Christmas Mani

I had so many new Christmas shades I have tried out this December.  It was hard to choose which ones to use for my Christmas manicure.  I chose ILNP Very Ornamental, ILNP Fresh Evergreen, and Julep Shoshanna.  I loved these shades the first time I tried them this month and knew I probably couldn't wear them many other times this year, so I brought them out again.  I did a simple tape mani layering one color over the other and topped it off with a shiny topcoat.  I love how this turned out, perfect for all my holiday gatherings.  What are you wearing for your Christmas Mani?

Julep Celia & Shoshanna

Today I tried my December Julep colors Celia and Shoshanna.  Cecilia is a metallic green shimmer with hints of silver.  Shoshanna is a gorgeous yellow based holographic glitter that works perfectly with Celia.  This mani came out nice and sparkly for the holiday season!  Only one more week of Christmas nails left.  Did you pick up any of the Julep December shades?

Julep December Glitterati Box

I received my December Glitterati Julep box on Tuesday.  I am glad that Julep arrives so early in the month since the shades are so seasonal.  This month Julep had lots of options for the monthly boxes, including 10 polishes, an eyeshadow palate, eye primer, and add ons.  If you don't know how Julep works it is a monthly nail polish sub.  Every month they release a collection of shades and you get to choose which box you like for $20, if you want to add on any of the other shades it is just $5, or you can upgrade to the whole collection, or even skip.  I chose the It Girl box, which included Shoshanna, Celia, and Evelyn.  I added on Gianna and Cara.  The colors are so gorgeous in real life!  I hate to say it but the swatches that Julep provides don't do them justice!  I picked my box three months in a row so I also got a coupon code for a free polish!  Which Julep box did you choose this month?  If you want to become a Maven click here and get your first box for free with code FREEBOX!

Cara:  I don't usually like reds, but this one is gorgeous!  It is the first shade I tried a bright cranberry shimmer red.

Celia:  This is the shade that made me pick the it girl box!  It is a bright shimmery Christmas tree green, can't wait to rock this one this December!

Shoshanna:  A yellow holographic full coverage glitter.  The holo on this is amazing!

Gianna:  Gold flake and bar glitter topcoat.  I love glitter topcoats, and needed a gold perfect ;)

Evelyn:  This is a deep plum creme, I think this is more of a spring shade, but it is still pretty.
