Me, two episodes of Elementary, a glass of wine, and the May Julep Maven It Girl box. The result? I got a little art deco. A layer of Zelda, some striping tape, and then two layers of Gabrielle. It’s even not so bad on my right hand!

Is lady-on-polish marriage legal in Illinois? Because me and Julep’s Marissa are getting married. She takes three coats to get even, but she’s worth the effort. 

Summer goal: working on my drip and drag techniques.

The Virtues pop-up shop turned up at BroCity to do these bitchin’ art-inspired nails for Lauren. The background is Julep’s Viola. Then some striping tape, then a tiny paintbrush and Zelda (the gold) and Gabrielle (the purple) by Julep, plus Break a Leg-Warmer (the gray) by OPI for Sephora. 

Wow, Sarah, are you ever going to get over ombré? 

Nope, doesn’t appear so! It’s just so easy! This is two Julep colors, Susie (the blue) and Simone (the pink). So perfect for pretending it’s spring.

This month’s Julep Maven It Girl colors. You guys don’t even know how much I love a nautical. I am going to rock out some blue-on-blue stripes when this arrives.

These are super simple but I love them so much. Probably because Essie’s “First Timer” is so amazing. 

An elderly Polish man in a fur hat stopped a young woman in a shirt commemorating a same sex marriage march. I got nervous. “When they talk about this,” he said, called to her across the bus, everyone uneasy now, “they will remember the volunteers, not the state. Thank you.”

Cementing their place in my heart as the best polish company around, Julep has started doing swatches on both light and dark skin. This gives me a way better idea of what will look good on me and I cannot wait for this gorgeous deep blue in my April Maven Box.
