Julep Chloe - From the Holiday Collection

Tonight I wanted to bring you another one of my Julep polishes that I received from their Maven Referral Program, this is Chloe!  I don't think I did this polish justice but I'm learning my new camera and still need to put my professional light box up.  Chloe is described as a Charcoal base with a holiday sparkle in a vibrant magenta.  I think I now own their whole Holiday collection for this year.  I used 2 coats of Seche Clear to prevent staining, 2 coats of color and a coat of Seche Vite on top.  The polish was a little thicker than I was use to with Julep, but I was able to adjust my application for it to work out.  I think I will add a little thinner before I use it again.  All the shots below look close to each other, but some were taken in sunlight and some under a lamp.  You can click to enlarge.






I have thoroughly enjoyed the Maven program so far.  If you are interested you can give it a try and get their first box which is over $60 worth of product for $5 by using the Promo Code of FB.  You can always give it a try and if it's not for you then cancel at anytime, do a shelf pull if you don't like the colors they offer in your monthly box, have it sent to a friend as a present or put your subscription on hold for a month.  If you have been on the fence about ordering from them because of their initial start up glitches, now is the time to try it.  Tomorrow I will be bringing you my November Julep Maven Box.  Give yourself the December box as a present to yourself, you are worth $5!  This would also make a great gift for a Secret Santa or the other women in your life.  If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them for you!

    Looks a lot like the WNW Fantasy Makers Purple Potion, don't you think?

    It does Shannon, but this is more of a red glitter than purple like the FM's. But otherwise very close.

Dior Psychedelic Orange Review - Dior Day Blogger Linkup

Image
Hi Everyone! I am back to blogging finally!  Thanks for all your patience through a very rough time in my life.  Back in July 2013, I flew to Las Vegas for Cosmoprof North America.  One of my favorite things to do after the show was to go shopping at The Forums Shops At Caesars .  One of the first shops I went into was Dior, I was hooked immediately.  I did not have any Dior Beauty products so I purchased my first polish, Psychedelic Orange and a lip pencil to match.  Since then, my Dior collection has increased by 2 or 3 more polishes and a Gel Top Coat which I love! I chose today to finally show you this polish because a group of bloggers are linking together for Dior Day Blogger Linkup.  Psychedelic Orange is almost a jellish cream polish.  I used 3 coats above and you can still see a little VNL, but this doesn't bother me one bit.  Even though it didn't need it I did top it with one coat of the Dior Gel Coat, which is my favorite top coat...

Nfu-Oh Aqua Base...Worth it? Necessary?

Image
Tonight I was doing swatches of some holographic polishes that I haven't tried yet. Nfu-Oh's, Essences from Europe and BK's from Hong Kong. And the question that keeps coming up, is the Nfu-Oh Aqua Base really necessary? Isn't there a cheaper easier to access brand available? I've seen this asked more than anything else recently and it even came up in our Nail Polish and Gossip Group on Facebook. I'm going to let you answer this question for yourself, here are pictures I took, all using Nfu-Oh #66 Green Holographic polish. On the first picture, on my thumb, middle and pinky finger, I used the Nfu-Oh Aqua base coat, on the ring and pointer finger I used another well known brand of base coat. This is one coat of polish and I didn't clean up since I was taking it right back off. You can click the pictures to enlarge. I only used one coat, I didn't want to waste any more of this beautiful polish, but you can tell it does not play well with...
