I wonder the same thing. I love Julep polish. I've only had a couple out of 69 polishes that were a gloppy mess- those were glitters. If the polish is that unmanageable, I'd contact CS for a new bottle as it might be a error in a batch or something.
Now THAT'S a haul! Glad you are feeling better!Originally Posted by r4chel77 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
version four exists! (found in a swap group on fb)
also, i cannot thank you all enough for wishing me well. i woke up this morning feeling miraculously better. last night i really thought about going back to the hospital because i felt so ill and was in a lot of pain. this morning, my stomach is still upset and hurts moderately but i'm doing okay. at least enough to cheer for this box! i hope this is what i get.
I am also a fan of the OPI brush!
I think I noticed a Zoya Satin add that had a pretty crimson for fall ... and yes, I love The Wizard of Oz ... watched it every year on TV when I was growing up ... it used to be a television event! Can't say the Vols have had anything to cheer for in recent years, but Bama certainly has!
I think that might have been me, mariah .... it was very hard to work with...I thought is was a jelly which I had never used...bought at same time as Kyla and did a manicure with both of them and Kyla is wonderful to work with. I didn't understand the difference but hoped someone with more experience than me would know.
I wouldn't think it would cause the variation in formula from color to color, MissTrix. But the tall bottles with the long brush does make it necessary to be very careful about long drops not running down the brush handle while painting a nail. I don't like that aspect, but at the same time, I adore the bottles aesthically.
Great question, Rachel ... I think their marketing is so good that a lot of people get sucked in by that ... plus, when they get it right, they REALLY get it right! I loved the first polish I tried, Mackenzie, and have loved every one since. It lasts a long time on me, too, without chips. Maybe their formulas just work better with some body chemistry in some people and not other? I know from all the reading I have done this summer that it is very hard to get yellow to be a good consistency in any product, so maybe it has to do with the pigments themselves.
Yes! I saw swatches on Vampy Varnish today. Swoon... There's a brown called Louise, which is my grandma's name. I'm looking forward to adding it to my collection & wearing it in her honor. I love it when there's a nail polish that shares a name of a strong lady in my life! I love Julep Lynn because of my aunt, and I've been wanting Julep Abbie because I have a younger cousin who shares the name & the color matches her personality so perfectly! Of course, I've been dying for Julep Jessica for my name, but it is never in stock!
I love LOVE Julep glitters but not much else has wowed me. Jane, Paris, Camille and Vivian are some of my favorite polishes ever. I've also been wearing Reiko (with some snakeskin decals) for the past few days and I am totally obsessed with it. I just started expanding past drugstore brand polishes in the past year or so and haven't found any absolute favorites yet (I still have a lot to try!!). For me, most of the brands wear & apply the same so I just look for colors I like.

I know what you mean! Julep's Melissa is always OOS (possibly discontinued?) and Zoya doesn't even have one by that name.
I don't think either of them have Linda (my Mom) or Joyce (my Nana) either!
I got Melissa in the warehouse sale. It's really pretty! There are a couple of Julep swap groups on Facebook if you want to try to find someone to swap with or buy it from. Let me know and I'll pm the links to you.
