Julep Cupid Box Review & A Julep Giveaway!

My latest Nail Polish obsession is.... very much rampant and it's more than likely you will see way too many nail polish posts in the future days to come..

Julep announced its Valentine's Cupid Box (mystery box) promo--
For $19.99 (free shipping if you're a Julep Maven -- join HERE) you are supposed to get $70-$200 worth of nail goodies.

Also, if you end up becoming a Maven, you will get your first box FREE with code FREEBOX. Apply the code during checkout!

My first box (darnit, I'm tempted to order another one... grr... argh... must.. resist...) came relatively quickly-- I've gotten 4 packages from Julep in the last 2 months and they have ALL arrived promptly-- brownie points!

Everything comes in a sturdy package-- red crinkle cut papers lined the box, and the nail polishes were resting in them snugly.  Kratos needed to investigate the second the box was opened...

The entire box came with the following goodies:

 The item in the black box is actually a lip gloss! It's cute, but I may save it for a future giveaway or something ;) It's a cute sparkly pink and I may not be the most suited for the pale pink...

There were 5 nail polishes-- at $14 a pop that's $70 retail + the lip balm, not sure how much that's worth. Worth the $20? Most definitely.

Because I have some similar colors already in my existing collection.. I thought it'd be nice to give those "dupes" away to one of you guys!

This little giveaway includes 2 nail polishes (in Rose & Evangeline.. special edition) and 1 essential cuticle oil. The oil is AWESOME, but I have been using my Vanilla Lavender Salve on my cuticles and it'll  last me a very long time so thought I can pass this one along.

Recent nail polish obsession & Final Day of our ShopLately sale!

I'm sooo late jumping on the nail polish band wagon!

You see... I have (had?) this huge, huge, nail biting problem.

My whole life, I've NEVER been able to grow up my nails naturally. Magically, this last month I've managed to not massacre my nails.  I think painting them, even when they're short and ugly helps to prevent me from chewing on them. I also prefer shorter nails since I type an insane amount at work and then go home to work some more with my hands; but growing them out enough to look nice is definitely something I've been striving for!

Lack of chewed nails = prettier nails for painting with pretty colors.

With my newly slightly grown nails, I've developed an obsession with nail polish. I stuck with dark red/glitter black for a while but am now trying to explore other options.

So... my question for you is:
What are your favorite BRANDS/COLORS of nail polish? LINK ME in the comments below!
I'm hearing tons of good things about Zoya... so that's what I'll want to try next :)

I've subscribed to the Julep Maven box... and have been pleasantly surprised with their "OXYGEN" product.  I've gotten 2 boxes so far and I think I'm going to have quite the Julep collection...

Here's a quick shot of what I've gotten so far-- 2 of them were purchased for $5 each as add-ons to my first intro box.... and I think I found a coupon code for like 50% off my first box so everything was about $15 for the first box.  The monthly subscription fee is $20, free shipping.

And this was just the Feb. 2013 box I recently got-- CUTE, came with two chocolates.

I don't know how I feel about the Julep top coat. Seems to initially be "dry" to the LIGHT touch in about 2 minutes, and takes another 15-30 minutes to REALLY harden.  I think I'll stick with Seche Vite.

In other news, I'm continuing to hold sales on my ShopLately page!
