Julep swatch and review

I picked three random Julep polishes from my collection to show you today. All Julep polishes are "4 free".

ALYSON is an almond creme. Nice appropriate work neutral shade. Nothing spectacular colour wise. Application was a bit tricky with this formula. It didn't self level on its own, and tended to leave lines where the polish was applied. Top coat did help but not completely. Photos are three coats with top coat.

ALICE is a lavender shimmer. I feel it leans a bit to a frost polish as well. The shimmer is very subtle. Formula wise, this was great. Full coverage in two coats and no streaking or leveling issues to report. Photos are two coats with top coat.

LILY is described as a hot fuchsia creme, however this was more crelly for me. I've included a bottle shot, because it actually looks like some of the pigment is separating. Even after a good shake, rattle, and roll, there was no change. I think this is why the formula isn't as described. Dried slightly matte. Still like the colour. I did end up with a few bubbles on one nail. Photos are three coats with top coat.

As I am sure you all know, Julep is a monthly subscription service. Available in the US and Canada. Sephora also carries a select variety as well.  They also release surprise boxes and sales. If you are interested in becoming a Julep Maven you can sign up here.
Thanks for stopping in today!

Is It Payday Yet?

Today I have Sephora by OPI Is It Payday Yet?  I happened to find this at my local Winners!  Every once in a while I find a nice haul there.

Is It Payday Yet? is a yellow leaning limeish green. Normally shades like this don't work for me, but this one did. It is a bit of a strange colour however, and won't appeal to everyone. Great formula. Full coverage in two coats and leveled on its own really well. Photos are shown with top coat.

This would also be a great polish for using in nail art, I think. For more from this brand, they can be found at the Sephora website, or in store, if you have one locally.

Thanks for having a look. As always, I love to hear from readers, so feel free to comment below!

Quo by Orly Bubble Bath

The Quo by Orly polish is a Shopper's Drug Mart exclusive here in Canada. Most of these polishes are just dupes of Orly polish with a different name. Bubble Bath is the dupe of Peaceful Opposition.

Bubble Bath is a milky white base with matte white squares and hexagons and silver squares and hexagons. Applied nicely in three coats. This would also look great layered! A coat of seche vite smoothed it out.

Thanks again for stopping by. I always appreciate it!
