January Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

Today I have my January maven box to show you. This months theme was Chrysalis which means change. There are some changes to the maven program this year, they're going to really start focusing on beauty products as much as polish instead of polish with a side of beauty products. We'll see how this goes.

Lacquer Lust - Butt Bootie Naked

Hey guys,

Today I have a squashed lemming to show you! I've wanted this nude holo for a long time now and it was always sold out when I went to go buy it so I decided to grab it when I saw it in stock at Harlow & Co and I'm glad I did because man do I love this! There is something about a nude holo that I just love
This was two coats.

My Beauty Spot - "Cranberry"

Hey guys,

 So this is a brand I have seen several times at Winners, usually in some faux Ciate type packaging. I am always leery of buying brands I've never really heard of. That being said I acquired this one from my bestie Nicole, I'm pretty sure she got it in a subscription box. I tried googling it and really can't find anything about this brand other than a post or two here and there.

This colour is right up my alley and this was a colour the BF chose when I told him to grab a polish off the table for me to wear. I have to say this polish smells really bad. I couldn't find an ingredients list or anything so I have no clue if it is 3 free or not I just tried not to inhale. Otherwise application was nice.

Julep - Geena - January Birthstone

Hey guys,

Today I have the first polish from Julep's 2015 Birthstone collection. I didn't think they would be making another one, but I'm actually not surprised because there are usually alternate birthstones and some people were unhappy with the choices so hopefully this year they'll be able to wrap up the alternates and make everyone happy. This is a pink shimmer with a blue flash, it's quite pretty not something I would likely wear all the time but pretty none-the-less
This was three coats.

Julep - Bette

Hey guys,

Wow so I have really sucked about the whole posting on Mondays and Wednesdays then weekends thing. Of course Mondays and Wednesdays are busy days for me good job Caitlin. Sorry guys please bear with me. Anyways so I've never really been super into make up or products without chemicals, I mean I'm not against it but I've never really cared but I spent some time in Lush today and they do a lot of Vegan products (I'm so not a vegan) and I tried one of their shampoos (totally weird for me to put sea salt in my hair) and I LOVED it. I may be a convert. But still not a hippy

Today I have a bright Julep polish to show you. This is a fluorescent purple, which obviously isn't a super fluorescent color so this is about as bright as it gets. This dried semi-matte and when a top coat was added had a jelly effect. This was three coats.

Nicole by OPI - I Lilac Gumdrops

Hey guys,

Today I have one of NOPI's textured gumdrops polishes to show you. This was a birthday gift from my friend Jazmin and I was super excited to try this one out. It reminds me a lot of China Glaze's Sea Goddess collection i loved this shimmery lilac, the texture of this was fairly fine. This was two coats.

Deborah Lippmann - Across the Universe

Hey guys,

Okay so it just occurred to me that spring collections have started coming out. Which means spring is almost here which means summer is just around the corner! Okay maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. Anyways I'm over winter.

So today I have a squashed lemming for you guys. This was a present from my NPBFF Melissa. I have wanted this for so long yet always managed to talk myself out of it. So here it is. I am so in love with this dark blue jelly glitter. This was two coats.

Lacquer Lust - Garnet - January Birthstone

Hey guys,

Today I have the very first Lacquer Lust birthstone polish to show you for the year! I have the majority of the polishes in this collection so I am seriously hoping I can get the 4 I am missing. I have a couple months to get a hold of May so here's hoping there is a restock.

I love the fairly strong holo in these polishes, they aren't Nfu Oh strong but they are definitely up there. Great application. This was two coats.

A England - Crown of Thistles

Hey guys,

So I don't know about you guys but I frequently think "Why don't I play more board games?" then I have a games night with some of my friends and get my butt whooped in Monoply and remember I am a sore loser. That's why I don't play board games more often.

Today I have the last of A England's new collection. I saved one of my favourites for last. This is a royal purple holo. I love this. perfect application This was two coats.

A England - Fotheringhay Castle

Hey guys,

Okay so it's getting late and I am completely bagged so I'm just going to make this short and sweet and move right along to the polish.

Tonight I have the second last of A England's new collection to show you. This is the olive green in the collection I actually really liked this one even though olive is no where near one of my favourite colours. I loved the holo in this and this was ONE COAT.

A England - Virgin Queen

Hey guys,

So today was the worst, my body is not happy with the return to reality. Although I came home from work to find a bunch of packages of stuff I had ordered from Boxing day sales so bonus! It's like Christmas the Sequel.

Today I have another A England for you, this is a frosty grey/champagne. What can I say great application here. This was two coats.

A England - Queen of Scots

Hey guys,

So I do NOT want to go back to work on Monday I didn't get nearly enough of nothing done. And the thought of having to shock my system back into a normal sleep pattern is terrifying. But that being said every day is one day closer to Disney World so that is something.

This is another polish from A England's New collection. This may have actually been my favourite from the collection or could have been. Once I got the hang of application it was great at first there was a bit of dragging. This was two coats.
