Cling Wrapping & Holo Stamping

Hi all,


Happy Friday!  We're supposed to have a super nice weekend here on the east coast and I'm sooo looking forward to hanging out in the sun :)

Just a quickie today:

This started out with a base of Julep Rose, which I wore alone for a little while.  But not being able to leave plain nails alone, I applied OPI Pink Friday on top and then used the clingwrap method to remove some of it.  I usually apply another colour using the cling wrap but decided to go a different route this time and liked the outcome a lot!  I found it had more of a marbled look.

Then using Ricki's Frosty Lavender (a color club dupe) I stamped the stripes using one of my Gals plate whose number I can't recall right now.  This was so pretty but I suck at taking photos of holo polish so the above picture will have to do.  Trust me when I say though that this does it no justice - it was much prettier irl!

Have a great weekend!  Thanks for reading :)

First Julep Polishes

Hi all!

I've decided to bite the bullet and hop on the Julep train recently.  I joined up using someone's code and therefore got my first box for a penny!

I ended up getting the American Beauty style profile box, and these are the two gorgeous colours I received.

Julep Eva, a gorgeous berry pink polish, and Renee a soft lilac.

Both polishes applied like a dream, and reached full opacity at just one coat, but I used two for good measure.  I finished off with a cute little rhinestone on my accent finger.

I really enjoy the idea of being a Julep maven.  Each box costs $20USD, and they are sent monthly but you always have the option to skip a month if you're not feeling the polishes.  Each box will always be worth more than what you actually paid for it.  In my first box I received two polishes at $14 each, plus the Best Pedi Cream Ever! which retails for $22.
