On to the box, it was nicely wrapped and when I opened it was happy tower the little heart chocolates for valentines day, I am dieting so won't be eating but my daughters loved them:). I also got a travel eye lash curler that I great for my purse or travel bags. Then there is their new top coat the Freedom Polymer/polymere top coat. They claim goes on like a polish, performs like a gel. My daughter loves the gel polish and when I treat her to a manicure when I go for my pedicures she always does the gel which lasts weeks. I think a gel like top coat would be a great invention if it worked. I have not tried this one yet but will my next manicure which should be later today:). My OPi DS I applied last week and posted is just now chipping which is impressive because I didn't apply a top coat. I was sampling colors so I was planning to remove and try another color but I fell in love with this color. I got a ton of compliments on it from people all over. My next swatch will be another OPI DS called Reserve it is a pink shade. The one I'm referring to that didn't chop for a week is the OPI DS Magic which is a blue and purple sparkly amazing color that has a holo like effect:).
Back to Julep lol sorry got off topic. The box had three polishes, this is the box I had picked for me from the test. I haven't changed the box ever cause usually the colors picked from quiz I took are more my style:). It is nice to have the option though. First up is Julep Joan, it is inspired by Joan Crawford and looks like a nice sparkly red:). Can't wait to try. Second is Julep Marion and is inspired by Marion Cotillard. This is a pretty blue with a shimmer. This box remind me of July fourth lol with red, blue and silver:). Last up is the color I was looking forward to trying, have read mixed reviews on Juleps attempt at Holo polish. Some say it isn't that amazing. I love holo polishes, the OPI DS silver is amazing and The hits along with Milani brand have some nice holographic colors. I also have a couple Layla. I have read this dries a little flat but once a good shiny top coat is applied looks amazing. I'm going to try it out and post photos ASAP. I mentioned before I got a new dslr camera, a Nikon and have been learning to use the camera along with editing photos. I have been reading a lot and have a friend who does photography who ha been helping me but breaking down and enrolling in a class here at the adult school ASAP. I want to learn all the tricks then I can post amazing photos that really show how gorgeous some of these polishes and items are:). It is hard to capture with my iPhone and I'm not always the best at getting on my laptop to upload from my Nikon s400. Can't wait because I love taking photos and can't wait to combine one day with my cosmetology license to hopefully do professional photos like the pin up pictures I took awhile ago:). Anyways again off topic lol I do that a lot sorry if I lost you there lol. The holo Julep is called Rebel from my box. I have seen some of the others and want to try them all hope to get a different one in my mystery box:). Julep Rebel is silver and inspired by Rebel Wilson. I promise to have swatches soon. I hav plans to remove my polish tonight and hope to have swatches of these colors along with the DS color:).
That's my Julep box:). My mystery box should be here any day along with new Birchbox for Feb and the Ipsy glam bag:). All have shipped or been billed. I also have some reviews coming for some Butter London pastel spring colors I picked up:). Stay posted and have a great end of the week. Excited one more day till weekend then hubby and I are going to see Cirque Du Soleil Totem in Miami for a pre valentine's day present he got me, also have my oldest daughter's cheer competition then Valentine's day next week.
