Julep Nail Polish - Tracy

















One coat :)






The texture nail polish is supposed to be the color of the ocean.  While it is sparkly it does have a dull shine about it though. [They recommend using a top coat to give it a shiny finish] I used two coats to get the full coverage effect.  I did it get some smudges while applying the nail polish and a few chips after 2 hours of applying the nail polish.  But other than that, the polish lasted for another 3 days before I had to redo it.

Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish - Ray of Light




























I saw this nail polish and instantly fell in love. It has a holographic glitter [red, green, and yellowish] flakes on a dark navy base [but dark purple in some lights]. It does look like jelly finish when it dried. With one coat it provided full coverage but with two coats, it became a striking color. The formula was  bit thick but I am guessing it is because of all the glitter flakes. The one thing that bothers me the most is that the nail polish chipped in less than 2 hours after application with a top coat. It is a stunning color but for little less than $20 it should last longer.
