Julep Beauty Resolution: Playing With Complimentary Colors

Jan 22


A couple of weeks ago I uploaded a photo to my Instagram featuring my beloved nail polish collection. While someone quickly told me I have way too many bottles, I personally felt it was completely lacking something. All of the colors within my collection are either sparkly, pastel, purple, pink, or very mute. I had 3 or 4 bottles of darker shades consisting of plums and reds. This told me one thing. I really need to branch out and experiment with other colors! As a Julep VIP Blogger I was presented with a beauty resolution for the new year. This resolution encouraged me to play with two different colors that complimented each other. It was time to take a spin at the color wheel and step outside of my neutral box.


The two colors inside of my Julep box were Lucy and Diane. Both appear to be complete opposites but somehow DID seem to compliment one another when applied next to each other. Lucy is described as being a modern, dark burgundy creme. The color resembles a very deep red wine. Diane is a dark forest green creme. It is also another very rich shade that is true to it’s name.

Both of these colors are part of the “IT Girl” style profile on the Julep Maven website. Like all of their nail polishes, they are  “4-free” and do not contain formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, or DBP. They are highly pigmented, chip free, and top notch quality. I have yet to find a Julep polish that I was unhappy with.  Normally I don’t wear dark shades like these but I actually really love how it turned out when my whole hand was painted. The finish was very glossy and shiny. I didn’t even have a top coat on in the photo! I wouldn’t have thought to pair the two together because red and green can be a bit, “Christmas cliche.” But because these are so deep, you can definitely pull it off without looking like a walking decoration! When the light hits Lucy you can see the different dimensions of red making it a unique color. The whole point of complimentary colors is that one makes the other appear brighter. The forest green really makes the red POP! It just may be my go-to polish as Winter wraps up.

If you are not a Julep Maven and would like more information on their products you can visit their site here. Also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter for updates, promotions, and fun giveaways.

Keep Your Hands Pampered During The Holidays With Julep

Dec 09

It’s officially a week into December and this time of year always tends to be a little stressful for me. By the time it gets here I am on the verge of pulling out my hair, throwing in the towel, and wrapping my presents with newspaper! Sound like a crazy person? Really, it’s not that as bad as it sounds. I love Christmas, but the days leading up to it are fast paced and hectic. The holidays can make anyone a little coo-coo. That is why it is important to not only worry about others this season but also ourselves. We are never too busy for a little pampering and honestly, we deserve it! Our hands are the two greatest tools that are used and sometimes abused during the holidays. After endless wrapping, baking, cleaning, cooking, packing, folding, scrubbing, and decorating- my hands are screaming for a little lovin’. Lucky for me, I was given the opportunity to try two “handy” products from Julep to bring them back to life.

Share On: Breast Cancer Awareness By The Numbers

Oct 23


As many of your know, the month of October is a time for major breast cancer charities to increase the awareness of the disease and raise money for research. There are many ways you can participate including sponsored walks, purchasing merchandise, and sporting your PINK any way possible. 

Julep has created the “Pinky Promise” duo to support Breast Cancer Awareness for the month of October. Pinky Promise includes two beautiful pink crรจmes and one of Julep’s best-selling products. Drew is described as being a fabulous fuchsia creme while Carrie is a classic cotton candy pink color. On top of these two shades, you will be getting the popular Essential Cuticle Oil to pamper your manicure. If you are a Julep Maven you can purchase this set for $23.99 and 20% of the proceeds will go to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). This wonderful organization builds awareness for breast cancer and provides free mammograms for those in need.

Whether it is on your clothing, accessories, or nails remember to wear PINK in the month of October to show support for the fight against beast cancer! Also, take a look at the infographic below for interesting facts and information provided by Julep.

From the beginning, Julep has been powered by girlfriends. To celebrate these unique roots and to continue to pay it forward, we are proud to donate to organizations that empower women. At Julep, our mission is to ignite the spirit of engagement in women everywhere, and our Powered by Girlfriends initiative is an important part of bringing this mission to life.

Be sure to share with your girlfriends, because together we can make a difference in breast cancer prevention.
