Powder Box Online Store!!!!

Hey guys!!

You so gonna love this. *gg*

Do you remember when I asked you about your wishes for an online store, well the store is finished!! :-)

Unfortunately, I know it's a bit sad, they only sell OPI right now, buuuuut and that's an amazing but, they sell everything from OPI!!! Accessoires, gifts, lotions, creams,...

It's soooooooo amazing, let's show you some pics:

The store looks very friendly, that's the front page:

They sell gift sets, I've never seen something like that before!!

Feet products!! Did you know OPI sells them?? I didn't..

Pampering products :-)

My favorite part!! OPI's creams and scrubs, I was able to test them once when I got my refill and they are divine!! I absolutely adore the Espresso ones and I don't even like coffee, but the smell is amazing.

And last but not least, the nail polishes!! They also sell older collections. :-) One polish is 10,50€, so much cheaper than at Bipa, Douglas or Topsi, and far more variety.

Isn't it pretty?

Some additional info:

Shipping: For Austria it is 2,50€ which is nothing and for Germany 4,50€ and it doesn't matter how much you buy, the shipping remains the same! I hate it when I buy on ebay and in the end I have such a high shipping rate..
I don't know if they ship internationally, but I'm sure one can ask. :-)

One last thing and that is a huge advantage, you can go in their store and look at all the polishes and products, so you can see the actual colours!! And the store is tasteful, Barbara is lovely and it is NOT like at Micky Nails where you get kicked out for "just looking", still can't get over that..

I do NOT get payed for this post. lol
I just love Barbara, she is one of the kindest, loveliest people I know and I think this great store deserves some recognition!

So maybe you wanna check the site out. The homepage is:

Gel refill and an awesome christmas gift!

Yesterday I had my nails refilled and I am dazzled everytime!

This woman is an artist!!! I love her so much.

I even got a christmas gift - I could choose one polish from her store!!! Sooo amazing, I chose OPI's "Tease-y does it" from the new Burlesque collection, such an unbelievably beautiful colour!!!

Isn't it pretty??

Gel Nails Update

The gel is still quite intact, but one sees that my nails do indeed grow. *gg*

My new Gel nails aka the Powder Box experience

Hello lovelies,

If you've read some of my posts you will know that I love nail polish, but that my nails tend to look horrendous no matter what I try. So when my nails kept cracking and my cuticles tearing I decided to give gel nails a chance.

I was so sick of this fucked up look.. I am very wary when it comes to gel nails, cause they automatically remind me of girls with too much fake tan..

But since I was desperate I gave it a try. I heard of a studio called Powder Box Nail Salon in the 13th district, which uses OPI products only and immediately knew, if gel nails then OPI gel nails. *gg*

Powder Box is run by Barbara, a lovely woman who is in the business for over 7 years now. I adore her, she is so nice. She also sells OPI polishes and treatments.

I wanna show you the studio, it is so beautiful!

And those are my nails, the pic was taken the day after I had them done. Since then I was there one more time to let her file them a little shorter. *Gg*

I'm really happy, I chose the natural tips, so I can use all my nail varnishes :-)

The nails need to be refilled every three to four weeks. My nails grow surprisingly fast, I never noticed, cause they always broke. So I will be there again soon.

Pricewise, her studio is okay. A new set costs 70€ and the refill 38,50€. There are several studios out there, who are cheaper, I know, but I think the quality of the products she uses and her knowledge is totally worth it.

So if you're a fan of OPI, live in Vienna and want gel nails or just a manicure or pedicure, you should definitely check this out.
