Monday's Manicure: OPI - A Butterfly Moment

I love this color! It's from the Mariah Carey collection. It's a peachy blush color with a slightly pearly finish. It's soft and beautiful.

Julep Spring Mystery Box Review & Swatches

Get the Spring Mystery Box! Unpack $70-$200 worth of polish and product. Guaranteed to include a new limited-edition mystery color that goes with absolutely EVERYTHING!

Someone's getting some spring bling, one lucky box will include a gorgeous pair of 3/4 carat diamond earrings!

I had a few concerns about this mystery box, which you can read about here.
Here's a brief recap:

• This mystery box is $5 more expensive than the last one.
• Julep is headed towards beauty products, will this box be full of hand creams and not polish.
• Will the ordering/delivery of these boxes be as troubled as the Cupid's box.
• Will the boxes have everything that has been guaranteed in them.

Ok, now that that is out of the way, here's what I got!

NEW Jesse's Girl JulieG GumDrops

Look what I found in my mailbox today! My pre-order from Jesse's Girl! These weren't due to ship until March 13th, but due to the overwhelming amount of orders they started shipping early.

 Limited Edition JulieG Frosted Gum Drops Textured Polish - coming soon to Rite Aid and JessesGirlCosmetics.com (Spring 2013).

• Hot Cinnamon: Hot-red with a glitter finish

• Sugar Rush: Bright reddish-pink with pops of gold glitter

• Tangerine Dream: Citrus orange with specs of sparkle

• Rock Candy: Teal infused with silver glitter

• Blueberry Fizz: Berry blue mixed with shiny silver glitter

• Crushed Candy: Pure purple with silver sparkle appeal

Jessesgirlcosmetics.com is now taking Pre-orders for their JulieG Limited Edition Frosted Gumdrops collection!  The pre-order is $20.01 for 6 bottles of polish, with free shipping. These will sent out after March 13th. They will available at Rite Aid soon at $3.99 per bottle.
 

These are a textured polish similar to OPI's Liquid Sand, and Zoya's Pixiedust, but the colors are much more vibrant.

My only complaint is that the bottles don't have the polish names on them. I'm not entirely sure that I have Hot Cinnamon and Sugar Rush labelled correctly. The formula was awesome for these! The texture is noticeable but not too rough.

 I posted about this previously here. There are more photos under the jump!

Description of Zoya nail Polish in Zuza

Zoya Nail Polish in Zuza can be best described as: Deep, saturated, oceanic turquoise with gold and silver metallic shimmer and a foil-like finish. A beachy, colorful, foil-like shade with the perfect balance between blue and green.

• Color Family Blues, Greens

• Color Finish Metallic Micro Glitter

• Color Intensity 5 ( 1=Sheer - 5=Opaque )

• Color Tone Cool

  This is one of my favorite polishes from Zoya. I picked it up during their killer winter sale. It's a shimmery aqua color, perfect for a Pisces. The formula is perfect, it applies like a dream- nearly a one-coater!

What do you ladies think? I'm not sure if I'm wild about the textured nail polish craze, but at $3.99 a bottle I think it's worth a shot! I've always had great experiences with Jesse's Girl nail polish.
