With the ever growing popularity of polish boxes, I’m sure if you’re like me, you have a hard time keeping them all in order. Who and what’s included? When do you order? Where do I order? Well, no worries, you’ve come to the right place because I have taken all the guess work out of finding your perfect beauty box. If you’re new to polish boxes, let me just say they are a perfect way to try new indie brands and support those ones you already love. Many boxes include little goodies from some of your favorite nail related brands like cuticle oil/balms, nail vinyls, etc.
This will be an constantly evolving list of any and all boxes that are on the market. Be sure to check out FB and/or IG pages/groups for swatches and any month to month changes.
If you have any information to add, remove or edit, please post in the comments and I’ll do my best get them updated ASAP. Thanks!

With all the new brands popping up, I’m sure new boxes are coming and current boxes will be changing. So tell me, what box are you getting???

Helpful list, but many do not ship to Canada (or they decide that my polish is dangerous and refuse to ship it on so I stopped ordering them)

You should add the Creme a la Mode box to the list. It’s quarterly, and a killer deal.
