Manicure of the Week – Julep Lauren and Matte Top Coat

Julep-Lauren-Matte

I wanted something that POPPED for today, so I opted for Lauren from Julep and a simple Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Black Heart for the stamping. I topped it with the Julep Matte Top Coat, which I thought gave it a unique look to it. I normally go for shine, but I really like this combo.

Many of you know my love for Julep. They are a monthly subscription box, and each month you get a few different polishes and/or beauty products. This was the polish line that got me addicted to polish, and I now own over 150 bottles of Juleps. The cost of the box is $19.99, shipping is free for Maven’s, but if you are getting the monthly box, that means you are a Maven. Being a Julep Maven also gives you deep discounts on items in their store, and you aren’t required to take your box every month, you can skip if you want to. You could even cancel if you decide it isn’t for you.

You can order your first Intro Box for only 1¢, plus the cost of shipping! This box then makes you a Maven, and your shipping is free for any orders after that! To get the box for 1¢, you would need to use code “FREEMAVEN” at checkout.

This is an AWESOME month from what I can tell! I can’t wait til my box arrives.
