I know there was a lot of buzz about this month's Julep Maven boxes...
Many people couldn't believe they were doing a crackle polish!! I know I started doing crackle well over a year ago and haven't done it in ages!
I decided to pick the 'It Girl' box and give it a try. I wouldn't be a true blogger if I didn't give my honest opinions on all polishes...
So here we have Leslie and Glenda. Leslie is basically black with a touch of glitter in it. Glenda being the silver crackle. I did two coats on Leslie and it covered well.
I disliked how Glenda went on and was unimpressed with how the crackle looked and the fact that it didn't dry under everything. I ended up messing this manicure up pretty quickly even after 30 minutes had surpassed...
Glenda to me went on way too thick which hindered the crackle process. Take a look for yourselves.
While I do love Julep's polish I just wasn't in love with the crackle. They should stick to regular polish.

Elle - Imperial Purple
So I'm a Kohl's shopper. I love my 30% off coupons and I love my Kohl's Cash. This past week I had $20 in Kohl's Cash to spend and this was a painful trip to the store. I could not decide on ANYTHING!! The clearance section wasn't doing it for me... Shoes... Purses... NADA!!
So while wandering around makeup I found a tiny section of nail polish made by Elle.
It was originally $10 a bottle but I had $20 in Kohl's Cash! So with everything I picked up (a pair of earrings and some body spray perfume) I grabbed a bottle. Cost me less than $10 when all was said and done.
I decided on Imperial Purple. This polish is really nice. It's a nice thick polish with really good coverage. The color was difficult to catch in a picture though. When it was bright out our you were in direct sunlight it was different from when you were inside. So I took photos with and without the flash and even a photo outside.
Enjoy!!

Boogeyman ~ Tipsy Turvy Nails
In honor of Halloween, we have created a line of polish after my favorite scary movies. I love scary movies. Even the dumb ones. And, we thought this would be a cool line to introduce.
This first polish is Boogeyman. This is in honor of Michael Myers...the man who made Halloween a scary time for me...but in a good way. His costume was simple. Blue coveralls and an emotionless facemask with hair...brilliant. And, he was surprisingly quick...he always managed to take one step for the 8 or 9 of the person he was chasing. Makes sense, doesn't it?
And, Boogeyman is available in our Etsy store, Tipsy Turvy Nails.
The polish has a light silver/blue base with blue matte hexes and regular shiny blue hexes, white and red hexes, silver holographic squares and a rainbow sparkle.
Here we go!
