Last month I posted a not so nice review on Julep nail polish. I received my first box from them in May, and was not impressed. At all. The polish went on incredibly clumpy && started chipping the next day [using Seche Vite base and top coat]. I've mentioned before that I have over 300 bottles of nail polish, so I know what I'm talking about, aha. Oh. And that nail technician license I have also qualifies me a little ;]
Well in total [since I keep forgetting to cancel my subscription boxes...] I've received about 7 bottles from them now, with 2 more boxes on the way. I finally decided to sit down and test out some other shades. I loved them! I honestly think I just got a bad bottle on my first shade. Which is a great relief since I have so many bottles now! So Julep, I'm sorry... aha! I take it back... Maybe I should tell them about the bad bottle? Meh. The shade that I had bad luck with is the shade I'm wearing in these pictures, Kam. It's a beautiful creamy mint color. The formula was just awful though. I can now say that I'm a satisfied customer when it comes to the other shades.
I also was given the chance to tryyy out jamberry nail wraps. Heather Ruiz over at "No Polish, No Problem!" sent me some samples of jamberry nail wraps. I had never tried jamberry before. My previous experience with nail "polish" wraps was abysmal to say the least. It was truly a hot mess. I was pleasantly surprised with jamberry though. It went on very easily and lasted several weeks [until I took it off myself]. You can also use these on your toes, which I think is absolutely adorable && I plan on doing! Hop on over to her blog and check out the jamberry products. The company is also introducing its own monthly subscription box!
Have you used jamberry? Tell me about it!

I haven't used Jamberry. I had this gel polish phase and I'm currently "resting" because my nails became brittle. It'll take a couple of weeks before I get back to using nail polish .... but I will check with my nail artisans if they have Jamberry next time I have my nails done.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can tell through my experience, the Jamberry wraps wouldn't do any damage to your nails at all. It's like a long lasting sticker, if that makes sense. Left no sign that I ever had it on when I took it off.
DeleteMy cheetah and I have not tried this out as of yet....
ReplyDeleteYou should def put some on your cheetah. It'd be awesome! ahah
DeleteNo, I haven't tried Jamberry yet. I'm not very good with painting my nails so don't do it much.
ReplyDeleteThat's where Jamberry would be very helpful. You don't have to polish anything. Just apply a "sticker" and it stays for 2 weeks. Very neat.
DeleteWow nice nail art, my sister would love this, she would try this out, i will show this to her
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteIt's a shame that your first bottle from Julep was bad but at least it has sorted itself out. From what I've read on other blogs they have excellent customer service. I really don't do my nails these days so I've not tried either product.
ReplyDeleteYeah my first bottle from Julep was baaaad. I'm glad that I tried a different shade, or I would've probably just thrown the bottles away.
Deletenot tried this, even I love nailpaints (I guess that's a woman's thing).. and I have a lot of shades as well... My manicure art is pretty bad :(
ReplyDeleteMy nail art is usually bad too. If I have to do it free hand, it's a mess. My eye problems make it hard for me to even polish my nail without making a mess.
DeleteI have seen this jamberry color recently on tv. I think this is now the trending color. It does look fun!
ReplyDeleteThis products seems to great. I am sure I can find some people that are going to be interested in this. I am going to share this.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! <33
DeleteI guess sometimes things just don't mix well. I'm glad you gave it a second try. The nails look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really love the shade of this polish && I'm a sucker for anything Chevron. So this was the perfect combo aha!
DeleteI received a Jamberry sample but it was one (what looked like) LITTLE strip. I did not bother to use it because I didn't know how I would work that one strip into my mani. Yours nails look great.
ReplyDeleteYeah.... the samples are hard to work with. Most of the samples I received wouldn't even fit on my pinky nail, and I have small hands.
Deletehi Emilee, I'll share this with my wife, this is out of my jurisdiction lol
ReplyDeleteAhah! Oh I'm sure your hands would look pretty with some flower nail art :p
DeleteWhat does it taste like?
ReplyDeleteI need a response on this. I also would like to know how it will hurt digesting the nail polish.
DeleteThat green is gorgeous. My daughter has used Jamberry and she loved it.
ReplyDeleteThat;s a really nice color. I will have to give it a try when I make my next order
ReplyDeleteI love my Julep boxes! I haven't used Jamberry though. SEems cool.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried jamberry yet but seems ok now about julep oh well i have had one to many bad bottles I;m not a fan f their polish
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you gave them a second chance. Sometimes it is just one bad apple that spoils things. You managed to look past it and realize they have some great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nales! I really like those chevron stripes you have! And the nail polish sounds very good quality!
ReplyDeleteIts good that you gave the other shades another try..I love the shades that you picked..
ReplyDeletePretty shade of nail polish perfect for summer. It's one of a kind shade that I think doesn't suit all skin tone.
ReplyDeleteI Love julep so much. I really want to try jam berry. They look awesome.
ReplyDeleteThey're really neat! If you go to the girl's webpage, you can request a sample =]
DeleteI have a simple kit to still review.. but yea, i was sent a funky design, lol so I just haven't used them yet.
ReplyDeleteAhah yeah... there's some strange ones for sure.
Deletelovely nails! i am a fan of nails stuffs too but often lazy hehe
ReplyDeleteOh me too.... ahah. I tryyy to keep up with it, but sometimes my nails are naked for a very long time!
DeleteI get Julep monthly and my first box was not the advertised combo. I reached out to them and they shipped me the correct set at no charge. Some colors are easy to apply and some are clumpy/heavy, so I understand the point you made. That said, I'm enjoying their impressive range of colors.
