Hi hi! This is two coats of Julep Sienna topped with two coats of Nyx Girls Gilded Glitter. I love Gilded Glitter. The glitter pieces are all irregularly shaped. It's awesome. Since I'm just wading back into the blogging world, my pictures are going to be unstaged cellphone pics for now. Hence back seat of car, visible foot.
Anyway, Julep is one of the best polish brands I've tried. It is expensive, but the Maven program is affordable and fun. I had to cancel when I moved, because the rent is too damn high! But that's another great thing about Maven. It was so easy to cancel.
Thanks for looking!
Hi hi! This is two coats of Julep Leah (which is a fantastic shimmery grass green) topped with one coat of Essie As Gold As It Gets. I am amazed at the quality of Julep's polishes. They are pricey (unless you are a Julep Maven, like me), but the quality is really great. The color is a bit brighter in real life. I love this gold flake topcoat from Essie's LuxEffects collection. I am excited to try it over other colors. This manicure reminded me of some sort of Asian pottery. Jade with gold leaf or something.

This is two coats of Julep Stella topped with China Glaze CG in the City. I attempted a gradient effect with the glitter polish. I really liked this glitter. Removal was not as bad as it could have been (still glitter polish removal, though!). Looks like sparkly sand. I don't love this yellow color with this manicure. I do like it, but I feel that the glitter tips would have looked fabulous with a darker base polish. Maybe a dark, smoky purple shade. Or even black. To get a better look at the colors in the glitter, click to enlarge!
More pics for you!

Hello! This is Julep Sienna (two coats; absolutely beautiful polish with good application) with Orly Instant Artist Jet Black stripes. Do you love it? 'Cause I do. Does it get classier than gold with tiger stripes? Hell to the no. You know who would love this manicure? Mike Tyson.
I just noticed that my thumb looks very strangely large here. It isn't large.

Hello there! This is one coat of Julep Emilie with dots of Julep Sienna (applied with a dotting tool. Crappily.). I joined the Julep Maven program, and it has been pretty awesome so far. I'm not kidding though. ONE COAT. Amazing.
Here is one in the shade:
Thanks for looking, friends!
