I recently received both Juleps Joy and Julie G's Sugar Plum Fairy from two different swaps. I couldn't decide on which polish to put on first so I put them both on and I am very satisfied with them.
Joy is a beautiful mauve-y pink. Honestly I have no other polishes like this shade as I stick to purples or brighter shades of pink. I'm happy I swapped for this polish. To be even more honest I feel like I have to purchase a back up as soon as possible because this shade is no longer sold.
Julep polishes do run on the more expensive side as they retail for $14 for non-mavens and $11.20 for mavens. If you don't know what a
MAVEN is, just click the link. It's nail polish subscription service for about $20 a month. You get 2-3 polishes depending on what your "maven style" is.
$14 for a polish to me is pricey and most of Juleps polishes in the past have been kind of thick and goopy, but not this one. This polish was actually very nice. The consistency was a little thinner and very opaque in one coat. I did two coats for all my nails and I noticed that if I wasn't careful with how much polish was on the brush when applying, my nails looked like I had just painted on one thick coat. Which obviously doesn't look too appealing. After the polished dried, which was actually pretty quick the polish kind of evened out by itself, which is always nice.
Sugar Plum Fairy is a very pretty matte true indigo shade with metallic blue/purple shimmer. This polish shade catches the light so beautifully I honestly can't completely describe the color. The shade is outstanding but I found it weird that mine had no texture. It just feels really rough and matte. Other then that there's basically no texture. If you would like to try this brand out Julie G polishes retail for $3.99 and are sold at numerous stores. Although, oddly enough I have never found these polishes in any of my local drugstores.
**NOTE: Sorry my nails look really crappy. They've been really dry lately.**
I did my nails Saturday around noon and four days later...they polish has just slightly begun to chip at the very tips of my nails. Both of these polishes are great shades and are great formulas in my opinion as they've survived my daily farm work. I help my mom on her farm during the morning and evening and during the day I'm just like any other mother of two. For both of these polishes to stand all that I am completely wowed.
