBwurqIp26QNkWh44lbJt2tcYud5Q3StCjORGxMGpUFg9rE8RpHvHFxNXJdSCCN7qc2jmDr-VlecTdGyEXOk9NeUXBlqRniAjVKJp36ew=s3115" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3115" data-original-width="2059" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjE16Eh0TazOxa8mnBF3ssYPVdxYuT-YJhK0KcCRBCaITTD6bTWbJk_Aq-C7Ab1YZp04H_gsvem6AkvfN6l9mBwurqIp26QNkWh44lbJt2tcYud5Q3StCjORGxMGpUFg9rE8RpHvHFxNXJdSCCN7qc2jmDr-VlecTdGyEXOk9NeUXBlqRniAjVKJp36ew=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></div><br /><div>I apply cuticle oil about once a day, which is much needed during the Winter seasons.

The formula of this nail polish was great and it applied nicely to my nails. "Cutie Pie" is a very sheer polish, however it can be built up some. I applied three coats of polish for the photos and you can clearly see the color.

As I continue to catch up on the backlog today's post features Maniology's Mani x Me December 2021 box. Each box has a unique theme that features two stamping polishes, two stamping plates and a surprise nail art item.

Here are this month's nail polishes:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhnrNVMpG-mSYHD9x_r6e8ItM_UDyBN2eHAPesubr9Cf2QRZNGVwUymo2vXR3sPErlCflR5NP_UhRIqJDoI2SqPBLFzlk6lgG5a-rLec66DghCLmz8yqRWYU1ftUpaDiXu_bne4SXTFWlYs_-k001V7mTRHjsw2dxymosc1f5lSDHXdDa4L5_oTYEkvzg=s2592" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2578" data-original-width="2592" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhnrNVMpG-mSYHD9x_r6e8ItM_UDyBN2eHAPesubr9Cf2QRZNGVwUymo2vXR3sPErlCflR5NP_UhRIqJDoI2SqPBLFzlk6lgG5a-rLec66DghCLmz8yqRWYU1ftUpaDiXu_bne4SXTFWlYs_-k001V7mTRHjsw2dxymosc1f5lSDHXdDa4L5_oTYEkvzg=w400-h398" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>"Folklore" and "Whimsy"</b></div><p>With the Wintery color scheme of this month's box "Folklore" with its light grey and "Whimsy" with its turquoise with iridescent shimmer are both perfect!

The formula of this nail polish was pretty thick but the glitter was easy enough to manipulate over my nails.

So I decided to try "Meet Me In Mayfair" over Maniology's "Green House." This combination turned out okay but it didn't show the black bar glitter very well. Here's how the combo turned out:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtnNsHKRwB2phTJ9eQ5zl6DUnSGHmD7FyOFrkA1usNPRUBjj3CqCJ_8HzdgUK1I19xkXfCM-ZNX3BNXUGIQ2DAbE29TBBP95AOtS2ZTSpqaycJbN3KHiRpsvj9t9pzfBE39aTOMoqNYU6AjDUAJRV-A-Zn5euG-7bIHuRI4iMx2oGIzQ1xXAo4OP1kfw=s3086" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2750" data-original-width="3086" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtnNsHKRwB2phTJ9eQ5zl6DUnSGHmD7FyOFrkA1usNPRUBjj3CqCJ_8HzdgUK1I19xkXfCM-ZNX3BNXUGIQ2DAbE29TBBP95AOtS2ZTSpqaycJbN3KHiRpsvj9t9pzfBE39aTOMoqNYU6AjDUAJRV-A-Zn5euG-7bIHuRI4iMx2oGIzQ1xXAo4OP1kfw=w640-h570" width="640" /></a></div><p>Overall I like Ciate's "Meet Me In Mayfair."

Today's throwback post features Maniology's Mani x Me box from September 2021. Each box has a different theme and features two stamping nail polishes, two stamping plates and a surprise extra nail art item.

Here are this month's nail polishes:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4aDWEaxQWHOqA0sqJ8_hRNdkgv2puvcuTR1Vuy1sTRYKI0jv6NV6ccAOXnCQ6pF-k1sTY8vy7-oDE7Q82BUg6Ey1y-5Gov9yF09VRcJKOCtQnxENMV7CZeAdNgp9ZHcfHjwo-AKgmAGrEFjkdMZXXYL1spZ2XWFz4nWQt2aBknEBBo1UPr_uAad5wjQ=s2341" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2341" data-original-width="2094" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4aDWEaxQWHOqA0sqJ8_hRNdkgv2puvcuTR1Vuy1sTRYKI0jv6NV6ccAOXnCQ6pF-k1sTY8vy7-oDE7Q82BUg6Ey1y-5Gov9yF09VRcJKOCtQnxENMV7CZeAdNgp9ZHcfHjwo-AKgmAGrEFjkdMZXXYL1spZ2XWFz4nWQt2aBknEBBo1UPr_uAad5wjQ=w358-h400" width="358" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>"Doom" and "Gloom"</b></div><p>This month's polishes are "Doom" and "Gloom." "Doom" is a gorgeous pumpkin orange with a golden shimmer and "Gloom" is a plum purple with a golden shimmer. These two polishes are absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to test these out with some stamping plates! September's first plate is MXM063 and it features lots of full nail designs for Halloween. Here's MXM063:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgeDHCsun3nNBXcLQin0hW1vjTrWVCugfPekVUtKA7-D-flhTzp8RQle51vDm_oIEkHr3NSwCnj5J0EVfrG1j334x_yvVy2MIVD2CdfN2mUSe2SJv9TFjK1-oqdbCcTVCghKkpK9tYu8YAEvAH58YJCXPwmsof0im-84fe_ygigjWtdtbWIQcUELFGVkQ=s3876" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2101" data-original-width="3876" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgeDHCsun3nNBXcLQin0hW1vjTrWVCugfPekVUtKA7-D-flhTzp8RQle51vDm_oIEkHr3NSwCnj5J0EVfrG1j334x_yvVy2MIVD2CdfN2mUSe2SJv9TFjK1-oqdbCcTVCghKkpK9tYu8YAEvAH58YJCXPwmsof0im-84fe_ygigjWtdtbWIQcUELFGVkQ=w640-h346" width="640" /></a></div><p>The second plate for this month is MXM064, which features lots of spooky Halloween themed items along with a few mote full nail designs.
