My May
Julep box came the other day, so, I wanted to share with you a few new friends I'm adding to my nail polish collection.
I went with the
It Girl style this month because I loved the yellow/orange combination. Great spring colours! Plus, there was a magnetic polish.
Julep is having another promo this month -- so, if you haven't purchased a
Julep box before, you can get your first box for a
penny!
Click here (Link! -- ps, this is a referral link), take the style quiz, and then use this promo code on your purchase:
SHAREONMAY. One cent! How do you say no? Haha :).
On to the colours...
Nessa
Bright, shimmery yellow. It reminds me of a sheer version of
Chanel Mimosa. Remember when that was all the rage last year?
It applies nicely, like I said, a little on the sheer side. It takes two to three coats for an even, opaque finish. Overall, I'd give it
♥♥♥♥♥.
Ashley
Shimmery orange. I love the colour of this polish and it applies nicely. Similar to
Nessa, it takes two to three coats to reach opacity.
One thing I wasn't a fan of was the brush. Unlike previous
Julep polish brushes, the one for this bottle was splayed out. This made for a tricky application.
Aside from that, I'd give it
♥♥♥♥♥, for the simple fact that I love the colour.
Kylie
A magnetic violet. The colour isn't that unique, but the fact that it's magnetic makes it special. It even comes with its very own magnet. The polish applies beautifully. Opaque in one coat but two makes for an even finish.
I haven't quite mastered the
magnet art design (as you can see below). I botch it every time.
Without using a magnet, the polish has a metallic look to it. It does look cool when it's magnetized because the layer of silver separates from the violet base for a striped effect (at least, in theory -- the promo pictures on Julep's website probably give it more justice).
Once again, the brush in this bottle was splayed out.
Weird.
Overall, I'd give it a
♥♥♥♥♥.
Have you tried magnetic polishes? How do you get the accent stripes right? Is there a trick I'm missing out on?
Hope you're all having a wonderful day!! x
EDIT: Thanks to some amazing readers, I've learned that Julep is replacing the polishes with defective brushes. So if you've received one, then shoot customer service an email asap! :)
