Julep swatches- Alicia & Portia

Hey, Everyone.

I'm finally able to upload pictures to my new computer. Yay.
I have a ton of posts to catch up on.

Today I have swatches for Julep's Alicia and Portia.


Alicia- "A sunny salmon, perfect for beach pedicures and fresh, modern manicures."
-Finish: Creme
$14

Portia- "Sheer tropical blue with glittery sparkles that will remind you of a day on the beach."
-Finish: Sparkle topcoat
$14


I love Alicia! I was immediately drawn to this salmony pink color. It reminds me of summer. 
I will say, this was the thickest polish I've ever received from Julep. Creme finishes are typically thick, but this was really thick. It was pretty much opaque with one coat and really shiny without a topcoat. 


Portia is a tropical blue sparkle topcoat. You can use this topcoat on any base color since the blue is very sheer. 
I used this as an accent nail and you can't really see the details, but it's really gorgeous in person. 


One coat. No topcoat.
