April Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So I was super stoked when the reveal for the April box was released. The box was chock full of bright vivid colours, which I love. There was actually a lot of fantastic unique (to me anyways) colours in this box, so after a short battle with the rational half of my brain the compulsive half decided this month was an upgrade month. The colour descriptions are a bit interesting but that is neither here nor there. Oh man was I happy I went for the upgrade, click for more after the jump.




The Vivid Collection
Caitlin
Shocking hibiscus with gold shimmer
Yay! finally a Julep polish with my name and it is AWESOME! No sissy baby pink for my name. This is an in your face pink. A bit on the sheer-ish side so this is three coats.





Phoebe
Vibrant jungle chrome
Now I'm not sure exactly what colour Jungle is, but this is a it more green in real life than these pics show so we'll say that it's a green-teal colour. This was two coats.




Bailey
Hyped cobalt sheer
I really liked this one, It's more jelly than sheer (is there a difference? I don't know) but it built up well.
This is three coats.




Sunny
Overexposed yellow chrome
I really liked this one, it's super bright and I don't really have anything quite this shade of yellow. Watch for brush strokes though.
This was 3 coats.




Kayla
Electric iris sheer with violet sheen
This was probably my favourite of the collection, I couldn't stop staring at my nails all day.
This is 3 coats.




Tatum
Neon chartreuse chrome
Like Sunny, this is a green that I don't quite have anything similar to.
This is 2 coats.




Flora
Exotic dragon fruit with blue shimmer
Another winner here too, a super bright purple (not quite the colour of dragon fruit) with a great blue shimmer in it. This is 3 coats.





Maren
Electric bubblegum sheer with blue sheen
Another outside the box sheer here, This is four coats.




Mariska
Juicy tangerine shimmer
What is a vibrant collection without a fantastic orange? Here it is.
This is 3 coats.




Felicia
Black speckled mint crème
So this one is perfect for easter. It doesn't fit in with the collection but that is likely why it was an add on.
This is 2 coats
