Mani Monday: St. Patty's Day with Julep

You guys, I'm proud of myself for attempting my first ever nail art using actual nail art tools! I know this trend of busy-ness on the nails is fading a bit and more simple, contemporary looks are on the rise - especially fun patterns and less variation, but I couldn't resist trying to do something fun and festive for St. Patty's Day.  On my nails: Julep Brandt (Creme Off Black), Julep Cindy (Gem Green) and Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat. 
P.S. Coming to Mani-Monday 3/25 - HUGE Essie Giveaway sponsored by several fabulous ladies! We have 12+ polishes plus a top & base coat to give away!  

Linking up with Heather for Mani-Monday!

Mani Monday: Mommy & Daughter Valentine Nails


Today I gave Zion and I Valentine inspired Mommy-Daughter Mani's.  :)  I couldn't be more thrilled with the result.  For my nails I used Julep Eileen as the base and Julep Freida for the accents, and the reverse on Zion's nails.  I also applied a coat of a a bokeh looking glitter on top of mine, then topped off with THE BEST TOPCOAT ever: Julep Freedom Polymer - seriously the best ever!

Can't wait to see all of your manicures today!

JulepMaven February Box


My Julep Maven box for February arrived late last week, and I'm floored at all the great items within it. I may even go as far as to say this was the best regular box ever!!  My box came with two polishes - I chose to change styles this month to "Bombshell" profile because my usual "Classic with a Twist" wasn't really exciting me - and I couldn't be happier!  I also received a nail treatment and a topcoat, plus a bonus eyelash curler!  I mean, seriously - talk about going above and beyond!!
The picture above features the oxygen nail treatment which is like "makeup for your nails."  It helps to strengthen, smooth and condition nails when used 1-2 times per week.  It is the perfect creamy sheer pale pink - I am absolutely in love with it.
My first official mani using color from this box features Ginger - a holographic pink/grey color that is gorgeous - probably my new favorite color in my collection.  It is shown above on my tips over Kelly - a pale creamy pink from a previous box.  Also showcased above is the most amazing topcoat I've ever used - the Freedom Polymer Topcoat!!  Three minutes after applying my polish is completely dry-set and read to go - fully chip resistant and looks like I had my nails done professionally!
The last color - which I have yet to try is this creamy olive green - such a different and unique color that I can't wait to play around with!  

I can't believe the value of the box I received and how fantastic Julep Maven is - they have seriously mastered the subscription box service - they are like the Ritz Carlton of beauty boxes!!  What do you think of this box!?
