[Review+Swatch] Julep Maven May 2014 Bombshell Box

I Bought This Affiliate Links

Hi!♥ I haven't been taking my Julep Maven boxes, so I decided get this month's. I was drawn to the lively colors and these didn't disappoint.

The contents of my box! Two polishes and their new Plié wand, as well as two caps to go along with the wand.

I'm honestly not that interested in the Plié wand. I'm pretty comfortable with polishing my nails, so I feel the wand would just feel weird. Haha, maybe I should at least give it a try, but it's seems like too much of a hassle. So if anyone else wants it, let me know! You can have it free - just pay shipping. ;)

Laree, 3 coats: warm, bright pink creme with fine golden-orange shimmer. As with most Julep polishes, I found the formula a bit thick for my liking. With that said, it was still workable and applied fairly well. I still ended up adding thinner to it after - just my preference.

Saaya, 3 coats: peachy orange creme with fine golden-orange shimmer. This one was a tad thicker than Laree, but still applied okay. I added thinner to this as well later to match the consistency I prefer.

Verdict: Overall, I'm pretty happy with the colors in my box this month! Both colors are really pretty and perfect for spring/summer.
