Malibu Red and September’s Julep Maven Box

Happy (Almost) Weekend!  I can’t believe it’s already September!  This year is totally flying by.  Anywho, I have a simple drink recipe ahead and THE prettiest manicure evaaaa!  (Well, not really ever but I am sooooo in love with it)

This drink – hold on to your bikini top cuz it will fly right off!!  I bought a little sample shot bottle of Malibu Red a while ago because, hi, coconut liqueur, rum and tequila is riiiiiiight up my alley.  I never knew what to mix it with, but it was so painfully obvious once I finally figured it out. 

You’ll Need:

Malibu Red (seriously, go buy the whole bottle, trust me, you’ll be sad after the first sip that you only got the little sample shot)

Pineapple Juice (I bought the little six pack of mini cans – perfect drink size)

Ice

Make It!

If you can’t figure out how to put it together, you should not be drinking.

Oh.  My.  God.  Becky….Look.  At that color!  Love at first sight!!  When I got the email from Julep telling me what colors I’d be receiving, I was so stoked.  Hoch is the prettiest green that I now own.  A crème emerald color that is seriously to.die.for!  You’re getting flooded with pictures because I just couldn’t get enough of it.  Eileen is just white.  Not much to say.

I went to Sally Beauty Supply over the weekend to see if they had anything good on sale.  I found this pretty Orly (Watch It Glitter) for $3 and some change.  Couldn’t pass that deal up!  I thought it would look fallish to put over the white.

I really am in love with Julep’s formula for polish.  Most of the time it’s a one coat wonder polish – that barely EVER happens!  I’ve gotten two boxes from Julep so far and I am SOOOO glad I signed up for it.  They really don’t compare to any other brand.  It’s kicked out Essie as my favorite now (sad day, I know), but ONLY because it applies like a dream.  I still love Essie’s colors more (for now).

**WARNING** my feet are pictured below - if you hate feet, don't look!

Oh my, I broke my number one rule - NO GREEN POLISH ON TOES.  I just think it makes you look like you have a disgusting fungus growing on your nails.  BUT this isn't a fungusy green (so attractive, I know).  Thanks A Windmillion like a smoky light grey green kind of color.  I got it at Ulta a week or so ago and was going to paint it on my nails, until my Julep box came in...so to the toes it went!  Two coats was perfect, no topcoat, as usual.
