My Julep October “It Girl ” Maven Box

Nothing says “Hello October!” like opening the mailbox and seeing my October Julep Mavel Box just waiting to be opened and explored.

Julep is a nail polish brand that offers a monthly subscription program called Julep Maven. Here’s the deal:

1. Take the style quiz
2. Find out which Julep Maven brand fits your personality
3. Choose your favorite brand
4. Sign up for your first box for just a PENNY (Just enter code PENNY at checkout.)
5. Receive your first box with $40 worth of colors and goodies picked just for you.
6. Julep will email you when the next month’s colors are ready to ship and you can choose from the following:

• Do nothing and receive the next month’s selection for the brand that you chose for the 1st month.
• Check out the other Julep brand colors and pick a different brand for the second month.
• Send your box to a friend.
• Cancel and pay nothing more.

And, if you’re lucky like me, you might even get a coupon for a FREE extra polish in your first month’s box.

This is what I received from my “It Girl” October box:

• Glenda: Radiant silver metallic crackle
• Leslie: Black and silver specked shimmer
• Caroline: Darkest burgundy shimmer
• Dark orange glitter
• Black glitter

I’m not a huge fan of crackle, so I decided to try that later. Instead,  I used a couple coats of Caroline on all my nails except my ring fingers which got Leslie. While the polish was still wet, I dipped the tip of each nail into the glitter pot, wich gave each nail a sparkly reverse french manicure look. You can’t see it all that well in this picture, but I think it came out pretty good.

Here’s a picture from the Julep blog that shows what the colors look like with the crackle polish.

So… have you tried Julep yet? What’s your Julep type?
