Julep orange shades

With Halloween and autumn here, I thought I would swatch some orange shades to help you find what you might be looking for! I know I constantly sit down and start thinking about what the right shade would be for a particular design. Today I am starting with three Julep shades for you.

Hayden is described as a neon peach creme. This definitely leans orange to me. Maybe it's just my skin tone. I have used two coats plus top coat. As it's a neon it does dry to a matte finish. Applies nicely, but as you can see, my polish has some areas that the pigments won't mix together any longer. Unfortunately this is visable on the nail. Yes! I did shake, rattle, and roll! Nothin'.

Kaylen is a bright/neon orange crelly. Officially they call this a creme, but no, it isn't. Dries matte, so you'll need a shiny top coat. I have used three coats and still have vnl. Not so noticeable in the pics, but it definitely is in person. My brush in this was wonky, it looks like it has swelled up, making it difficult to apply. Other then that, I like the colour.

Parker is a tangerine creme. Full coverage in two coats, but be careful of pooling at the cuticles. The formula is a bit thin. Photos are with top coat. This is my personal favourite of the three!
