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.

Orly Cuticle Oil

I purchased Orly's Cuticle Oil on Amazon thinking that I was getting the full sized bottle. I received the package last night and was a bit disappointed to find that what I purchased was a 1 oz. bottle of Orly Smart Gels Cuticle Oil. Luckily I only spent $5 for it and I actually really like this oil! This oil is very think, almost like a gel but absorbs wonderfully. My favorite part is that it has a fruity scent (Watermelon?) which is much more pleasant than the lavender scented Julep Cuticle oil I have been using. The downside...this is yet another oil that doesn't provide enough moisture to keep my cuticles soft and looking healthy. Living in Colorado has really done a number on my skin and I am finding that I need products that not only moisturize but hold the moisture in.

Salon Perfect Loopy Lime and Kaboom FAIL

Before I start I have to say that in general I can fit most nail polishes into two categories: Good Polish or Great Polish. I have only one ran into a polish I couldn't stand (Floss Gloss) but I have now added Salon Perfect to that list. I have been craving neon nails for the last few days. In particular I really wanted to try China Glaze's Neon Summer Collection but I just couldn't justify spending $35 all at once for the polish. So instead I went out and purchased Salon Perfects Loopy Lime and Kaboom (I've been wanting to purchase Ninja Polish Floam for some time but can never find it) I purchased Salon Perfect Loopy Lime thinking I was getting a neon green creme polish. It wasn't till I got home from the store that I discovered this polish had white shimmer that had settled to the bottom. When I mean settled, I mean SETTLED! It took me a good ten minutes of hard shaking to get the polish MOSTLY mixed back together and as soon as you put the polish down i

Julep Diamond Theory

Finish: Glitter Color: full-coverage multidimensional copper glitter. Dupe: ? This polish came in my February Maven Box. I'm not a huge fan of the color, to me this polish looks bronze rather than copper. That being said I love that there are different sizes of glitter in this polish which provides almost complete coverage in just one coat. This probably won't be a go to color for me but may end up as a gift or for special occasions only.
