This week was midterms, which were pretty brutal. I was pretty happy to find that an order I made "just because I had a coupon" arrived probably on the day I needed it most. Sometimes life is sweet like that.
I ordered Julie (the sparkly pink October Birthstone) and Ava, a frosted pink with a hint of shimmer.
How stunning is Julie?
I found doing 1 mani took about 1/5th of the bottle which is disappointing. I used Jules as a base and then did two or three coats of Julie depending on the nail. she gives a beautiful almost foil dipped effect with all the differently sized and shaped glitters. For everyday wear I found her pretty annoying as she snagged on things. A top coat really helped on day two. I think Julie (named after the ever so graceful Julie Andrews, aka Mary Poppins aka Queen Clarice Renaldi of Genova ... <3 aka the Queen in Shrek...) is the prefect special occasion shade!
I finally found a use for the Julep cat stickers I ordered! I found the cat to look pretty sweet as an accent nail on Ava. Ava is more baby pink than frosted, with a subtle shimmer. This was a back up bottle for me-- one of my all time favourite Julep shades!
What was your latest "just because" gift?
