Hi guys! Today I have the Pre-Fall 2014 Trendbox from Nailbox to share with you! Each season the Nailbox Trendbox is curated by different bloggers and trendsetters, the Pre-Fall box was curated by the fabulous Chalkboard Nails! Sarah hand picked 4 polishes and an awesome top coat for the Pre-Fall box, these shades are a transitional collection that is meant to ease you into Fall from Summer! Check out swatches of everything Sarah chose after the jump!


Essie Matte About You is a matte top coat. You can put this over anything to transform it. Essie's Matte About You was one of the first matte top coats I ever owned and its still a favorite for me! I used 1 coat over Orly Hot Tropics for the photos below!




LVX Cashmere is a light beige with grey undertones. This one is great for any season, it will be great to wear on its own or layer glitters over. The formula was great, it was a really nice consistency and the opacity was really nice. I used 2 coats for the photos below.




NCLA Aly En Vogue Nail Wraps were a bonus in my box. I don't know if these will be in every box or not but I decided to include them since I know of a couple people who have also gotten them. The Aly En Vogue Nail Wraps are a triangle of a floral design on a black background over top of either a peachy base or a light mint base. NCLA Nail Wraps are a sticker-type of wrap which unfortunately don't wear very well on me but I really enjoyed them while they looked good! I think the design is fun and it was a nice extra!



NCLA Santa Monica Shore Thing is a minty blue green creme. This is another shade that really works for any season! The formula was good, it was a nice consistency and easy to apply. I used 2 coats for the photos below.





Orly Hot Tropics is a bright purple with a strong golden shimmer. This polish was a favorite of mine from Orly's Summer Collection so I was excited to see it as one of Sarah's picks! This color is seriously gorgeous! The formula was good, it was easy to apply and the opacity is good. I used 2 coats for the photos below.



Priti NYC Chrysanthos is a golden metallic foil. I really like the bit of silver in this, it doesn't take away from the golden look of this but it really sparkles out in the sun. The formula was good, it was a good consistency and the opacity was fantastic, nearly a 1 coater! I used 2 coats for the photos below.
