Hey Julep experts...I need your help!

Last night I decided to swatch and inventory all my nail polish. I actually had less than I thought with 105 bottles. However, as I was swatching, I noticed that two of my Juleps have the same name Nadia. Is this right or is one of them mislabeled? The bottom label fell off of the yellow one, but that one is listed as Nadia on the website and on the upc code from the bottle. I can't seem to find the teal ish one. Thanks for your help!

..

Nadia is from Julep, so it might just be a mislabel. You can call them and try to see what it might be...

Can we get a better look at the teal? Is it shimmery?

The yellow is Nadia, but I am unsure of the teal. As far as I know Julep hasn't repeated names.

Yep, I agree.  I have Nadia and it is definitely the yellow polish you showed.  Did the label come off & maybe you mistakenly put it on the unlabeled blue polish?

I agree.  I thought maybe it could be Lena, but not too sure.  Do you have Lena?  You could compare.

I bet that's what I did! Especially since the yellow doesn't have a label on the bottom, lol.

No shimmer at all. I wonder if it might be Amy... I was googling images and I have the other two colors in the one of the giggles and smiles collection (charlotte and rose) , so I think I must have purchased that at some point. It looks close on my monitor.

Hm, a little OT, but does anyone know how Blakely compares to this new OPI?



Peace & Love & OPI from their new San Fran collection. They also describe it as "See your mani shift from purple to green."

I might go ahead and get blakely if that's the case that it's a dupe/near dupe. >:

you could check your order history! that should help.

the purple green opi duochrome appears a bit streaky in that photo; the one from julep isn't streaky at all.

i don't mind the streaks actually! I know it horrifies some people, but it gives a more metallic feel to the polish imo. it just kills me when the streaks aren't straight XD taking forever to get my nails perfect ugh

but i'll go ahead and put in an order for blakely sooner or later then >: want

Yeah, I did, but I didn't see it. Unless I got it in the Cupid's mystery box. I have a lot more Juleps than what's on my order history because of trading, though. I'm just going to call it Amy, lol.

YES! Hooray for September! Just 9 days away from the window.

I can't believe it's almost Maven box time again. There may be a Julep vs Bondi debate going on, but seriously, I'm an addict. The more polish the better.

I've heard someone say that the difference between a hoarder and a collector is a display case...guess it's a good thing I display (at least part of) mine! I love collecting colors and picking out the subtle differences.

I think I have the details of my display case worked out with hubby. Now to get him started on the project ... we are way behind with all the medical appts. Bedroom remodeling is still on the table AND I can't seem to stop buying polishes!

I have noticed that my newer polishes have It Girl or whatever type you are on the label like that. The older polishes do not. I would definitely say that your bottles are mislabeled as Nadia just came out in July as one of the It Girl colors (the yellow, that is).

Ladies, I took the initiative to start a new thread under Nail Talk forum. I hope you will check it out and post YOUR dream wish list, too.!

I sure hope so.  There are so many other companies that have gorgeous colors for the fall.

It is close. I have the OPI on now but to me it shifts more to the green while blakely shift more blue.

thanks! would it too much to ask for a comparison swatch? I like green more than blue. Do you think it's as streaky?

I just tried to take a picture of the OPI  and I can't get the green to show in the pic.   I will try and take it at home tonight and compare the two.   Now I'm curious.  I think it is more apt to streak that the Julep.  But it may be me applying it because this was my first OPI after a long line of Julep, Zoya and now Bondi.   And the OPI brush seems much wider than the Julep brush.

Hm, I think so too. I did my nails in DS Mystery last night and the brush was really difficult to work with. I really don't understand why people prefer larger brushes. I'm not sure how big P&L&OPI would be, but I didn't remember having too much trouble with my OPI Nein! Ok Fine from last year's fall collection.

Julep posted on their FB announcing something surprise will be revealed tomorrow. Any guess?!

 

[chelsealady]

Can't get a decent picture but the Opi peace is identical to the Julep Blakely at least indoors. I think in the sun there may be a difference but it is not sunny enough to test it out. The Opi is going into the give away stash just because I like the Julep brush better.

Oooh, I'd trade you for it! Do you have any Julep wishlist polishes (or general wishlist items)? have about 20+ unopened juleps at this point because... I fail... at life. ^^;;
