Good day everyone!  Today I have two polishes to share with you from Emerald & Ash, both from the Armed Forces Collection.  Every bottle she sells right now from this collection she will donate $1 to the USO so not only do you get beautiful polish, some of the money goes to a great cause.

Wonder Beauty Cherries Jubilee and Julep Eva

Good afternoon everyone!  Who else is enjoying all of the pretty cherry blossoms?  I figured with the weather this would be a perfect time to try out my Cherries Jubilee from Wonder Beauty (now Superchic Lacquer).  It is a jelly base that can be worn on its own but I decided to use it as a topper to a lovely red base.

Julep Maven January Box

Hello everyone!  Today I have my monthly Julep Maven Box to share with you guys.  This month I decided to go with the Classic With A Twist and was overall pretty happy with the box.  The extra goodies were super awesome this month and even taught me something I never knew about the Julep bottles....

Literary Lacquers Bright Spirit

Happy New Years Everyone!  Hope you all had a memorable evening last night!  Today I am going to have a few separate post all featuring the awesome polish from Literary Lacquers.  First up will be Bright Spirit.  A lovely polish with multiple possibilities.

December Julep Maven Box

Hello everyone! Sorry this post is running a little late, but here is this months Julep Maven Box.  This month I decide to go with the It Girl box.  The colors were super pretty and I just had to have the sapphire blue one.

China Glaze Snow Globe and Julep Gunta

Good evening everyone!  I hope you all have had a wonderful day!  Tonight I an going to share another great winter combo.  The mani tonight is inspired by a dreamy snowy night.

butter London and Julep American the Beautiful

Good evening everyone!  I wanted to share my patriotic mani with you guys this evening.  Between elections and veterans day I wanted to show my pride in our wonderful country.  I used butter London Pillar Box Red and Julep America the Beautiful and the combination is perfect.

I used butter London as my base color. Application was smooth and got full coverage in two coats.  The red is super bright cream red but a little to red for me.  It really needs a top coat to tone down the color.

America the Beautiful is a rich red glitter with a splash of silver and blue glitter and then topped off with silver stars.  This one was in my July maven box but showed up after the fourth, so I had yet to wear it.  I only needed one coat to get full, even coverage.  The colors are absolutely beautiful and the stars add a fun element to the polish.

November Julep Maven Box

It's that time again, Julep Maven box review.  I absolutely love my Julep boxes and look forward to them every month.  This month I went with the Bombshell box and I am super happy with it.  The added goodies this month are equally as great and will certainly go in my bag.

First up is Donna.  This one is a lovely medium blue color.  The creamy finish is very soft and application was great, with only two coats.

Next up is Trina.  Trina is a rich dark purple shimmery blend.  The color was actually even better than I had anticipated. The glitter adds an elegant finish with a splash of sparkle.  Again only two coats needed on this one.  Trina would be perfect all on its own.

The other item this month was the Pink Grapefruit Body Frosting.  This stuff smells so yummy!  It was easy to work with and did not leave a greasy feel.  All in all, another great box this month.  If you are interested in becoming a Julep Maven just click on the icon in the upper right portion on this page.  Be sure to use code MAVEN50 to get 50% off you first box.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you guys again real soon.

Different Dimension Holiday Polish

Hello everyone!  Today I have some more awesome polish from Different Dimension.  Missi has out done herself again with another amazing collection.  The three I have to show today are Hurry Down The Chimney Tonight, Think of All the Fellas That I Haven't Kissed, and Christmahanakwanzika (did I spell that right?).  All of them are packed with glitter, go on flawless, and are just perfect.

First up I would like to show you Hurry Down The Chimney Tonight.  This one is filled with various white and red glitter with a clear base.  The fun shapes remind me peppermint bark.  I paired this one with Spoiled by Wet n Wild Permission To Proceed.  The bright green was the perfect background for the unique shaped glitter.

Next up I have Think Of All The Fellas That I Haven't Kissed.  This one is packed with small purple and blue glitter.  I used a Julep Renee as a base and then applied just one coat of Kissed.  Glitter distribution was perfect!

I love the light purple base.  The glitter really stand out well.

Lastly I have Christmahanakwanzika.  Wow, I think she named that one as a joke for the bloggers.... that's tough to spell correctly.  That aside, the name is prefect for this blend.  It really does have all the colors to cover Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Again packed with glitter and makes for a perfect top coat.  I paired it with Julep Kate and it ended up having a Jawbreaker look to it.

Love it over white.

It looks like candy!

I've said it once, I'll say it again, I love Different Dimensions.  All of the polish I own from Missi has been perfect!  Now before I leave you I want to bring up one more item from Different Dimensions.  They sell cuticle balm sticks that are must have with the cold months ahead.  I pick one up when I ordered Horde and Murloc about a month ago.  After a month of use I have noticed a huge difference and even have my husband on it now.  The stick makes it super easy to carry on the go and a no mess application.  My next order I place I will certainly stock up on these, especially the Birthday Cake scent mmmmmm.  Have a great day and I'll see you guys tomorrow.

These were sent to me for review purposes but doesn't not influence my post in any way.

Julep Morgan and China Glaze Glitter Goblin

Hello everyone!  So who is super excited for Halloween?  I know I am and the next few days I will try to share some more festive nails.  Today I have Julep Morgan and China Glaze Glitter Goblin.  The Julep I received in this months Trick or Treat mystery box and the China Glaze I pick up in a four pack Halloween Set at Sally's.

Morgan is a very rich purple with a metallic finish.  Personally, I probably wouldn't wear it by itself but as a base it is awesome.  Application was reasonable with only two coats for full coverage.

Next, Glitter Goblin.  This one is part of China Glaze's Halloween line and I am so glad I got my hands on this one.  It is packed with a burnt orange glitter and silver holographic glitter.  Super shiny and goes on great.  I only used one coat in this mani so I think this bottle will last me a long time.

Glitter Goblin

So there you go, simple Halloween nails for when you are in a hurry up and go situation.  I really look forward to seeing all the different Halloweeny nails over the next few days.  I can't wait to see you guys again and hope you all have a wonderful day!
