Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July!
Today I thought I’d quickly share one of the new nail polishes in my collection: it’s called Tracy, and it was a part of the It Girl box from Julep Maven in July.
It seemed like the perfect polish to wear for the holiday…it has a sparkly sheen to it, and the ocean blue hue is eye catching but not overwhelming. It has a “sea salt” type finish as well, which means that the polish isn’t exactly smooth when it dries. There is a slight texture to the finished polish, which is a little bit different to get used to at first (I kept running my fingers over my nails), but I have found myself quite fond of the overall look it gives my nails.
If you aren’t familiar with Julep polishes, they are formaldehyde free. I have found them to be fast drying, and the pigments in the polishes are usually awesome – I typically only need one coat of color for full coverage. Julep Maven is a monthly program – you make your style profile, and each month you are presented with a collection of nail polishes and products. You can opt out each month if you don’t wish to purchase a box as well. And, if you don’t like the selection of polishes/products in your style profile category, you don’t have to select them. If you see a profile box that you prefer, you can always opt into that profile for the month. If you’re interested, follow this link to sign up to be a Julep Maven.
What manicure were you sporting for the 4th of July?
Ooh I like that!! Can you only get Julep polishes through the monthly program? I like the textured look…I wonder if it holds up better than smooth polish?
I think you might have to create an account in order to purchase! I have to say, I’ve been wearing the polish for one week now, and there is not a single chip so far! I think there might be something about the texture that helps…
I have never tried Julep polish before, but it sounds really nice. The color is great with all those sparkles. I have blue on for the holiday too 🙂
I was a bit skeptical about blue polish at first, but it has really grown on me now that it is painted on!
Modern Beauty includes Sea Salt Texture Spray and Beach Tonic Dry Body Oil I love that Julep is expanding their products, but I am not happy about not offering any nail polishes in one of their style profiles. In my opinion, they should include at least one polish. Saying that, I am very interested in these products. I don’t need the texture spray since I have naturally curly hair, but the body oil is certainly catching my eye!
