Janel ~ is a frost finish nail polish (from the Bombshell line).

Dakota ~ is a chrome finish nail polish (from the American Beauty line).

Sally ~ (repeat for me) creme finish nail polish (from the American Beauty line).

My other items consisted of a super course file (perfect for toes)

March Julep Maven “Turn on the Brights”

“Life is about using the whole box of crayons” ~ RuPaul

The April polishes are all bright and vibrant shades. So not me. I nearly passed on this month’s Maven box altogether.  What did strike my curiosity were the products included in the new “Modern Beauty” style profile (perfect for those who want to skip the polish and try products instead).  The April “Modern Beauty” box included two new Julep products: the Mighty Nail & Cuticle Serum and the Dry Clean Invisible Dry Shampoo.

Dry Clean Invisible Dry Shampoo ~ A “lightweight spray-on powder that absorbs oil, adds body, and leaves no residue.”

Mighty Nail & Cuticle Serum ~ ‘transform dry and damaged cuticles overnight and to give visibly stronger, smoother nails with fewer ridges and less splitting and brittleness in only 2-3 weeks.’  The formula is filled with “peptides–super-charged amino acids that build keratin (for your nails) and collagen (for your cuticles).”  The directions suggest applying the serum twice a day for the first two weeks of use, then once a week afterward.  Conveniently, it can be applied on bare or polishes nails.

ADD ON:  Rock Candy Nail Glaze: Candy, a dark deep purple. My favorite color! 🙂

BONUS: Rock Candy. 🙂 🙂

Julep offered the Spring Mystery Box for $24.99, $5 more than usual. They guaranteed $70-$200 worth of product and a mystery polish! Plus, one lucky girl received diamond earrings! That girl was not me.

Once again I found myself being a sucker for a mystery box. With Julep though, you can’t go wrong!
