Nail Inspirations: Disney's Maleficent

This nail look is inspired by the Disney movie Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie in theaters today.  I’m going to see it on Saturday with my Mom, I can’t wait.  Until then I’m posting a preview followed by the nail design.  Enjoy!

Subscription Boxes

Hello ladies,

I wanted to talk about subscription boxes. Mainly Birchbox, Ipsy, Beauty box 5, Nailette and Curlkit since those are the ones I'm subscribed to.  The cost of these boxes range between $10 and $20 per month.  The beauty boxes consist of samples, the nail box is 2 mini polishes, and Curlkit gives you 2 full size as well as deluxe samples of mainly hair products.

If you spend any time on youtube then you know all about subscription boxes since there are a ton of reviews and unboxing videos out there. What I wanted to know is if some of these mainstream boxes that claim to tailor your box to you really apply to us chocolate sistas.  I'm going to call this series Beauty by Mail, so when you see it as a blog title you know exactly what it's going to be about.  Are any of you ladies subscribed to box of the month clubs?  What do you think of them?  Have a suggestion that falls within my price points?  Leave a comment below and I'll check it out.

About This Blog

Hello and welcome to my blog Chocolate Nails and Beauty Tales.  

I was surfing the web the other day from Pinterest to Youtube and blogs for chocolate ladies who love polish like me. Surprisingly I  found very few, so I decided to start my own blog and that is how Chocolate Nails and Beauty Tales came to be.  I thought it would be nice to see swatches and color combos for women of a darker skin tone.  So If you think so as well then please re-post, tweet, pin, leave comments and join me on this journey of all things Polish, Beautiful and of course Chocolate!
