tomboy with a nail polish problem | mostly lacquer & unboxings
Slowly catching up on journaling my Instagram posts again... This is Julep Ness and Julep Vibrant Virgo, both polishes that I picked up in my last ever Julep box in February. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2iTp2ZAiMq/ I wish I had tried these polishes earlier because now that I'm writing the post so late after Julep's upheaval early this year,...

I was visiting my sister this past weekend, and we decided to paint our nails together - something we somehow never did as kids (probably because I was a tomboy) but now do as adults because modern nail polish is actually attractive to us. 🙂 While I was over at her place, I borrowed Julep...

This week's polish is Julep Saryn, which I received as an add-on in my last ever Julep box back in February. 😥 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zf6lMAqlh/ Saryn is described by Julep as a "Coral Sunset Iridescent Shimmer" - it's a metallic type of shimmer polish that has a pink flash (iridescent/duochrome effect) from some angles, so it shifts...

It's been a long time since I posted here, so I'm going to try to do some catching up today. Here's Julep Illuminating Leo, a freebie I received for taking three add-ons in my last Julep box. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxUchTgWlh/ Illuminating Leo is described by Julep as a "Zesty Lemon Multidimensional Iridescent—for the bold and confident Leo"...

This is super, super late as I was waylaid by various significant medical surprises this year. I'm recovering now, and I'm more or less okay now, so I count myself lucky. Anyway, onward! According to my notes, my February 2019 monthly Julep Maven box arrived on February 22, following the same pattern of the last... Continue Reading →
If you follow this journal, you're probably aware that I've had some suspicions about Julep's business problems in the last few months, with late deliveries, little response from customer support, and changes to the subscription box that I was not a big fan of. Besides these clues that something was amiss, though, I hadn't actually... Continue Reading →
My Julep December 2018 box was again significantly delayed and didn't get to me until December 19th, which is only one day from selection day for the next month's box. I don't know what's going on, but we didn't receive any explanation this time, and my email queries to customer service went unanswered. 😦 I... Continue Reading →
A palate-cleanser sort of polish this time: Julep Sloan, which Julep describes as an "Icy Primrose Shimmer," from my December 2018 box. I don't remember why I picked this color when I made my subscription box selections last month, but it must have attracted me at the time. Once in a while, I suppose, I... Continue Reading →
The Surreal World duo ($20) is the other Julep holiday set that I ordered as an add-on to my December 2018 Julep box, comprising of: Azalea (Bombshell) – Pink Sunrise Holographic Microglitter A pale pink base loaded with fine holographic particles, nearly opaque in two coats, as in my photo, on the ring finger. Also makes a... Continue Reading →
I'm so behind on blog entries, but hopefully I can catch up soon! This is the Julep Avant Garden trio ($30) that I bought with my December 2018 Julep box, which I received late that month. The three colors are: Bristol (Boho Glam) – Lavender Ice Metallic This color is on my middle finger and is a... Continue Reading →
