My Spring Julep Mystery box

This is a little late, but I figured I'd go ahead and post it since I had the picture uploaded.

My Spring Julep Mystery box in all it's glory.

I can NOT resist these things. You pay $19.99 and get at least $60 worth of goodies. The only downfall with these boxes is you're at risk for receiving dupes. *If you're a Julep Maven*

I have received a few dupes. I'm starting to think I should skip my monthly boxes and just go for the Mystery boxes. ;) 

I got Alicia (dupe), Heather, and Melissa.

I got another topcoat and another cuticle oil.

So, I really only got two new polishes. Meh.

But I do love Alicia and go through the topcoat quite fast.

I really am considering just skipping my monthly boxes though....I keep telling myself that. Ha.

Next month, I will next month. ;-P

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.
