December Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So since December is my birthday month and I was into this month's box I decided to treat myself and use my Jules for a full polish upgrade (ALL THE POLISH) and then a couple add ons of their new Whipped Lip mousses, and a cuticle oil which I love.

Aurora - 4 Alarm Fire

Hey guys,

Here is another one from my bestie. This one is actually quite similar to Mighty Mango.
This was from a brand I had never heard of before. Nice application, I definitely wouldn't be opposed to trying more of these.

This was three coats

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

Lacquer Lust - Ruby - July Birthstone

Hey guys,

Boom! another Birthstone. I'm excited to be able to bring you more Lacquer Lust birthstones because I LOVE THEM.
Indie holos, TAKE MY MONEY.

Yep love them. And this one is red (albeit a pinky red) which is of course my favourite colour. Red seems to be a hard colour to holo for most people but I will take what I can get because YAY.

As usual beautiful application here, this was two coats.

Lacquer Lust - Ruby

Julep - Iman - July Birthstone

Hey guys,

So after the full week of posts (remember when that happened EVERY DAY... seriously what has happened to my life?) I'm not about to leave you postless for a week.

Today I have the Julep July Birthstone to show you, this year's is much more shimmery as opposed to full on glitterbomb of last year. Which do I like better? Hmm well they're both sparkly and red which is A-okay with me, but if I had to choose I think I prefer the glitterbomb that was Martina.

This was two coats.

Ruby for July

June Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So to be honest I definitely wasn't super stoked on this month's box, lots of Jellies which aren't always my bag, I would rather bright vibrant colours when it comes to months like June, but I don't have a lot of jellies so I figured why not lets grab a couple of those and then throw in a minty colour too for good measure.

February Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

Today I have my February Julep box to show you. Initially when this month's window popped up I had intended to skip this months box well somehow that turned into me taking the box AND adding three add-ons. Let me tell you I'm sure happy I did, this month's box was CHOCK full of freebies.

Along with my 6 polishes I ordered I got 2 surprise polishes (one not pictured since I had it already), the special Valentines day polish, and 5 extra bottles of the Valentines day polish to give to friends.

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.

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.
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 - Gloriana

Hey guys,

Okay so yesterday I announced that since I had finished up Julep's Birthstone collection I would be showing you guys Lacquer Lust's birthstone collection. Well today I logged into Julep's secret store just to find out that it appears that there is going to be another round of Julep Birthstone Polishes. Well looks like 2015 will be the year of the Birthstones for you guys.

Today I have a polish from A England's new collection. I want to apologize up front for my awful cuticles here. I have since drenched them in cuticle oil. That being said I love this fiery red polish. Great application from A England as always. This is two coats

Deborah Lippmann - 99 Luftballoons

Hey guys,

So a few things first. Merry Christmas to everyone. Or whatever else you're celebrating. I realize I have been majorly slacking on any sort of Christmas nail art but I brought my polish collection to my bestie's house for when I move in and then I pushed my move back a little so I am limited to the polish I have laying around the house. So I apologize
Second: Bowling is the devil. Seriously I broke 3 nails (cinderella hand thank goodness) within the first 20 minutes. I won't lie it kind of ruined the rest of the game for me. This can't be a problem only I have right?

Today I have a fun polish to show you guys and if you can walk away without having the song stuck in your head you are a greater man than me. If you have no clue what I'm talking about click here.

Well this was actually a Sephora Beauty Insider gift. I tend to hoard my points I have no clue why but I do, anyways this was totally worth 100 points (it's a DL Mini) This is a red jelly version of Candy Shop or Forget You.
This was three coats.

Julep - Neely

Hey guys,

So tonight I finished all my Christmas shopping! I'm fairly stoked about that. Now just to wrap. Bleh I hate wrapping. I always have great intentions then slowly it just devolves into everything looking like a five year old wrapped it.
Oh also for those wondering my birthday is on the 25th.

Today I have the second polish from the Reindeer Games set, this is s red cranberry glitter topper. I quite like this one. This is one coat over the other polish Nic.

(Over Julep - Nic)

Julep - Nic

Hey guys,

So Christmas lights are up, tree is up, stockings are up. Almost all the gifts are bought. Yet still so much to do. My birthday is almost here!

This is a polish that came as part of one of Julep's Christmas sets. It was this and a red glitter I will show you later this week, in a set named Reindeer Games. This is a deep burgundy wine colour that has a jelly quality I love these types of vampy polishes. This was two coats.

November Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

 

So remember how last month I talked about how long it took for my box to get to me. Well this month was the exact opposite, I usually get my Julep boxes about mid month but this month my box arrived within days of me getting the shipping confirmation. All in all I was super impressed! If Julep is turning over a new leaf with their shipping department then I know a LOT of people will be happy.

 

I loved this month's box such great colours.

Nerdist Manicure

Hey guys,

So today's manicure may be a bit obscure for some of you guys but it's very near and dear to my heart. So The Nerdist is a website/podcast network/way of life. That has personally been a life saver for me. It all started last year when Dad got sick, I found it really hard to listen to music while I worked since well when things turn upside down it seems that every song you listen to was written to make you cry.
So I turned to something I had long meant to check out, The Nerdist Podcast. And well some days it was all that kept me going. Since then I've become a faithful listener. If you have a nerdy bone in your body I highly recommend it.

So this one is for them.
