Forever 21 Mint Chip


This is another attempt to duplicate a Deborah Lippmann polish that I fell in love with. Forever 21's polish is affordable at only $2.80. It took three coats to completely cover my nails which isn't great but I love the finish, and for under $3.00 this polish is totally worth it.

Julep Nail Polish

Julep's Website Hands down my favorite nail polish right now is Julep. I don't know how they do it but their formula is to die for. For many of their polishes I'm able to achieve full coverage with one coat and a perfectly smooth finish with a second coat. Add their Polymer Top Coat to that and you have nail perfection! I'm what I consider cheap when it comes to nail polish so I just can't justify spending $14 per bottle. Especially now as I am still growing my collection and am wanting to try everything. I did however subscribe to their monthly subscription service which, according to their website, gives you $40 worth of Julep products every month for only $19.99.  Every month Julep allows you to preview each of their boxes and choose which one you would like to receive. You can skip if you don't see anything you like. As a Julep Maven you also receive access to their "Secret Shop" which offers products only available to Mavens and...

Julep Mighty Nail & Cuticle Serum

For the first time I am truly disappointed by a Julep product. After years of having short, brittle, paper thin nails I decided to do everything possible to grow my nails and improve their health. I purchased Julep's Mighty Nail and Cuticle Serum back in January and have used it religiously every day, twice a day as instructed. Today I finally ran out, took one look at my nails and realized...that was totally not worth it. My nails are no longer, healthier, stronger than when I started.  When I purchased the product I was expecting either a think cuticle cream or cuticle oil. In reality the product is very thin. This does help the product to soak in very quickly and does not leave behind any residue but doesn't seem to do much.  Living in "The Mile High City" we deal with very, very dry air so I'm chalking this product failure up to just needing something with more moisturizers.

Julep Essential Cuticle Oil

I have mixed feelings about this product... I love the convenient size of the bottle. I have these stashed at my desk, in my purse, and in my polish tool box.  The oil has a very herbal scent which i'm not a fan of (I much prefer Solar Oil's almond oil scent) but it's livable.  The oil does a decent job of keeping my cuticles moisturized but to be honest I don't really have problem cuticles. I have not noticed any improvement in my nails though, they are still as dry and brittle as ever.  The thing that bugs me the most about this product though is the roller ball. Most of the time it doesn't dispense enough product so I find myself rolling the ball over, and over, and over my cuticles. For me this is slightly uncomfortable - I would much rather massage the oil in myself. I plan on using the bottles that I have up but I don't think I'll be purchasing this oil again.
