Julep Maven It Girl Intro Box

I received my Julep Maven intro box for free (just paid $3.99 for shipping) by using a coupon code I saw online.  I had wanted to try this company out for a while but hadn't ever dared.  Finding that coupon code made me take the plunge, and I'm glad I did.  Julep is a nail polish/product company based out of salons in Seattle.  With the Maven program, you take a quiz that puts you into a category: It Girl, Bombshell, Classic with a Twist, Boho Glam, or Modern Beauty (I think that's all of them.) Every month they release a new box for each profile, and you can choose to stay with your regular profile or switch.  The best thing about Julep Maven is that you can skip a month anytime you want.  If you're thinking about joining Julep, please use my referral link: Julep.  Here's what was in my It Girl intro box. 

 Upon opening the box, there is a welcome card as well as a card about my chosen profile, It Girl.  The packaging is super cute.  Inside I found the colors Rebel, Joan, and Marion, as well as a sample of The Best Pedi Creme Ever.

I wasn't really too excited about a silver polish, until I learned that it is a holographic color!  I've wanted to try one of them for so long.  It's really hard to get a good picture of the holographic effect, but it is amazing in person, especially in the sunlight.  It went on great with two coats and dried semi-matte.  It looks great with a top coat.  It stayed on very well and was chip-free for about a week.  Which is amazing.

The next color is Marion.  It is a lovely shimmery dark teal color.  I did a horrible job with this manicure so sorry about that.  It goes on perfect with only one coat.  It stays chip free for a few days.  I am not usually a fan of dark colors on my hands, but I really love this color on my toes.

I haven't tried out Joan yet, but will update this post with pictures when I do.  I'm just getting too far behind and need to make this post already!

One of these nights I will try this product and then let you know how it works.  I'd love to set aside a little mani/pedi night for myself soon.  I've been working hard, I deserve it. ;)
