The first thing that caught my eye was the design of the bottle. It is taller and slimmer than your ordinary polishes and one side is painted black with a clear cutout in the middle.
The brush works nicely and gives a smooth, even application. Directions say to apply two coats but I find the polishes, especially the cream formulas, to be very opaque. I just use one coat and do not get much bubbling.
The colors I was sent are from the latest Winter Nail Vernis Collection. Zoe is a metallic burnt amber; Alfre, my favorite out of the four, is a metallic silvery bluish-purple; Emilie is a creamy forest green and Olivia is a creamy dark chocolate.

My only complaint is the drying time, which seemed longer than usual. Other than that, Julep makes a nice line of polishes with a great selection of colors.

I thought you’d like Zoe! =P Olivia looks really pretty.
I knew you would say that *lol*
Emilie is my favourite from the bunch!
I love Emilie, the formula for Julep’s cream polishes is amazing! I found Alfre to be too streaky though.
