It has been a good discussion and shows the differences among us, but also shows what we are all passionate about ... nail polish! I am too old-fashioned I guess (when did I get OLD?), but I would never be able to look at my mother and tell her that I am wearing David Bowie's Bulge or whatever the name was!
I'm 26 and I would never be able to tell my mom that I am wearing "David bowie's bulge." Lmao. We are very close, too, but sexy things are not a topic of conversation between us. It cracks me up to even think about bringing up the conversation! Eta- Angi, I seem to be finding you in all of my forum posts. We must have a lot in common! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
I want them to do an anniversary trio or something!  Like....first polish, best seller and fiore.

Also..it might help them if they retired several of the 3-free colors.  Going all 4-free would be best.

this is a cool idea. i don't know if doing the best seller would be a good idea because it might be something most people have and wouldn't want. then again, if most people have it, maybe they would want another, especially if they came with special edition caps or something. what do you all think about that- do you repurchase shades or keep going on trying new things? any guesses at the best seller? sometimes they do the end of month best seller email and what not but i think that's usually a color that was on sale (like denver or eden or coco for $7 for 72 hours) so it makes sense it hits the number one spot for the month.

i can't help but think fiore could have been a better polish based on how that place looked. am i wrong for thinking picking the outside paint color is a bit uninspired? i really liked the video but i saw a lot of interesting colors and textures in the shop that looked romantic, intimate yet modern: fresh updates on the typical coffee shop.
I didn't really pay attention to the other colors in the video (now I'll have to watch again). I do think a matte brown would have been more interesting than just a creme. Or maybe a sea salt finish to represent sugar in the coffee?

I hope this works! If not, it is on the Julep Maven YouTube channel.

 Yes, Jessica, it does, doesn't it? I am enjoying making new friends and you are one that I seem to be feeling a special affinity to, too! I see some of my son's friends hitting 22 this year and they are so much more open and transparent about everything ... although a lot of it has to do more with respect for other's beliefs ...

That's what I was talking about ... marketing messed this up! It should have been released when the Maven Window opened. Instead they hurt their reputation on the very weekend before a competitor launched their own subscription box. Everyone could have been buzzing around a cool Fiore finish!

 
On another topic, has anyone tried to use the email [email protected]? I tried all weekend to submit my Kyla and Monica manicure (even resized it to a smaller file size) and it kept bouncing back as undeliverable. I really wish I could take a better picture of it in a light that shows the colors better ... I have a cardiologist appointment this morning ... maybe outside light will be better with this stupid cell phone camera I am trying to adapt to!

I would totally rebuy a Julep polish based on it being an anniversary color or some other special commemorative color because I love Julep so much that I consider it a collection, not just nail polish alone. Julep represents a rebirth of sorts for me and is very special in my life. I don't know about other brands. I had a few OPI polishes that I had bought the last several years just for a specific occasion and only used once. Who am I kidding, lol? I had three! I was always of the opinion that OPI was the best just because it was the name that I kept hearing in the press in regards to nails. But of the new ones that I have tried, the Julep subscription is completely on another level with me ... almost spiritual (emphasis on almost). I am very much looking forward to my Julep Night like I did last month ... savoring the opening of the box.

 
i am totally obsessed with julep but i can't justify a polish i'm totally not interested in. if it was just a little lighter and warmer, or had golden brown flakes in it, or was slightly shimmery (like sharon or zelda but the same dark brown) i'd be wanting it.

i thought the place seemed sweet and cozy yet still fresh and modern; i saw a burnt sienna color on the walls, warm lighting reflected off of glasses, etc. i just wish the polish was a little more interesting, especially since i know that dark of a shade looks like black on me (worth having a dark brown for nail art but i wouldn't use it otherwise).

I believe the e-mail is down at the moment!

I agree. Most of the time I either buy the entire collection or I don't get any at all. I don't seem to do this with any other brand of polish.

 
Skipped (I dunno if I said it before in this post lol) but will probably upgrade for mystery box who know what it'll bring because someone mentioned that she called their CS service and they assured (I dunno if that's the right word to use ) her that the mystery box will be an huge hit? No commentation on secret store? So I'll try and wait to see what they can offer the mystery box.

Heh. The word "assured" has been so misused in my office that it has come to mean pretty much the exact opposite of what it should mean. "I assure you" = "No way, no how, but I'll say yes to make you go away."
 
yeah i'm hoping to go in on my first mystery box this month if it's sure to be a huge hit, as rumored. thanks for that tip lexxies22. i have almost $15 in gift cards so it would cost me ten (as long as it's the $24.99 price). i would LOVE for them to have two colors like last month's mystery box, or even just the chance of getting one of two, like they've done in the past. i have more than 50 julep polishes so i don't go for the mystery boxes but i would for the chance at limited edition polishes. i want the glitter from the champagne trio but i don't really have interest in the silver. they described it as a white gold but it's really just a silver. the taupey-mauve metallic in the champagne trio is gorgeous though, but because of zelda i don't feel it's compelling. anyways, my point is lol that if they have the glitter/taupey mauve metallic or comparably gorgeous shades in the mystery boxes, i'd definitely grab one.
