Bright Rays, Sunshine Days








Julep Hayden

Here's two coats of Hayden, a super bright, happy, pastel-neon peach/orange creme. It's so bright, it makes my skin look dark--but I like that, because I'm pretty pale haha. I'm so glad I chose to wear this color with short nails, because I think this kind of shade would look really tacky and garish on longer tips! I love this color regardless though, it makes me feel all hyped up for summer!

I got this color in my first Julep Maven box. It only cost me one cent for 3 polishes, because there was an awesome promotion going on! I had the impression that this polish was a dupe of China Glaze Peachy Keen, but you can see from the bottle picture above that it's more yellow toned than Peachy Keen.

@ superblondeep: thanks girl!

@ cee: omg jaundice?! i've never had that happen to me with a polish before, but that sounds terrible! aww maybe something will show up when you least expect it! i was the opposite, i bought tons of 'safe', everyday sneakers when i first started out, so i have toooons of those! now i'm more choosy about unique kicks =]

@ esme: thanks! i love cremes too, they're so awesome for layering ^__^

@ joei: thanks!! definitely worth a shot! (;

@ banny: yeapp for sure!

@ miss blue: thank you!!

@ cindy: thanks!! they're coming out with a lot of great ones recently, since summer's on its way and all!

@ chloe: haha aww :3 no worries, it'll be here before you know it! :D

@ jenni: i also got the top coat, leah (an awesome looking green shade) and another color that i can't remember the name of. they also including a couple of sample hand care products for me to try :D i'll get around to swatching the other two eventually, i just don't like swatching for the sake of swatching so i tend to wait til i get around to wearing the color haha (:
