Gray* Julep Meryl and Pink* (old)
When I saw that Julep was having an amazing deal where you could sign up to be a Julep Maven and only pay $1 for your first month, I pounced! I took their style quiz and got matched with the style “Classic with a Twist,” which I think is fitting. Only two days after signing up, I got my first box in the mail! Inside were two pretty nail polishes (a super fun sparkly gold color and a wonderful cool gray) along with a small can of Topcoat for Hair and a yummy piece of chocolate.
Of course, I had to try out my new colors right away, so I used the gray from my Julep Maven box and a pink polish I picked up a long time ago to create the polka dot design on my nails. I used a bobby pin to make the polka dots and I’m pretty happy with how clean the dots came out. However, I don’t love this pink with the gray, so I would definitely try a different color combination next time. Also, I think it looks better when there are fewer dots spaced out- I think my ring finger above is a good example.
Tell me: Would you sport polka dots on your nails?

I’m mixing up the genres this month because I feel like I burned out on holiday romances last year 😅 Have you read any of these?

YES YES YES you did such a great job with the dots! They look 100% professional. I couldn’t paint someone else’s nails that great let alone my own. Color me impressed.
Agreed, the ring finger looks the best, but you did a really neat job with the bobby pin! Fun package – what’s the hair thingie?
Thanks Smita! The hair thing is called “Topcoat for Hair.” Apparently it’s supposed to “protect and shine hair leaving it with a lustrous sheen and radiance.” So it makes your hair shiny? Haha, I’m not really sure and doubt I’ll ever use it!
This came out awesome! I wish I had gotten chocolate :)
oh i just love your nails they look awesome!!!
