It Girl:)

Holy Moly, can you believe Thanksgiving is OVER already... Sorry about being MIA for the past couple of days, I have been nursing a nasty Respiratory Infection, that is slowly migrating north and  turning into a sinus infection:(   But I was able to get a couple of Swatches done yesterday, and I couldn't wait to show you:)

First up is Julep Diane, this polish is described as a Dark forest green crème by Julep and that is a spot on summation.  But I think Diane is sooo much more!!!  This polish in indirect light looks black but warmer. It is not as harsh as classic black do does have that same wow look, without coming off as emo.  I have on 2 coats of Diane and how beautiful is she!!!!

 Next up is Leslie, a dark charcoal grey with silver micro flakes.  This polish is beautiful and has a perfect formula:) As beautiful as this polish is it just really isn't my style, I wish this polish was like a super light gray with the same shimmer and I would be all over it!!!

 I think it is because I have seen so many versions of this color lately.  I am wearing 2 coats of Leslie followed by a coat of SV.  I do think this polish would look awesome with some silver stamping overtop of it (I'll see if I can get that done this week) :) Maybe I just need to lighten it up a tad:) 

Last but not least, is my favorite Rachel. This beauty is a rich copper shimmer, with just a hint of micro holo glitters in the sun:) I ♥♥♥ this color, a perfect fall shade.  This polish is very easy to wear, even if you aren't ready to step out and wear wild colors.  It has just enough Red in it to make it a traditional color.

I Love to wear bright, rock your socks off color, but this is a great relaxing color that will still demand your attention:) I am wearing 2 coats of Rachel with a coat of SV and I and in ♥:)

Okay so now you wanna know how you get your hands on these great polishes:) Well you have options:) 1. You can sign you to become a Maven, for $20 a month you have access to the newest polish colors by Julep, you also can skip a month without explanation, and you can send to a friend, you are always guaranteed $40 worth of products each month.  You also get special pricing on merchandise and first access to sales and new products:)   or  2.  You can go to Julep.com and order the polishes:) but don't forget to put in the coupon code VIP20 to recieve 20% off you purchase of $20 or more:)

Underwater Disco

 I have really got on an Indie kick lately, but when I get to look at goodies like this one from Jindie Nails can you blame me:)  I wanted something super fun and bright this weekend because yesterday it was 85 here:) but today it was like 60, Cloudy and Windy:(

So this super fun Polish is Underwater Disco by Jindie Nails, I layered it over Julep Claire.  Underwater Disco is a water themed polish, duh!!!! but I Love the water, I guess it is a side effect of being raised in Eastern NC and hour away from the beach:) 

Underwater Disco is a party of blue, green, silver, holo, matte, large, small, and micro glitter. NO fishing required:) This isn't a fast dryer but a coat of SV can take care of that:) and consistency is excellent!!!!

Just take a look at this glitter goodness!!!! I Love the combination here with the bright blue and all the different greens, blues and silver.  Now the base color I used is one of my favorite polishes ever, the brightness and creamy finish of Julep Claire :) below is 2 coats followed by a coat of HK Girl:)  I Got this gem in my Julep Maven Intro Box:) If you aren't a Maven yet you can Sign up here:) Enter code INTROMAVEN at check out to get your intro box for 1 penny!!!

So I hope you liked my super bright and fun Mani I know I did:) If you wanna grab Underwater Disco you can get it at Jindie Nails Etsy Store, and make sure you head over to her Facebook page to catch all the sales:)

Dots make the world go round:)

So for this week's Pin it Thursday I used two colors I got in my Julep Maven It Girl Intro Box.  I used Julep Blake and Claire for this design and used Sinful Colors White On for an accent.  Here is the original Pin. 

 

I was Super surprised by Claire,  in the bottle she looks like a muted light blue, but once I put her on she just POPPED!!!! I added Blake on top with my large dotting tool(had to do 2 coats of the dots to get complete coverage). Then I added the white dots with my small dotting tool.

 

I ♥♥♥ the way this turned out!!!! and I was even more surprised that my hand was steady enough to not screw up the dots!!! Even on my Right Hand:)

 

You can sign up to be a maven HERE:) Get your intro box for just .01 by using the promo code MAVENINTRO:)

I fell in ♥ with Otte a Rich Camel Creme.  This Polish Loves, is a one coat wonder:) and such a great neutral fall color:)I can't wait to try this as a stamping polish over fall's purples, red, and greens:)

Next is Delaunay, this is described as a Chili Pepper Red Creme on the Julep website and they Nailed it!!!!  This is a perfect Chili Pepper Red, and a one coat wonder:) another polish I can stamp with:) This poilsh has cool undertones which look fabulous with my skin:)

Finally is Alma:) A Retro Dijon Yellow Creme... well this polish I am not to impressed with:(  The formula is a little thin with this color and it definitely took 2 coats.  This polish reminds me of the old school appliances that came in yellow and O D green...  Not to mention that it look horrible with my skin tone.

Maven Intro Box Classic with a Twist 

Julep Rose

 Guess what guys??? I have a giveaway for you:) sponsored by Julep!!!!  So this weekend I got the Classic with a twist Julep Maven intro box, this beauty came with Julep "Rose", Julep "Robin" and the Best Pedi Creme EVER! (and it truly is).  I tried Julep Robin out first and I ♥ it:) I love teal colors and this reminds me on one of my favs China Glaze " For Audrey" but Robin has a slightly bluer tint, just like a robins egg!!!  Next I tried out Julep "Rose"  this pink/red color is gorgeous and goes on like a charm, but it does have a slight orange under tone to it that doesn't look all that fab with my skin tone. Both colors needed 2 coats for full opacity, but then again how many polish don't;) Now for the Best Pedi Creme EVER this stuff is awesome!!!! This stuff not only works but smells great! like tea, mint, cucumber, and chamomile all wrapped up in perfection!!!!
