My First Julep Experience

Hi Lovelies!  I am a self proclaimed nail polish addict and I love checking out the newest colors and trends.  I had heard about Julep a while back, thanks to youtube and beauty blogs, but I never got around to trying it.  

Julep is a monthly  subscription service that chooses nail polishes that reflect your style based on a style quiz.  If you are not crazy about the colors, you can view all of the style profiles and pick the one you like best!  I believe it is $19.99 per month but I received my first box for one cent by using the coupon code: color2012

Anyways, the box came in less than a week and here is what I got:

My style is Boho Glam :)

 

 The Packaging is super cute!

My package came with two polishes and a foot creme

Now on to the nail polish:

Sasha- a fresh cantaloupe, melon creme

Toni- Greige with a hint of lavender creme

The colors are both really pretty in person and true to their descriptions.  I love creme finishes!  I have not yet tried Sasha but I am currently wearing Toni on my nails below (w/ Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me as my ring finger accent). It was easy to apply and I only needed two coats for full opacity.  

 I really like the Julep Nail Polishes and think they are good quality.  However I am not sure I want to commit $19.99 a month to the service on top of my impulse Essie and OPI purchases.  I may do another month or two and then decide....stay tuned :)  Have you tried Julep? Let me know what you think.

Glitz and Glam: Fabulous Holiday Nails

Hi Ladies! Do you have a holiday party to attend and want to kick it up a notch? Try this glamorous party look that I came up with. I used Gold Coin by Revlon as my base color. It is a beautiful, soft white-gold metallic shade. Gold Coin is fairly opaque so I only used one coat. This polish was easy to work with and dried pretty fast.

After waiting a couple minutes, I topped it with Sephora by OPI's Only Gold For Me. This polish is absolutely gorgeous. It is a clear polish with chunky and micro golden glitter flecks.

Only Gold For Me is also super pretty on its own for a more understated look. I absolutely love this combination for any holiday event. It is super glitzy and gives a jeweled effect to your nails.

So slip on a cocktail dress, rock some bold red lips, and have a fabulous night! What are your favorite holiday nail polishes? -xoxo, Stacy
