Throwback Thursday: Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle Precious Pearl

I've never done a Throwback Thursday post, but hey, I just happen to be wearing the first nail polish that started this whole nail polish obsession: Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle Precious Pearl. More on that in a bit. This is in outdoor natural light, two coats, topped with Essie Good to Go top coat: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMGEWYVAQRQ/?taken-by=eternaldecember Precious Pearl...

Julep Pam & Julep Alysha

I've got swatches for two Julep August 2016 colors today, Julep Pam and Julep Alysha! These photos show two coats, topped with Essie Good to Go top coat, in outdoor natural light. https://www.instagram.com/p/BI_qIETgFiw/?taken-by=eternaldecember   https://www.instagram.com/p/BI_qPMuglB5/?taken-by=eternaldecember   Pam is a somewhat frosty, somewhat metallic orange-soda orange with holographic shimmer. The frosty finish shows brushstrokes a bit, but it's...

Julep Aubrey

Julep Aubrey is a color from September's It Girl Maven box, labeled as a "[r]osewood shimmer." The color's hard to describe, but if I were to give it a shot, I'd say it looks like a dusty, rose-leaning deep grape to me; a little too purple for a rosewood color, at least to my eye. The finish is...

Julep July 2015 It Girl swatches: Juliana, Alyssa & Mara

I was so enamored with the color combination in this month's Julep Maven It Girl box that I decided to swatch them together as skittles. (Well, that, and it's so hard to find time to paint nails with a newborn - thank goodness for a helpful husband and family!) Here's two coats Julep Juliana on...

Julep Ava & Revlon Transforming Effects Nude Graffiti

I'm not normally a huge fan of pale pink, but Julep Ava was sitting untried in my stash (I'd gotten it for free with one of my Maven monthly boxes at some point), and I thought it'd go well with Revlon Nude Graffiti, one of the Transforming Effects top coats just released this year. I...

Julep Zora

I'm not usually a "work-appropriate" colors kind of girl - there's just usually something flashier that catches my eye more - but somehow the mood struck me this week. For whatever reason, I was excited about Julep Fifi ("[t]ea time pink crème") when it was announced as one of this month's limited-edition colors. Something about that pale, cool,...

Revlon Parfumerie Wintermint & Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mint Sorbet with Julep Gloria

I'd bought Revlon Parfumerie Wintermint sometime ago and never gotten around to wearing it. Good thing I met up with my sister over the weekend, and she was wearing Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream, which reminded me to do that. In fact, for fun, I decided to duplicate her nails, except with similar polishes that I had...
