Review: Julep Maria

Consistency: nice and smooth

Application: Overall the application was easy BUT only if you work fast. If you work slowly, the polish drags and you don't get an even coat.However, it you apply the nail polish quickly with a steady hand, you only need to apply one coat and it is both opaque and even. Also, be careful of your brush strokes. With this nail polish, each brush stroke is very visible so be cautious and work quickly.

Color: This is one of my most unique polishes. It has a metallic look and is a really pretty color. I would say it looks like rose gold except more on the purple side than a rose side. I haven’t seen many colors like it; therefore I would recommend any one to try it just because of the color. 


Longevity: Whereas the nail polish did well on the other categories, the longevity is the reason this nail polish does not have an A grade. Even on the first day I noticed chipping. The edges wear off really quickly and probably will not last for a week.

How Many Coats: one average coat should be sufficient

Top Coat/Base Coat: Sally Hansen Mega Shine Top Coat/ Julep Nail Therapy (+ Sally Hansen Miracle Cure)


7-Day Wear: To be honest, I have only worn this nail polish for two days, so in this post there is not going to be a 7-Day Wear. (Even at 2 days, I could see chipping and worn edges)

You can get it HERE on Julep.com for $14.00 (Currently on Sale: $7.99) 

Overall Grade: B+
