I have been subscribed to monthly Julep boxes for almost two years now. I don’t get them every single month, but instead pick and choose when I am in love with the colors they have that month. Julep is a nail polish subscription with a few different styles that you can choose from each month. Their colors are always on point for the time of year and I honestly LOVE the quality of their polishes. When I pair any Julep polish with Essie’s No Chips Ahead topcoat, my manicure lasts through all sorts of cleaning and dishwashing and whatever else. I am always so impressed by the resistant to chipping!
Another perk of Julep is their points system. Every time you order a box or refer someone to sign up, you receive points (which are called jules). Once you get enough jules built up, you can redeem those for polish or monthly boxes (or makeup and skincare, because they sell some of that too). Having been with them for two years, I have racked up some jules in my time, haha. So last month, when I ordered my box, I spent my jules on adding on the Just For Yule trio of polishes because they are the most perfectly festive winter colors!
First up is Myrtle, a gorgeous red crème polish from their Classic With a Twist style. I only did a single coat of polish for all of these swatches, so keep in mind that the already super vibrant color would be built up into something even more stunning. I think this is the perfect red for my skin tone and it’s definitely going to be a go-to for me.
Next up is Brigitte, a bright white crème polish also from the Classic With a Twist style. I am always on the hunt for the perfect white polish, as I find they usually are either too thin and transparent or too goopy in thickness. I only did one coat of polish in this picture, and you can already see that it has great coverage. A second coat of this would make for perfect white nails.
I saved the best for last. This beauty is Emer, an evergreen shimmer from the Boho Glam style (usually the style I end up choosing each month). I swear, I have been looking for the perfect forest green color my whole nailpolish-loving life. I see a lot of kelly greens, lime greens and even chartreuse, but never ever something like this which is just SO pretty. It’s my new favorite, for sure. One coat completely did the trick, and I’ve had this on for five days now without a topcoat and it’s made it through plenty of cleaning and dishwashing and day-long typing with only minor chipping at the tips.
You can find the Just For Yule trio available for sale here (try code THIRTYOFF to save 30%) and you can sign up for the monthly boxes here. It’s totally no-pressure as you get the option to skip boxes each month, so if you just don’t have the extra money or you’re not feeling any of the colors for any month, you can simply skip it and try your luck next time! When you sign up (new customers only), try the code 50BUBBLY for 50% off your Bubbly Welcome Box), or code HOORAY for a free 3-piece Welcome Box!

I really like that green color which is odd because I am not usually drawn to the green polishes!
Chelsea says
Right? Neither am I because green looks gross on my skin tone usually unless it’s like emerald/forest green/more of a teal.. so this one fits the bill perfectly! I love it!

I’ve always wanted to try this brand, and now knowing you are such a loyal customer, I am sold!

It’s definitely a great brand, I love love love Julep. Another thing I forgot to mention is that if you usually suck with a nailpolish brush, this is the brand for you. They’ve started making the brush part more flat/wide so it’s super easy to get a good coat of polish on your nails without having to go over it a ton of times and make it all streaky!

My thoughts exactly! I’ve never seen a color quite like it.

I love all three of them!

Me too!

Emer is seriously such a stunning color. I adore the dark green with slight shimmer. I’m not super big on nail polish, so a subscription service isn’t necessarily up my alley.

Isn’t the green sooooo gorgeous? I love it! I totally can understand that- I am a bit of a nailpolish hoarder myself so it’s perfect for me :)
