Julep Joann extra photos

Here are a few extra photos of Julep Joann from this weekend:). I love this color but used seche for top coat since I got a bottle in the mail from a friend. Hadn't tried it in awhile but remember why I don't care for it. Have the tip shrinkage had it within hours of the polish application:(. Back to Out The Door and Poshe.

I have been bored with my straight flat ironed hair or wavy not totally curly natural hair. Hit pinterest for ideas but didn't have much time to get to fancy. I ended up just using two size curling irons and some hair spray. I started with my natural wavy hair that I applied Hair Crack and some Josie Maran Aragon oil to when I washed it. Had fun with the curls. Wore them last night to Cirque du Soleil and today to daughter's cheer competition. Sorry for photos with no makeup didn't have time lol. Wanted to post to share the look because I enjoyed the difference was fun for a couple days:).

Enjoy photos and will be posting some Julep and OPI swatches this week. Also have OPI Nicole Modern Family and Selena Gomez polishes. Looking forward to swatching some of these. Got some oldie but goodies and newbies for everyone. Working in better photos learning my new camera and editing.

Tried to show some photos from today to show tips worn from seche shrinkage and some more in better lighting:). Have a great week.

Date night manicure and v-day swatching:)

I was trying to pick a color for date night tonight and also looking to find a pretty pink or red for valentine's day.

From thumb to pinky I swatched Julep Joan, pointer finger is the disappointing matte drying "so called" holo silver from Julep Rebel, then Julep Rose from my mystery box, please excuse the bubble had cotton on finger nail still but was swatching quick and then ring finger is OPI DS Reserve and pinky is Julep Petra.

My favorites were of course OPI Reserve, Julep's Joann and Petra:). The Rebel holo looked very flat maybe with a top coat it would shine but wasn't like any of my other holo polishes. Julep Rose is pretty but like shimmery shades right now:).

I decided to go with Julep Joann let hubby pick and he said eithe Joann or Petra were his two favorites:). May use the OPI next. Julep polish usually chips on me with a day or two. I decided to try Seche top coat forgot how awful it smells very toxic fumes. Will see if my opinion changes at all. Wanted to try the julep poly topcoat but didn't have time for polish to dry then top coat to dry needed quick very busy today:).

Enjoy photos let me know what you think or like:).

Happy Saturday
