Hello lovelies! Today I have the Julep Maven January Box. The theme this month was Nude & Neon. My normal box style is American Beauty, but I didn't really like the orange neon they offered, so I switched to the Bombshell style because I really liked the purple.

| Julep Bette and Ava |
The nude selection was a pretty polish called Ava. It's a very light frosty pink. Went on perfect in two coats, no application issues. Dry time was normal.

The neon in January's box is a sheer purple jelly polish called Bette. Julep describes this a "creme", but I am going to disagree. It is definitely not a creme in my definition of the word. It went on nicely. As you see, I used it with various undies/no undies combos.

Like I've found with most neons, dry time was fast and it dried semi-matte. The pictures shown have no topcoat. There is some sheen, but not as much as a normal polish, but it's not as matte as a matte polish.

I thought the neon would be much more in-yo-face!-where's-my-sunglasses?-blam!! neon, but it really wasn't. The color shown is pretty much how it looks in person.

I just got a bottle of "Lauren" and it's a pretty neon pink--but even after four coats I have tip show on some fingers, so I might have to try it over white or a nude. Thanks for the tip!
