February Julep Maven - It Girl

Hi there!

I received my Maven box this afternoon and I couldn't decided which to play with first...

Julep - Rachel, Oscar, and Elizabeth.

So I played with all of them...

My nails painted with Julep - Rachel.

I painted 2 coats to achieve what's pictured. Rachel applied very smoothly, and I could have gotten away with just 1 thicker coat for opacity.

Rachel with Oscar...

My nails painted with Julep - Rachel and Oscar.

I painted just 1 coat of Oscar over Rachel. I don't typically enjoy glitter polish because of the common hassle when it comes to removal. This glitter, however, wiped off just like a normal polish would. I recommend it based on that!

My camera really dislikes dark polishes on my nails, so please forgive the orange fingers it gave me. Elizabeth is true to color...

My nails painted with Julep - Elizabeth.

I painted 2 coats to achieve what's pictured. Elizabeth is described as a midnight blue- but left with just 1 coat, it can look dark purple.

Elizabeth with Oscar...

I painted 1 coat of Oscar over Elizabeth, and I'm really enjoying this combination!

The last thing that came with my Maven box was this incredibly phallic piece of Oscar chocolate...


... it was delicious :-)

Did you receive a Maven box this month? If so, which one? If you don't have a Maven subscription, and you'd like to join... you can sign up here.

4. Sinful Colors - All About You, 5. Elf - Copper

All of the swatches #1 - #5 are 2 coats except for #4. I used 3 coats. It's a clear-based, fine gold glitter top coat with hints of orangy-red glitter.

6. Cover Girl Nail Slicks - Bronze Ice, 7. 3 Stripes - Nine,
8. China Glaze - Platinum Gold, 9. China Glaze - Passion,
10. Nicole by OPI - The Next CEO

8. China Glaze - Platinum Gold, 9. China Glaze - Passion,
10. Nicole by OPI - The Next CEO

All of the swatches #6 - #10 are 2 coats except for #8 and #9. I only used 1 coat. They are perfect polishes to stamp with.

11. China Glaze - Swing Baby, 12. 3 Stripes - Eight, 13. 3 Stripes - Six,
14. 3 Stripes - Seven, 15. Maybelline Express Finish - Brassy

11. China Glaze - Swing Baby, 12. 3 Stripes - Eight, 13. 3 Stripes - Six,
14. 3 Stripes - Seven, 15. Maybelline Express Finish - Brassy

All of the swatches #11 - #15 are 2 coats. "3 Stripes" isn't a brand - I made those up for identification purposes. Those polishes came from makeup sets that are popular during holiday seasons. #10 and #11 have the same finish. They are very similar in color - #10 leans toward gold and #11 leans toward brown.

16. Elf - Blush, 17. Nicole by OPI - It Starts With Me,
18. Silver Square - One, 19. China Glaze - Delight

16. Elf - Blush, 17. Nicole by OPI - It Starts With Me,
18. Silver Square - One, 19. China Glaze - Delight

All of the swatches #16 - #19 are 2 coats. "Silver Square" is another identification name. #19 is another great polish for stamping. It looks more mauve as a swatch, while in the bottle it looks copper.

I hope you enjoyed this!

Until next time...
