I had my first experience with Julep nail color. (It's weird that I have five colors from them and haven't tried any. I guess I feel like I'm cheating on OPI or something).
Julep Nail Color in Octavia
$14USD
First of all this color is completely gorgeous. The midnight blue was something I was hesitant to try because I wast sure how it would look with my skin but since blue reds are good on my lips, I figured blues must be good for me as well. The color (at least the creme finish ones) is so concentrated! I put on one coat and was thoroughly impressed. The appearance of the laquer itself looked like it already had topcoat, since it was so glossy. In the photo above, I still haven't had the time to put topcoat!
Update: After a few days, there have been chips here & there but nothing major. I'm attributing the chips to the lack of topcoat.
Verdict: Julep nail color is pricey, but their creme finish colors, if anything like his one, are spot on. The Maven box <http://julep.com> is really worth the money. It's like getting two for the price of one! I think it's worth trying. You only pay the $3USD for shipping.
