Swatch and Review: Zoya Summer PixieDust Collection

Happy Saturday, lovelies! As I teased last night on Facebook, I received some amazing blogger nail mail yesterday afternoon from Zoya and I immediately went into swatch mode! Despite the rain!

 

Warning: THIS WILL BE PICTURE HEAVY!

DEAL ALERT: 46% off Julie G Frosted Gumdrops

Happy, Friday! A new swatch and review will be up in a little while, but there are some killer deals out there today and here is one of them!

Groupon is currently offering the hard-to-find Julie G Frosted Gumdrops Collection for $12.99, instead of the $23.94 retail value! And considering I haven't found these polishes in a single store near me, this is a STEAL! Note: Shipping costs $2.50, but that's a pretty reasonable shipping price.

How do you get this amazing deal? First off, sign up for Groupon here if you haven't already. Then go to the Julie G Sale Page to purchase your collection!

So what are you waiting for? Go get your gumdrop on!

Birthday Floral Nails

Happy Hump Day! The week is halfway over... don't stress yourself too much!

Today's manicure is actually my birthday nails. I painted them late Wednesday night and am still wearing them. Seriously. I LOVE them!

I never had the confidence to try the shabby-chic floral look. But after seeing a manicure from The Crumpet, I changed my mind and took a stab at it. (Also, after failing miserable in trying to do a water marble featuring Cult Nails Time Traveler, which left my hands stained navy blue for a night after it went terribly wrong. Oops.)

Swatch and Review: Julep Joan

Happy Tuesday, lovelies!

Today's post is a quick one, as my schedule is jam-packed from 6am to 9pm today.

I received Julep Joan, named for Academy Award winning actress, Joan Crawford, in my February Box! Right now, you can receive your first Julep Maven box for FREE by clicking here and entering the code FREEBOX. All you pay is $3.50 for shipping. A $20 box for just $3.50? Sounds like a steal to me!

Julep Joan is a deep magenta polish with gold flake shimmer. The above is with two coats.

I like the flakey effect, but the glitter seems to sink into the polish a bit too much for my liking. That being said, I still think it's a very pretty color. But the pop of the gold flake would have made it spectacular.

So what do you think of Julep Joan? Are you a maven? Are you planning on becoming one?

Have a great rest of the day!
