Who here HASN’T seen a Julep ad on Facebook? Or even one of the sponsored posts that your friends “like”? I kept seeing them and finally in early July I succumbed to the Julep pressure. (The pictures are so pretty!)
I got my first box free with the code FREEBOX. I only paid shipping ($2.99) and I originally went with the one month plan.
The box arrived, and everything was just so cute. It took a couple of weeks before I tried one of the nail colors. I went with the blue. I tried it on a Saturday with no base coat or top coat and as of Wednesday, it was still perfect – not a chip. My normal go-to nail polishes have to be retouched just about once a day. (I’ve even painted them before making my 30-minute drive to work because I knew I could let them dry that way.)
When I first clicked over to their site, they had me do a style profile. They determined my style was the “It Girl” and after looking at the styles, I kind of agreed.
Without thinking another thing about it, my card was charged for the second month. I didn’t check to see what colors were being sent (I was busy, and I really had just forgotten about it.) I felt like the next three colors were a bit of a miss for me. And they’re a little more fall and winter-ish.
I tried the burgundy (Joyce) for a few days and actually really liked it. Then I tried the orange (Kirti) and LOVED it. I haven’t been daring enough to try the green yet.
So apparently, I’m kind of an “It Girl” when it comes to most of their nail colors.
(A couple of days post-application. My nails need more attention. I’m aware of this.)
I’m happy with the actual product. I just need to remember to check the colors before they’re mailed! In fact, I’m so happy with it, that I changed my subscription to the 3-month subscription. This month, I received notice when the boxes were going to be available to preview. You can log in, and check out the colors. If you don’t like all three, you’re able to swap one or all of them out with something else! (I actually switched two colors for this next box.)
I love nail polish. I’ve been experimenting with various colors this year and it’s been really fun. Painting my own nails forces me to take a break. You can’t clean when your nails are wet! And I like doing something that makes me feel a little more girly.
Tell me…have you signed up for a monthly subscription box yet? This was my first one and it’s so much fun!
**This is not a sponsored post. I did receive my first box free, but I wasn’t asked to post a review. The above links are referral links and if you sign up using one of my links, I’ll receive a credit to Julep. All opinions are my own.
You always find the cutest stuff! I am terrible about painting my nails… thinking they are dry and them getting up and ringing them… In fact that is the my nails are right now.
fun!! what does a month cost? I would love to do some monthly club but I don’t even spend anything on myself for those items on a normal basis, how could I justify doing it regularly in a club??
One month is $24.99 and if you do the 3-month subscription it equals to $19.99. I started with the one month and after I loved the second month (two out of three), I called them and switched to the 3-month. I may not do it forever, but right now it’s a lot of fun to try new colors! (And I rarely buy crazy amounts of makeup or other products for myself!)
I need to get in on this. I see all the cool colors that Julep has out and I feel left out that I don’t have any.
I haven’t seen Julep yet, but now I’m intrigued and am keeping eye out! I love the nail polish colors.
I don’t paint my fingernails, but my toes, I do. I usually have a pedicure, but I should use these fun colors and do it myself!
Uh, me… runs away quickly! I had never seen this brand before. I buy nail polish monthly so I may have to look into this. If the colors don’t work for me, I know my girls will wear anything. 😉
I have yet to sign up for a subscription box but I hear so much about them I will have to check them out! I LOVE nail polish, would love to try some new brands like this one!
Who doesn’t love a box full of goodies! I love the nail color you chose!
I heart Julep’s boxes! The colors are always fantastic and last month I got a wand!
I love Julep. I’ve been getting their nail polish sent to my house since January. It’s my favorite subscription box.
I love nailpolish, but I’m not very good at putting it on myself. Those colors look fab!
Love Julep! Got some of the polish in my ipsy bad one month. Sweet T likes it too. 😉
i haven’t tried julep, but totally would. several friends LOVE the brand i just keep forgetting to order some
I love the colors you got in your Julep box! That orange is so pretty.
I should get my girlfriend a subscription for the Julep Box. She’d love it. Now, if I could only find a box full of geeky stuff, we’d both be set!
Oh, this looks like so much fun! I love the nail polish you got! I should forward this to my husband… 😉
This Julep box is great! I love fun boxes like this.
So fun!!! a friend of mine gets these boxes, and I had no idea what it was. She sent me a gift in the box and I wanted to check it out… glad to see this post as I forgot all about it!
I’m an IT girl too! I just got the fall colors in the mail! I think Julep is awesome. I want to get rid of all my polishes and just refill my collection with Julep since I love them so much!
I dont bother painting my nails as all polish tends to flake immediately. I think its something with my nails.
I have been a Julep subscriber for a while now. I absolutely love their service… they always have colors that I love.
I have heard of it. Looks like some nice choices.
I really love the coral nail polish. I have heard many rave reviews about Julep!
I’ve heard so many good things about Julep and love their colors! Unfortunately, I’m not one to do my nails because I fidget and start scraping the polish off.
I have not signed up for a subscription box. But they look like fun to receive.
I am just now hearing/reading about this. I must live under a rock! I love that orange color. I’ll have to check this out.
I have been tempted to sign up multiple times with Julep. However, I have so much nail polish right now that it is quite pathetic. lol
i’m very tempted to sign up. I love nail color
I like the top set better. I like the matte looking finish as opposed to the sparkle. I agree about the second set seeming more fall-ish. I do like the green though. I think that is pretty fun and can’t wait to see how you like it once you try it.
They have the cutest nail polishes! Glad you finally got to try it out
I’ve heard a ton about Julep, but haven’t used it yet. I would definitely love to try it out though. Thanks for sharing.
Love the Julep boxes! Love the colors you got in your box. Love that they give me colors I wouldn’t normally try!
We havent got around to trying Julep yet but everyone i know seems to love it. My friends daughter is addicted.
Those are some pretty colors. They are perfect for fall.
This is the first thing I’ve heard about Julep. Those colors are absolutely adorable though. Perfect for fall!
