Julep Maven

In researching beauty sample subscriptions I came across Julep! WHY have I not known about this? It is a monthly nail polish subscription (name written all over it)! Willingly I submitted my information to join and have now received my second box. My first month's subscription as a Julep Maven was only a penny, yes, I typed PENNY! If you enjoy nail art or nail polishes in the least definitely try it for one month like I did and you can always cancel if you're not satisfied. If you're not good for remembering to cancel subscriptions...add a reminder into your smartphone! Penny promo code is COLORS4ONE. Also, it is one of the more expensive subscriptions out there at $19.99, but everyone (including myself) who reviews this company is more than happy with the product and customer service provided. Also, you get a sneak peek at what you will be receiving in your next month's box. If you aren't interested you can pick from different nail sets offered that month, skip the month or ship it to a friend for their birthday...just some ideas! Below are some pictures of my May Julep Maven Box ($40 value).

From Left to Right: 

Jessica is a baby blue creme polish.

Mandy is a deep poppy red.

Brooke is a fun shimmery purple that looks nice as a top coat or simple and sweet on its own.

Both Jessica and Mandy are highly pigmented and opaque, which I'm finding most of Julep's colors to be so. This is a great feature in a polish, because it helps with getting more use out of your product along with providing a perfectly, finished or POLISHED look...no pun :) I've tried all three and love them! 

This is my Color Club Foil polish I received in May's Birchbox coupled with Mandy from Julep! On a side note-Color Club has some really interesting colors, but they are chippers! Plan on daily touch ups when using their product. Julep lasts up to a week...and that's with working in retail!

Something fun and silly :) I had paired Jessica and Brooke together for a few days at work, but with feeling thematic in attending the Dave Matthews concert I decided to play around a bit!

Just received my second box in the mail today and I'm already testing out the new colors and anxious to share!

Cheers,
