The August So Susan LacquerLove monthly subscription box has arrived and this month’s theme is Festival Chic incorporating the festival season which comes to life this time of the year. Come rain or shine rock your nails in style with this month’s LacquerLove Box.

So Susan is a brand which is known to have the prettiest quirky packaging and definitely a brand which stands out. Their collection of products ranges from make-up to nail varnish combining their lovely portfolio of colours with science. Their philosophy is to create colours which last and is kind to your skin.

This box includes 5 full sized items four of which are 4- free nail varnishes and one bonus make up product each month from Jelly Pong Pong with So Susan being the sister company. Their monthly edits include lacquer shades especially selected to compliment their theme for the month.

This pastel coloured and elegantly designed box is very So Susan designed and comes in the form of a gift box which is secured by a magnetic fastener.

Inside the box was four 4-free nail lacquers and a bonus Jelly Pong-pong Blusher & Contour Palette from the Dainty Doll range.

1. So Susan 4-Free Nail Lacquers – Full Size. RRP £6.95 each

The So Susan nail lacquers are highly pigmented and are formulated to be chip-free and to remain intense with shine from the first application. The formula has quick drying time and is enriched with Rosehip fruit oil to moisturise and strengthen your nails and the delicate skin around it.

These nail lacquers they are 4-free which means they contain no DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate), no Toluene, no Formaldehyde and no Formaldehyde resin. A nail varnish which contains no nasties making it the ideal product which is kind to you.

This month’s box  included the shades Bangles, Strawberry, Rock & Roll and Orange Glow (Full sized retailed at £6.95 individually).

These nail lacquers have a wonderful formula and the colour payoff is pretty good.The most impressive factor is the shine which these lacquers give without the need for a top coat and one coat is all it takes to show it’s true colour.

I love that this month’s box featured a range of different finishes which included vibrant, glitter and metallic.

2. Dainty Doll Blusher & Contour Palette by Nicola Roberts – Full Size RRP £10.00

In 2008 Nicola Roberts, of Girls Aloud joined forces with brand Jelly Pong Pong to create Dainty Doll, a makeup collection for pale faced beauties . The concept was to embrace porcelain skin by delicately accentuating your features instead of overpowering them with harsh colours and formulas.

This dual compact is a blush and contour in the shade Blossom which comes in peach and a slight brown shade. The peach blush is delicate and quite subtle and ideal for paler complexions.

It appears that this product along with the Dainty Doll brand has now discontinued and there’s a handful of items available on ebay!

My Verdict

Overall this is an unique subscription box  which concentrates only on nails and is the first of it’s kind in the UK subscription market. I love So Susan’s concept of this monthly box it’s certainly one which will ensure you have the latest colour trends in your collection. I also like the fact that you receive a bonus make up product too making the discovery not just nails. Alternatively this would also make a lovely gift.

This box is worth £37.80 which is great value for money as the box itself is only £14.95 including P&P. You certainly won’t be in the dark with this box as you will be able to preview the box and all it’s contents prior to it being sent to you however if you don’t fancy the pickings you can simply skip the month giving you complete control and flexibility.

 There’s a colour to suit every occasion in this box making it the ultimate box for all you nail varnish enthusiasts and fans.
