Go Beyonce ...it’s your Birthday

Where would the world be without the Queen B, Ms Beyonce Knowles Carter.. singer, artist, fashion icon, actress, designer, dancer, mum, wife, producer, song writer, model.. is there anything she can’t do? 

At the MeeBox HQ, we would like to take a moment to honour Beyonce’s birthday, who turns 34 today (4 Sept) by sharing our favourite nail designs rocked by Bey... 

Rocking a sunset orange in the “Party” music video

Carnival yellow on stelitto shaped nails 

Rocking a classic red, with fuschia pink

American flag nail art featured on Lady Gaga’s video, “ Telephone”

Nobody rocks metallic nails quite like Beyonce 

The natural look... 

Happy Birthday Beyonce!

MeeBox001 - California Dreamin

It’s been a labour of love, but after an interesting few months, the flagship MeeBox is out there, loose in the world making many ladies and gents (yes we have fellas on our subscriber list!) very happy.

So... what is inside? I’ll tell you!

As promised, we have 5 nail products including polish, treatment and nail art supplies - all inspired by the LA sunset from the bright orange setting sun to the purple horizon line and the turquoise water.

Models Own - Turquoise Gloss (Hypergel)

As avid blog readers here, we couldn’t help but notice that this polish is a BIG hit, in fact it seems to be the favourite of the entire HyperGel collection. So naturally - it had to go in!

Color Club - Disco Dress

This colour really does speak for itself - how can a purple be so deep while being so bright? We don’t care... we fell in love with Disco Dress as soon as we saw it!

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy

This infamous polish has a huge fan base and considered one of the BEST colours to wear with a tan. Its neon peach shade is near impossible to photograph accurately, which simply heightens its mystique. Seeing is believing with this one!

CND - Solar Oil

What are pretty nails without pretty cuticles? A quick swipe of this sweet smelling, nourishing, almond oil will soak right in and treat your cuticles to the pampering they so rightly deserve. If you like marzipan, you’ll love Solar Oil - smells good enough to lick! (But don’t lick it... kay?) 

Palm Stickers & Stencils - Whats Up Nails

We’re saving the best til last here as these vinyls are super fun and set off any beach inspired mani! Our friends at Whats Up Nails across the pond in the USA were excited to get involved with our little startup and boy were we glad to collaborate! These little beauties have been the cherry on the cake with the nail art created with this month’s MeeBox. (Or should we say the palm tree on the nail? Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it!)

Anyway if you head over to their site at whatsupnails.com we can guarantee you won’t want to leave without a basket full of goodies. Thank us later.

5 Ways MeeBox Remembers Aaliyah

All week at MeeBox HQ, we have been playing Aaliyah’s music to celebrate the singer’s life, who tragically died in a plane crash exactly 14 years ago. She was only 24 years old but by this time had released 2 studio albums (and was about to drop the 3rd!) starred in two Hollywood blockbusters and influenced a whole generation of women with not only her music but fashion too – always rocking freshest nails and slickest outfits. Naturally we started to chit chat about how Aaliyah influenced us, and what made her the star she truly was. Here’s our salute to Miss Haughton…

1.    Sense of Style 

Often you would see Aaliyah one day rocking baggy jeans and sunglasses and the next, dressed in sleek black dress for a movie premiere. In interviews, Aaliyah often said it was important to be herself and described her image as  “being important and best to differentiate yourself from the rest of the pack” which she certainly did! This led her be the brand ambassador for major brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Moschino.

2.    Musical Influence for Today’s Performers 

It’s hard not to see that performers you see on stage today have in some way, shape or form, been influenced by Aaliyah – from the likes of Rhianna, Rita Ora, Ciara and Beyonce. Aaliyah’s dance moves were always on point.

3.    Freshest Nails

Aaliyah was way ahead of her time and always rocked the freshest nails during interviews, music videos and red carpet moments. You have probably noticed Aaliyah make more than one appearance on the MeeBox Instagram account.

4.    The Sparkle in her Eyes

Aaliyah always managed to maintain that air of mystery about her with the infamous eye patch, which came about in the late 90’s when the singer changed her hairstyle for the release of second album “One in a Million”. In an interview, Aaliyah stated that she took her mother’s advice to cover her left eye, much like American actress Veronica Lake.

5.    Role Model

Way before the days of sex tape scandals, we had stars like Aaliyah that young women could look up to. Her lyrics were inspirational and uplifting, she always carried herself in a professional manner and used her talent, rather than her sex symbol status to sell her music.

RIP babygirl!
