I’ll be honest with you. When I first saw the Julep boxes online for August, I wasn’t thrilled with the options. I went ahead and chose the Boho Glam style anyway, as I had a free credit to use. I can’t pass up free polish! Now that I’ve had the chance to use the polishes I received, I am thrilled with my August box! Let me show you what was inside.
I haven’t tried out the nail polish remover yet, but I did get the chance to use the new polish. I thought Piper and Isla would look perfect together, so I decided to a “Carly” manicure inspired by LacqueredLover.com! This style combines at least two different nail polishes in a unified look. I used two coats of each polish. One coat was very sheer, but a second coat achieved opacity. Piper is a metallic green, which I love. It is almost the metallic version of a mint, but a bit darker. Isla is a metallic white. I love the way they are both shiny and frosty. I never thought I’d be so impressed with these polishes! Here’s a cool Instagram photo of my manicure:

Very nice! I’m sad I had to skip this month’s box (what with my crazy polish spending) but I am so getting the September one! That way I’ll be able to rock some awesome new colors back at college!
I’m hoping the September one has their new suede polishes! I’ll definitely be getting it.
really pretty colors!
Thank you!
Super cute! I almost got that box, but got the Classic with a Twist instead. Looking forward to seeing what they come out with for next month! 🙂
I am usually Classic With a Twist, but I already own Alfre, so I had to switch!
I wasn’t as thrilled myself, but I wanted the conditioning polish remover LOL
me too! haha
