August Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

Today I have my August maven box to show you guys, I really liked the colours in this months box, not enough to get the whole collection (although I think I thought about it)
Not even one day into swatching and wearing these polishes I had a mishap that caused my ring fingernail to break right off, I didn't even notice it happen until I was like wait something is WRONG.
So just incase you're wondering that's what happened.

Julep - Tatiana

Hey guys,

So this post as been sitting in my drafts forever so time to clear it out.

This is pretty much a fall colour, and seems like it would be perfect for an October manicure so of course I had swatched it in February or something ridiculous like that.
Pretty nice, maybe too orangey for me. However this may be your cup of tea.
This was two coats.

Formula X - Surreal

Hey guys,

So I have had a rough weekend, Friday I got dumped like yesterday's leftovers (I'm still trying not to be angry or bitter about this) but as a result of that I'm likely to have a lot more free time. So odds are normal posting may resume. Anyways love stinks. heck Who knows maybe I'll do some corresponding nails to mirror my feelings. Anything is possible.

Today I have another Formula X polish to show you, this is one of the holos, and it was on sale for like $6 or something. It's not the strongest holo I own and I have others similar to this. It was nice. And was holo-y. I don't know if this is a collection must own though.
 This was two coats.

Essie Sleek Stick - Sneek-e

Hey guys,

So these were given to me by my friend Nicole to try out since she always has gel nails so she really has no use for these.

Since they are Essie I was SO hoping that they would be the nail polish strips and not just flipping nail stickers.
No dice, these are stickers. Which means I'm probably going to hate them.

Sure enough I was hoping these puppies would last through my horse show in June but NOPE they lasted a DAY before they were peeling right off. I like the idea and the pattern but I HATE the stickers. They just don't last. After these peeled off I went and stole some old Sally Hansen nail strips my mom had gotten for christmas a couple years ago (You snooze you lose mom) And those worked perfect. Skip Essie, go for Sally Hansen

OPI - Bastille My Heart

Hey guys,

So a while back I was shopping for polish and this guy jumped at me, mostly because I love Bastille ever since my friend Kellee introduced me to them over a year ago. So this polish makes me think of them/her.

Plus it's red which YAY.
It's a bit sheer, and maybe could have used another coat. But I love me some reds so I don't mind.
This was two coats

Formula X - Marine

Hey guys,

So about a month ago now I had dragged the boyfriend into Sephora during a trip to the mall (I had wanted to go to the Lego store too) and while there I took a moment to browse the Formula X polishes which to be completely honest had never really tickled my fancy, they just seemed like a lot of what I already had. And after the debacle with the Sephora X Ariel polishes  - Also wtf Sephora no more Disney sets? How can you just QUIT like that?! - I just always passed them up however I was in a shopping mood. So I picked out three and they came home with me.

MAN IS MY MIND CHANGED. All I can say is that the impromptu polish purchase turned into me hopping on Sephora.com and ordering 10 more Formula X's mostly all on sale though.

I'm going to show you my favourite first. I was SO in love with this color, this was from the Seaglass Collection which is essentially sparkly matte glitters with no texture.

I LALALALALALAALLOVED this one. The application was great and wearing it just made me so happy. I didn't even get mad when it gave me smurf hands to remove.
This was two coats.

Julep - Betsey - August Birthstone

Hey guys,

So I just wanted to promise you that I still have a bunch of posts coming down the pipe. Supernatural Lacquer is having a restock this Friday and I have a plan to pick a bunch of stuff up from one of my favourite ladies. So that should be coming.

Today I have the Julep August Birthstone polish to show you. Honestly I can't even REMEMBER what last year's August polish looked like so obviously it didn't stand out too terribly much. This was a pretty duochrome. Went on a touch sheer, this is three coats. (Also lets have a moment of silence for my poor ring finger nail that was lost in battle - aka putting on my jeans, which is sometimes a battle)
