6/14/2013 0 Comments June Julep Box + First Impressions So, as you may know if you watch my videos I haven't got a Julep Box in a while BUT I ended up getting June's box and I'm SOOO glad that I did because the colours are great. Here are swatches of the three colours & my first impressions of them. Also I have a code for a FREE Julep Box if you are new to the program! So check below for that ;) These polishes are part of the Nantucket Nostalgia Collection L-R: Char, Bes & Nan Char: Nautical Navy Blue Crème in natural light (above) & flash (below) Bes: Baby Blue Crème in natural light (above) & flash (below) Nan - Nantucket Red Crème in natural light (above) & flash (below) First Impressions: Char This was the colour that made me consider not skipping the month because I really wanted a navy polish (since I threw out my OPI Yoga-Ta Get This Blue years and years ago -- long before I knew you could restore a gunky polish). But I was a bit disappointed in this polish, I found it to be very thick and gooey which made it difficult to apply. I haven't had this problem with any of my Julep polishes before (that I can recall) so I'm not sure if this is just a fluke so I may contact Julep & inquire about it. It's described as a navy and in these photos it definitely pulls navy but when you see it in person and in the bottle it does pull a bit more purple, looking like ultramarine. But shade wise I LOOOOVE IT! Bes This colour was one reason I was going to pass on because it reminds me of Jessica, another baby blue polish I have from them. I will have to do a side by side comparison but I think that Jessica is bit lighter than this. Bes was a bit streaky after two coats but I think that can be worked on, it wasn't hard to work with so with patiences and maybe another thin coat I can work it out. Nan This colour is also gorgeous but at first I wasn't sure what to expect if it was going to be a lighter coral colour or what it turned out to be, a bit more of a burnt orange/umber. I freaking love it. And it applied so well, so smooth and I'm so impressed. It's a unique colour to my collection and it looks great as a summer colour and something that would look great in fall. I'm glad overall with this months box and I'm looking forward to next months! I have a nautical themed manicure in mind that I can't wait to try out! Now for the good bit ;) I have a code for you lovelies to get you your first Julep Maven box for FREE!
