Sorry I've been away for so long guys! I moved, got a new job, and have been stuck in training for the past three weeks. Things are finally starting to slow down again, so I'm back!
So after having a Julep subscription for five months, I finally went out and ordered one of the their Mystery Boxes. I talked myself out of the Christmas and New Years ones, which I regret because they had nifty bags and it looked like the stuff people got was worth it. The Valentine's Day box, from my understanding, kind of sucked. I guess people got a lot of repeat and similar colors. So I finally bit the bullet and got the Spring Mystery box. All in all, I was pretty happy. I got three nail polishes, Lauren, Camille, and Ashley, face and hand sunscreen, a nail file, nail polish remover pads, and hair ties. Totally worth the $25 I spent on it.
I wanted to do a spring mani using the polishes I got and I kept seeing bunnies on Instagram, so I felt like trying something new. I painted my nails with two coats of Julep's Ashley, a pale orange with gold shimmer and used China Glaze's White on White for some polka dots. Then I did a coat of Camille on my thumb and pinkie. I kind of love Camille. It's a clear chunky glitter that almost looks holo and totally reminds me of the fake snow in snow globes. It makes me want to do nail art inspired by the collectable snow globes from Fallout New Vegas.
And finally, on my ring finger I painted a bunny using my dotting tools. The white is the same one I used for the polka dots. His little blue eyes are Sally Hansen's Calypso Blue, and his nose and ears are Zoya's Sweet. I painted on his whiskers with a black striper.
I was really proud of myself for actually being able to pull this one off. People kept complimenting them and were surprised that I had done it myself. :-)
