Julep May Box

Julep May: The Fresh Twist Collection

This was my first time buying the whole collection. The diversity of the shades and the gorgeous shimmer polishes made it worth it to me.

Maddy- a bold hot pink with silver shimmer.

Romana- a very pale pastel lavender.

Kam- a pastel spearmint green creme. 

Jules- a soft basic pink shade. A girl can never go wrong with a polish like this.

Iona- a bold blue that leans purple.

Jeanne- a bright baby blue creme.

Paulette- a medium lilac with gold shimmer .

Laree- this shade is a mixture between coral and dark pink with gold shimmer.

Sayaa- a peach pastel with gold shimmer.

Today I have my picks from Color Club's Girl About Town collection for Fall 2013.

The Uptown- a flakie polish suspended in a royal purple jelly base

Julep Emerald Set

Julep recently came out with a emerald set that included "Angelina" a shimmer polish and "Esmeralda" a matching glitter polish. The picture below shows two coats of "Esmeralda" over "Angelina."

This set also came with an emerald necklace to go with the polish. I initially was not too thrilled with the necklace, especially seeing as it is more of a grass green shade and does not match the green of the nail polish, but it is growing on me and I'm starting to really like it now.

Pop The Question

 I started this look with three coats of China Glaze "Pop The Question." This polish is pretty sheer. I doubt that it would be able to cover the nail line at any amount of coats.

 Next I added two coats of China Glaze "Crystal Chandelier" This polish is very subtle and adds just a touch of sparkle to any nail look.

Orly Winter Collections

My Orly collection is not as big as it probably should be, but I love the few I have. Coincidentally  3 out of the 4 are from winter collections and pretty similar shades.

The first I have to show today is "Winter Wonderland" from T'is the Season 2010. This is a white glass fleck. The photo below is three coats.

Next up is "Au Champagne" from Holiday Soirée 2011. This is a shimmery white that is not to stark, but still is clean and refreshing to look at.

The last polish (and also the accent nail on the picture above) is "Halo" from Naughty or Nice 2012. This is a fine grain champagne gold glitter with slightly larger silver glitter. I love the mixture of the silver and gold together. Its flashy without being too 'in your face.'
