Julep Catherine is a jelly polish, meaning it applies to a super shiny finish, and also might be a bit sheer. However, I was able to build Catherine up to full opacity with only two coats, so I was really pleased! I have to admit though, that OPI has spoiled me with the pro-wide brush. Only when I use other brands of polish do I realize how amazing that pro-wide brush is! Julep's brush is slender and hard to apply with perfect precision. I ended up having to clean up around my nails.
Catherine, in my opinion, is the perfect red for my skin tone. I normally don't opt to wear reds because I find that it makes me look just off, but Catherine is different! I may have found my perfect red! :) This polish could also be used to make a candy mani since this is a jelly polish. I will have to experiment with my glitters, I would love any suggestions!
I have to say, this polish looks much better in real life!
Also, Julep is running a contest on their Facebook page, and I would LOVE it if you voted for my entry! You can vote once per hour, so tell all of your friends! If I win I will be sharing swatches of all the polishes with you :) So everybody wins!
Love the color!

I have looked at swatches of Julep polishes as well as gone to their web site to look at their tube colors/descriptions. Nothing ever really hit me enough to join. Then I tried to join this month while they have their 1 cent sale for one month's box to come to you. Their web site could not process my order and I tried over 4 days to get it to work. It would tell me it was a duplicate order. I phoned. No one still to this day has got back to me via phone or email. From other tales I have heard when the company first started, seems they have a huge customer relations problem as well as getting their company set up to work as it is supposed to. Still want to get what I can for 1 cent however if I ever get through to them this month before it's all over with. I do like their hand exfoliater - not that I don't have another type of scrub that works just as well.
ReplyDeleteI have also heard some customer service horror stories about Julep, but it seems as though they've gotten better recently. That sucks about your experience :( Hopefully they get back to you really soon and resolve the issues, or they will loose a willing customer!
