Nail Mail: April 2012 Julep Maven Box and Swap from Jen

I did a little mini-swap with my friend Jen from Jen's Nail Files. She's a really sweet girl and she had a Hard Candy mini from their Christmas line. I swapped with her that, and a really cute bottle of Classic Coral Creme from NYC

I'm not a big NYC fan. Actually I only have one bottle in my collection and it was given to me. But I can't lie, I love this color!!! Although, it's far from a creme, as the name would describe. But, nonetheless, it's a beautiful shimmer coral that is perfect for this season. Nice one Jen! 

Now, onto my April 2012 Julep Maven Box

Julep ran a special where you could add on any two items from any other box for just $9.99. I love their Spring line-up so I jumped at the chance to get two extra polishes. So along, with my It Girl Box, I also got 2 extra polishes

While swatching my polishes on my color wheel (yes, color wheels, I sent the plates I ordered from TKB back for a return. :( they just weren't really what I was expecting), I noticed something. Julep changed their brushes!!!! I thought I was crazy at first but look at this side by side: they switched to a pro-wide style brush. YES!!!!!!!!! 

They also sent a few of my polishes in a protective wrapper seen here: Look at Julep...moving up in the polish world. 

Anyway, here's two coats of each polish on color wheels: 

Mandy- a coral creme

Niecy- a rose creme

Penelope- a blush pink creme

Susie- a pale mint creme

Jessica- a very light blue creme

Here's a side by side of Niecy and Mandy, because they look so much alike in my opinion:

If you aren't a Maven and are interested in becoming one, Julep is currently running a special where you can get your introductory box for just one penny simply by using the code "SHAREONMARCH"  at checkout.

For just a penny, what have you got to lose?? It's certainly worth seeing what all the buzz is about. I know I personally love getting these boxes each month.
