Julep Maven's April It Girl Box

Here's another Julep Maven box!  This time, it's the April It Girl box.  This box/style seems to have the most polishes in it.  Usually, the other boxes come with either one or two (or in the case of May's Classic with a Twist, none) polishes, but this one seems to always come with three.  I was really dying to get my hands on a baby blue creme colour, kind of like a minty blue and when I saw the colour in this box, I had to have it!

April's It Girl box came with the usual nail file, three polishes and toe separators (nice touch).  For those new to the subscription box, this box costs $19.99 and it's focus is nail products.  The polishes normally retail at $14-$18 each, so this box came with about $72 (wow!) worth of stuff.

The It Girls in this month's box are Niecy, Penelope and Jessica.

Niecy describes herself as a bright pink creme for those sunny days.  And wowzas!  She's fantastic!  She's more like an electric pink pop of colour.  I can already tell that we're already going to be the best of friends.

Penelope...Don't be fooled by her...She says that she's opaque, almost white creme with a hint of blush.  It's like baby pink.  Like the pink that you find at baby showers for girls.  It's pretty, but I don't wear colours like that very often - I have to be in a very special kind of mood to want to bust out such a light, airy colour.

Jessica is a soft and sweet baby blue creme.  And boy, she is!  She's like the boy version of Penelope.  It's that baby blue that you'd find baby showers for boys.  Since it's not as light and airy as Penelope, I can see myself wearing this whenever I want to wear polish with colour but not be totally attention grabbing.  It would make a great tip accent colour.  Not quite white, but not quite a solid blue.

Don't forget about the Cinco De Mayo Mystery Box that's coming out soon! And don't forget to use the CINCO coupon code either!  It'll make this $60 box a $19.99 box and it'll come chock full of goodies!

There are a few more days left on Blog Hop #8!!!

  2. I got this same box! I loved the colours :) But the penelope polish was the only one I had a problem with. It didn't cover nicely, and even with 2 coats I found it was still see through.
    But the Niecy and Jessica are my favourite polishes from Julep so far :)

    1. I know. With most light blues that I've seen, they've been weird shades of blue, this one is dead on. :)

    1. Thanks, they are all beautiful colours! Too bad I can't wear them all at once without looking like a weirdo! :P
