December Nail Art Society Bag

<p style="text-align: center;">I got my first <a href="http://www.nailartsociety.com/">Nail Art society Bag</a> last week!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It has taken all my self control to not post until now! I was like a little kid in a candy store when opening the package!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Here's what was in the package this month.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ourpaintedworld.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/wreath-reindeer-sleigh/dsc02146/#main" rel="attachment wp-att-2575"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2575" alt="DSC02146" src="http://ourpaintedworld.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/dsc02146.jpg" width="388" height="282" /></a></p>

<div style="text-align: center;">The nail art theme this month was Dripping in Diamonds &amp; they included an instruction card for how to achieve the look, but I forgot to photograph it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>In this month's bag I received:</strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong> 2 polishes</strong>. They are both Max Makeup Cherimoya matte-n-a brand. The silver one is called Blockbuster and the berry one is Mystery. I have photos lower down in the post, but for now I'll just say I liked the polish, it was a one coater! It smells funny and the brush is kind of HUGE, but it went on well and I didn't even have a problem with drag!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The Stella package standing up in the background has <strong>several sizes of rhinestones</strong> in it along with an orange stick. I used them on the mani for this post and they were very sparkly and pretty, just the way rhinestones should be. ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">They also included <strong>nail glue</strong> for the rhinestones. I'm not a fan of using nail glue, I prefer top coat. I'll probably end up using it for nail repairs instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Last but not least there was a container of <strong>Cherimoya Jasmine nail remover pads</strong>. I haven't tried them out yet, but I'll try to remember to let you all know what I think of them once I do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">I'm glad I joined mid November because just before my package came I received an email letting me know the monthly price was going up for new members!! Thankfully I am locked into the original price. :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">So here's what I did following the tutorial on the enclosed card. I was slightly disappointed that the card didn't include a photo example with the tutorial, but the tutorial was very explanatory so I ended up not needing a photo after all. ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ourpaintedworld.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=2593#main" rel="attachment wp-att-2593"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2593" alt="DSC02163gimp" src="http://ourpaintedworld.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/dsc02163gimp1.jpg" width="388" height="212" /></a>They are definitely "<em>Dripping In Diamonds"</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Aren't those polish colors gorgeous?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">I'd never heard of this company before, have you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ourpaintedworld.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=2592#main" rel="attachment wp-att-2592"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2592" alt="DSC02161gimp" src="http://ourpaintedworld.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/dsc02161gimp1.jpg" width="388" height="244" /></a>I didn't use a top coat because I wanted to keep the matte look of the polish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">I'm really excited to try the polish and rhinestones out separately on other manicures!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">So far I'm happy with the first kit I received.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">I'm not sure I would have signed up at the new price.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">I looked up all the products in this kit and using the cheapest prices I found for each item it came out to $21.92 (including shipping, but not any tax). Since I paid for a full year my monthly price is $8.28... I feel like I'm getting a really good price for the kit!!!!</div>
