Julep Introductory box

I finally received my Classic With A Twist intro box from Julep. Inside, was a reusable Julep bag, two nail polishes in Rose and Kate, and The Best Pedi Creme Ever foot lotion.

Kate is this very pretty, pearlized white. A bit of backstory: The nail lacquers that Julep offers are 4-Free. Meaning they don't contain any of those harsh chemicals that most nail polishes do, including formaldehyde. Most often, nail polishes that are 4-free don't last long at all on nails without a serious top coat. I don't own any top coats, and when I tried this color out on my nails, it didn't chip or peel at all until I took it off with nail polish remover. A+ right there. :)

Rose, unfortunately, came to me broken, but Shelly from CS at Julep has already sent a replacement on the way. BTW: CS is amazing with Julep. They're polite, helpful, and always quick to respond. Despite being in a broken bottle, I couldn't help myself and swatched the color on a piece of paper. It's this very pretty, classic hybrid tea rose red. You know the ones: You buy it, thinking it's a true, vibrant red, and it turns out more of a dark reddish pink? That one.

The Best Pedi Creme Ever is just that. I have been using it on my feet for a couple days now, and the dry, rough spots I couldn't get rid of with a belt sander are softening up nicely. I hope I get more of this stuff in future boxes! Definitely a plus in my book!

So for an intro box, this was awesome, despite the broken bottle. Both colors are absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to do my nails with them. Possibly a twist on the classic french tip, or something a little more challenging.
