Fifty-Two Weeks

Marsala and Evelyn OOPS! I skipped a week! But no worries - here is the color of the week for March 8th-14th. I absolutely LOVE this color! Evelyn is a gorgeous name, as well as a beautiful nail polish color! It is most definitely going down in the books as a new fave for the Marsala theme for the year. Really, I think I just like it next to my skin tone.   The bright pop of color needed two coats of color - but they dried moderately well! I also finished off my nails with the Julep Freedom Polymer top coat - LOVE.  (If you haven't tried it yet, you should!) By adding the Freedom Polymer top coat, I also increased my drying time. Freedom Polymer claims to leave you with dry nails in 5 minutes, and it does its job! I highly recommend this color for Work and for Play! Julep's Evelyn polish looks great with all sorts of outfits. If you want to purchase your own bottle of Evelyn,  check out  Julep.com . You can also purchase select bottles ...

Radiant Orchid Rae Hi Everyone! We have almost completed out the year! First off, I hope everyone's Christmas and Holiday's have been great. Also, I hope you are all safe in your travels, wherever they may take you! I thought this Julep polish would be a good color to help us wrap up the year. Rae is Julep's nail polish that celebrates Pantone's color of the year, Radiant Orchid. It does an absolutely perfect job! Rae is the color that is the exact match to Pantone's color swatch. Rae went on smooth and radiant, just like I had hoped! It took a bit of time to dry though...but when it was paired with Julep's amazing Freedom Polymer topcoat it was a manicure from the gods! It looked amazing and sophisticated. To enjoy this beautiful classic with a twist color, check out Julep.com , your local Sephora, or even QVC.  Have a radiant color to share? Show them off here! I would love to post about your nails on the blog! Be Radiant! A...

Radiant Beverly Thanksgiving Nails I am slowly but surely catching back up to myself and am pleased to show you my nails for this past Thanksgiving week! Described as a "Boysenberry Creme" polish, Beverly is a lovely and sophisticated Julep nail polish. I love this color and it was the perfect purplish color for the Thanksgiving holiday.  I was a little worried when I put the first coat on that the color would be a bit streaky, but I found out very quickly that after I put on the second coat the color leveled itself right out! It's a new favorite of mine for sure!  You could wear a color like this one to almost any function coming up this holiday season (as long as your attire matches of course) because it really is a lovely holiday purple while also being fun, festive and still sophisticated and lady-like. This color dried moderately fast - not as fast I would have liked. However, if I has paired this color with Julep's Freedom Polymer Top ...

The Radiant Trina Hi Everyone! I am excited for this week's color! Not only is it another Julep polish, Trina  was given to me by my best friend Meg!! Described as a "deep aubergine shimmer" Trina really is a deep purple. If it weren't for a little streaking, I could have gotten away with only one coat.  By the way, without googling it, does anyone know what "aubergine" is? I just learned a few weeks ago by watching a cooking show with my mom. Comment below if you know! The first coat of Trina dried kinda quickly, but the second coat took a bit longer than I would have liked.  But that's ok! I used my Freedom Polymer top coat to seal up my nails and help them on their last leg of the dry. So my nails got dry quicker and now they are super shy and feel like I have gel polish on! If you are interested in getting Trina  or the Freedom Polymer , check out Julep.com ! Also, of you have used any great colors lately, share t...

The Radiant Anne Hello Everyone! I am so excited to show you guys this week's color! This week's color is a lovely purple color by Julep named Anne.  This color is so fun! I enjoyed wearing it over the weekend and got a bunch of complements. The creme polish color went on like a charm; I almost didn't even need a second coat.  For my top coat, I used one of my favorite products out there right now - the Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat. It goes on like polish, has a gel like finish, and dries completely within five minutes under your regular house lamp. If you like gel polish, but don't like the cost, try this product! It will change your life. For Real.  Want to grab some of these great polish products? Head on over to  Julep.com  and purchase them, or just go on ahead and become a maven! Have you used any fun colors lately? Let me know! I would love to feature them on the blog! Be Radiant! Amanda
