The Radiant Joy

The Radiant Joy

It's the second week! For this week I picked a lovely mauve color by Julep named Joy. 

Mauve is described as a moderate purple, violet, or lilac color, and I think that Joy fits the bill for being compatible with the Radiant Orchid and purple theme for the year.
Want to purchase a bottle of this for your own polish stash? Unfortunately it isn't sold by Julep anymore, but you can still get a bottle from QVC!


 If you don't know about Julep, you should check t out! I'm addicted. Once a month I get to choose a box of goodies that are then mailed directly to my home. Yes, you have to pay to sign up, but each month thereafter you can choose to purchase the box, decline the box, or send it to someone else. If you become a Maven you also get special discounted prices and are invited to special sales events. If you are interested, check out julep.com. (tip: sign up for the emails but wait until they are offering the boxes at super low prices!) Here is a preview of what I got in my last month's box. I can't wait to use some of these colors on the blog!

In each box that you receive you also get some freebies. This time I got a set of nail buffers. If you are really brave you can even choose to get mystery boxes with tons of great products in them! Feel free to use this referral code if you'd like to sign up.


Don't want to become a Maven but still want Julep products? You can shop for Julep products at QVC or Sephora. 

If you have a favorite polish or shade of purple that you love, let me know! I will try to get my hands on a bottle and feature the colors you love! Or have you used a great color on your nails? Take a picture and I'll post it for others to envy!

Be Radiant!

    So, I can probably just look on the site instead of being lazy, but are the Julep boxes just nail polish oriented? Ash

      Hi! Hi!
      The boxes main purpose is Polish and nail care, but Julep is always coming out with new beauty products. For example, one month I got a DD cream and concealer. Another month I got eyeliner. In a mystery box I got waterless shampoo. In fact, one of the lip glosses I got is one of my favorites. But yes, it is mainly about the polish and nail care. The new product this month was a cuticle remover and cuticle tool.

The Radiant Phia

The Radiant Phia Hi Everyone! Julep has done it for me again. This week's color is a great shimmering purple! Phia is described as an "alluring orchid iridescent chrome" (there's that orchid theme again, yay!) is an amazing polish.  Because of the chrome-like effect of this polish, it makes it last even longer. Its almost as long lasting as your toughest glitter polish! What's even better is that it dried really quick too and was perfect even with two thin coats of color. Another win for Julep, my nails, and my time!! However, my favorite part of this polish is the fact that it has a slight green shimmer to it when you put it into the light. So pretty! So shiny! and So sophisticated too! If you want to get a bottle of Phia just check out  Julep's Website ! Sometimes you can even find the polish at your local Sephora or on QVC. If you have painted your nails with a great color, show them off! I would love to share your n

Keep That Callus

Keep That Callus First off, a callus is a thickened and hardened part of the skin or soft tissue, esp. in an area that has been subjected to friction. In regards to nail technology, most calluses that are seen in the salon are found on the bottoms of the heels, and sides of the feet and toes. Many common calluses are also found on pressure points on the bottoms of the feet. I always get  them on the backs and edges of my heels.  Sometimes, we notice that calluses cause us agitation or pain, and thus we wish to reduce them.  Have you ever gone into a discount nail salon and seen one of these tools used on your feet? At some nail salons, your pedicurist might offer to shave your calluses with a credo blade (that handheld device that looks like a cross between a razor and a vegetable peeler seen above). But, however tempting the allure of callus-free feet may be, I suggest you turn down the offer immediately! You see, in most states, having a pedicurist shave your calluse
