Happy Monday Darlings!
It's officially July, and In a couple of days, we'll be celebrating 4th of July!!! America's Independence day!
Whoop whoop!
Anyhoo, Since I'm a Julep Maven, I was pretty excited about July's box, so I chose not to skip.
My box came last week and I was really impressed with the polish called America.
My box is the IT GIRL box, so I had three polishes in there. America was an added bonus this month in honor of 4th of July. :-)
So, let's get to it sugars.
Here are the goodies in my box. Those fire ball candy or whatever they are called, are HOT!! I love spicy food, but goodness, these were way too spicy for me.
Here's how Nicely the polishes were wrapped before I tore it up. Lol...

America and Kate begged to be USED for a fourth of July mani, So I came up with something really quickly.
I Used Kate as a base on all my nails. Then I put America on all of them. As a gradient, and then as a full mani on my ring finger.
For this picture, I held the papers that were put in the Julep box. :-)
America would have gotten opaque on its own I'm sure, but since I already had a white base, I just layered America on it for my ring finger.
Overall, I love how well these polishes work together!
So appropriate for 4th of July.
Kate Got opaque in three thin coats,
America is a bit on the thick side, but it was "workable". Two stars came out in America while I used it and I was pleasantly surprised!! If you look closely on my ring finger, you'll see the stars, at the top and bottom of my nails. :-D
I love this mani and I say a big HIP HIP HIP to The U.S of A!!!

Well peoples, That's it for today.
Are you getting your 4th of July Manis ready??

This is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI got the IT Girl box this month too- I only just signed up for the Maven program like a week ago (because of this box!), but I was able to get them to make July my first billed month after the Intro box, instead of August.
ReplyDeleteLOVE them! Mila only takes 2 coats to be opaque and is super beautiful. I also ordered addons on Chelsea (the purple glitter one) and the magenta sparkly one. Those 2 were shipped seperately though, so I'm betting they'll get here today.
If Julep keeps up stuff like this, I may actually get buying their boxes :)
I didn't get any add ones. I'm pretty impressed with this month box too. Indeed if they keep up like this, I'll be a happy Maven. :-)
DeleteGorgeous, Lizzy! I think what I like most about America is that it's predominantly red glitter. Love the surprise stars! Star glitter makes me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the glitter at the tips! Very pretty and perfect for the holiday =)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. :-)
ReplyDeletelove the glitter tips. I haven't had those candies in years!!!
