Julep Maven- My First Box!

I received my first Julep Maven Box and wanted to share it with you all! If you are unfamiliar with this fabulous new nail polish subscription service, check out my post about this awesome program here: Fab-YOU-lous: Julep Maven Program: AMAZING DEAL!

Upon first glance of my package when it arrived , I was so happy with the lovely packaging! Like other subscription services, such as Birchbox, your package will come with a card with information about the products that you are receiving. In addition, I received a personalized note hand-signed by the CEO/Founder of Julep welcoming me to the program, which I thought was a very nice additional touch. 

I chose the "It Girl" box, which consists of 4 polishes in total-3 nail polishes and 1 quick dry top coat polish. The "It Girl" featured the following products: 
- Julep Fast Dry Topcoat
- Dark, gunmetal grey, Kim
- Ultra-saturated fuchsia, Helena- Charcoal base with a magenta sparkle in a vibrant magenta, Chloe

This kit also included bonuses in addition to my selected polishes:

- Age Defying Hand Brightener Sample

- Hand Cream Sample

- Gold Star Nail art glitter

Julep Maven Program: AMAZING DEAL!

Hello my fabulous fashionistas, this post is specifically for my beauty and nail lovers! I am beyond excited to tell you all about a new monthly subscription service that I just found out about! A new sampler program has recently launched and it’s all about, you guessed it, nail polish!! The Julep Maven program will send you their monthly “Sneek Peek Box” which includes on-trend nail polish colors and a variety of mani-pedi products (like hand scrubs, lotions, etc). Think Birchbox for nails! The membership fee is $19.99 per month but you always will get over $40 of products in each box- what a steal! 

You will take a style quiz to determine what style profile most suits you and Julep will make a suggestion as to what box would suit your style for each month. However, one feature that Julep has that most other monthly samplers don’t is that you can choose what products are sent to you, so you won't be stuck with any disappointing samples that you’ll never use! And if you just aren’t feeling anything Julep is offering in their boxes that month, you can skip your shipment and will not be charged for the month. 

Check out the intro video below with more information about the program!

Deborah Lippmann Don't Tell Mama Nail Lacquer

Deborah Lippmann Don't Tell Mama Nail Lacquer is my new favorite go-to shade for this winter. This hue is a deep jewel-toned green with a fine overlay of shimmer. The glossy formula dries to a super shiny finish, absolutely lovely. Deborah Lippmann calls this shade “mood ring blue/green.” 

Never thought you’d be lusting after a green nail polish? That makes two of us, but I swear this shade is absolutely perfect. Apply at least two coats, waiting for each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. To get an extra dark look, apply a third coat. 

Being an obsessive, yet recent, fan of these polishes, I am surprised by how fast my fabulous polish collection has been growing. Do you have any nail polishes by Deborah Lippmann? What colors do you love? 

 

You can purchase the Deborah Lippmann Don't Tell Mama Nail Lacquer at Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, etc. 

Retail Price: $16

Nail Tutorial: Sparkle Gradient Manicure

Hi fashionistas! This post is a tutorial on how to get this awesome sparkle gradient manicure!

Here is what you need:
- Top coat
- Base coat
- OPI by Sephora Looks Like Rain Dear polish 
- OPI Simply Smashing polish
- OPI by Sephora silver glitter top coat 
- Glitter pot for nails by Sephora/ any loose glitter you have- I used Make Up Forever silver glitter (optional)
- OPI drip dry drops (optional)

First start by prepping your nails with a buff and filing. Apply one layer of top coat to all of your nails. Next add two coats of OPI by Sephora Looks Like Rain Dear polish to all of your nails, with appropriate drying time between coats.

Now layer on the OPI Simply Smashing polish, but only to the top half of your nail- this actually looks best if you start about 3/4 of the way up your nail and apply lighter towards the middle and heavier towards the tip of the nail. After your first coat, do a second coat but this time only at the end of the nail, making this part darkest and most covered by the color.

 Next, layer on the glitter top coat all over the nail, do this at your own preference level. If you want even more sparkles, you can also layer on some loose glitter from a glitter pot. Both of these steps are dependent on how much glitter you want on your nails.

To finish of the manicure be sure to apply a generous top coat to seal in all of the sparkles. I always use OPI drip dry drops to make my manicure dry super fast (these drops are a lifesaver, seriously trust me I couldn't live without these!)


Ta-da! Here is your fabulous glittery manicure! I hope you enjoyed this nail tutorial :) Let me know if you try it out!
