This month Julep showcased so many different Metallic & Chrome shades but the style that stuck out for me most was definitely American Beauty. The rose gold metallic caught my eye and I couldn't pass it up. My usual style is "Boho Glam".

I could not wait to swatch these colors when I pulled them out. I am usually not a huge fan of metallic shades because they show every imperfection but I'm open to trying anything. Also included in this month's box was a bottle of Julep's Acetone Free nail polish remover so that was super fun to get to try out.

JULEP NAIL COLOR "STEFANI" - A superb gold flecked grey metallic. This color is definitely going to turn heads this Fall. VALUE: $14.00
JULEP NAIL COLOR "DAKOTA" - A rose-gold metallic chrome finish with the perfect penny like pop. VALUE: $14.00
JULEP ACETONE-FREE CONDITIONING NAIL POLISH REMOVER - A professional pump-action bottle for easy, one-handed use. This product is new to the Julep line and just launched this month. VALUE: $14.00

Total value of this box: $42.00 and I was able to get it with the subscription service for $19.99.

Julep Stefani Swatch

Stefani is a spectacular chrome that was completely opaque after just one coat but I like to add two for good measure, so that is what is pictured above.

Julep Dakota Swatch

Dakota applied like a dream and was completely opaque after two coats but like with other metallics still has that tendency to show the tiny imperfections if not applied perfectly.
