Julep Nail Polish Review - Blake

So I recently learned that Julep was having a sale on their nail polishes (AND free shipping all summer long)! I had to dive in!

I first heard of Julep when I was planning my wedding. I was looking for a place to host a pre-wedding mani/pedi with my bridesmaids and mother-in-law. Julep was having a grand opening in Bellevue AND they were selling $100 gift certificates for $50 at that time so I jumped all over it! We had a fabulous time getting our nails done - Julep is very clean and the chairs are movable so that you can sit closer to all your friends making it more conducive to chatting!

So I love everything about Julep-the nail salon (was very impressed that my French mani/pedi lasted throughout the honeymoon without a chip), the lack of chemicals in their polishes, and the fact that they are local! I had never had the urge to purchase their nail polishes until I saw their new packaging. I love the sleekness of the bottle. It looks sooo chic!

I bought Blake to try out (I had heard that their polishes are very opaque-only needing one coat?!) and was super excited! Blake is described as "Sunny yellow. Creamy and buttery yet fat-free." LOVE it! It's perfect for summer, especially if you have a tan! I've received sooo many compliments from co-workers to complete strangers! It's beautiful - however, it does need 2-3 coats to get it opaque and not streaky. The brush I would liken to Essie's brushes.


To purchase, visit Julep and enter code: GIRLFRIEND for $15 off $30 with free shipping all summer long! $1 will be donated to organizations that support women through their Powered by Girlfriends program for every nail polish sold.
