Julep Polishes Review





Julep "Glenn & Sarah"




 So these were from the month of February as well, but part of a separate box from the maven box. It came with 4 polishes which included a silver metallic and white cracked polish.

**Glenn**

Glenn is a sweet metallic reddish polish. It looks a more like hot pink with the flash on but it really leans more towards red than pink in regular light. Like with most Julep polishes the polish went on smoothly and required two coats. Lasted about 4 days before chipping!



**Sarah**


So Sarah is a glitter polish with a creamy pink base. The glitter is holographic and very small so it is pretty much blended into Glenn. I think if it was a bit bigger glitter then it would have shined so much more. Either way it went on easily and one coat is shown over Glenn in the photos.

Julep - Boho Glam February Review



JULEP MAVEN FEBRUARY POLISH DUO




In the next few days I'll be posting some polish reviews like crazy. I've gotten so far behind but like I said in my last post I've had some family issues to deal with. So are you ready, because I am so ready to get back into the swing of things. So ready for my first polish review of the day - and week?

Julep Ingrid is the first in line and is a nice rich orange. Okay now normally I'm not a huge fan of orange, but this one definitely works. I think because its more on the rich side that it doesn't bother me. It is a bit thicker consistency, which is fine by me because it meant less coats. Julep polishes last for about 3-5 days, of course it depends on how hard you are on your hands and nails. Not many polishes can withstand washing a sink full of dishes after a huge dinner. Julep Ingrid is nice and I love it, seriously a great orange polish to get if you're ever in the market for one. They go for $14 on Julep's website or you can become a Julep Maven and get two polishes and an extra product for about $20.




The second polish in the set was Julianne - as in Julianne Moore. Its a soft blue-ish grey that, again, had a thick smooth consistency. I could have used only one coat, but put two coats on because that's what I normally do. These are thick polishes, but they go on super smooth!

Julep August Box Review




BEAUTY CORNER REVIEWS
JULEP August Box



"Stefani"


So Julep jumped on the metallic trend and sent out to great colors - Dakota and Stefani. Stefani is a great metallic silver that looks fantastic! It did have a different consistency than other polishes. I noticed the difference because of all the tiny bubbles that ended up on my nails. Honestly I like the way they look, it's really makes it look more like bubbling metal. It was hard to not grab too much on the brush as its kind of thick. 




"DAKOTA" 




Also in the box was Dakota which is a copper colored polish. It really reminds me a shiny new copper penny. It too was a bit thick and ended up being even more bubbly and uneven than Stefani. Now I'm sure its my shoddy work that made them like that, as I've seen them look super smooth on others pictures. Anyway it looked great in the sun. It was super shiny and I got nothing but compliments when I wore it. Seriously love the whole metallic trend!





Last thing in the box was the best thing in the box, well in my opinion. It was Julep Nail Polish Remover and I'm in love. Seriously it's fantastic! I love the little top that you can pump the remover onto your cotton ball. Depending on how much you turn the top open, that's how much remover will come out. If that wasn't awesome enough the remover itself is great. It really left my cuticles feeling soft and no stinky smell. Seriously I'm in love with this stuff and will have to buy more.


So you can get in on the fun for about $19.95 every month by joining Julep Maven. By joining you can either get 2 polishes and a another Julep product, or get the It Girl which gives you three polishes. Now at first $20 a month seems like a lot, but considering how much polishes are, its not a bad value. If you were to get the It Girl Box it would be about $6.65 per polish. That is cheaper than a few other polish brands that you can buy in many department stores. So what are you waiting for? Just try it out and if you don't like it then you can cancel it, anytime.  You can try out the promo code "PENNY" to see if it works and get your first box for $.01
