Today I've got another of the pretty bright colors from my April Julep Maven box to share with you. Abbie is a bright sunshine yellow with a creme finish.
This color looks brighter and more neon in the bottle, but dries a little darker and not nearly as eye-searing on my nails. The formula is as expected for a yellow. The first coat is quite streaky, but the second coat helps to even out a lot of that. What you see in the swatches is two coats, and while it's still a little patchy, I thought it was sufficiently good to stop there. You can definitely add a third coat if you want it to be extra even. The formula is a little runny and has a tendency to drip down Julep's long stem and brush, so be sure to wipe off the excess real well to avoid the polish pooling onto the nails.
You can find Abbie as part of the April Julep Maven Box, as well as on Julep.com for $14 for 0.27 fl oz. If you are new to the Julep Maven program, you can get your first box free. More info HERE.
Wow that's a pretty yellow! I own a yelliw polish that has a crappy application. I dislike it and have yet to wear it. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHehe I can understand that... yellows are always tricky as heck to apply. I'm glad you like this one! :-)
DeleteThat is so gorgeous! I have a slightly less intense Julep Yellow, I think it's called Blake. It does need three coats but it's so pretty for spring, I put up with it. :P
ReplyDeleteHehe no choice, if you want to wear yellow, you have to put up with the tricky application. Blake is very pretty too! :-)
DeleteI love yellows, but their formula always tick me off haha :P
ReplyDeleteHaha I love yellows too, so I put up with the formulas. :-)
DeleteI love it, it's so sunny! I'm glad you're showing off your Juleps again, I missed them :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like this one, Liesl! I'll have to try to squeeze more Julep posts in then. :-)
DeleteThat's a shade that's bound to make you smile :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure! :-)
DeleteHi Yun - YAY for yellow on your nails - looks beautiful on you :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Christine, I'm glad you think so! :-)
DeleteAww, too pretty - I love this kind of yellow!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria, I'm glad you like this! :-)
DeleteThat's pretty good coverage for a yellow :) It's a very fun yellow too!
ReplyDeleteYep, the formula is not bad at all. I'm glad you like it! :-)
DeleteThis is such a beautiful polish on you!
ReplyDeleteI like this one. But I am known to have a thing for the yellows and oranges... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI knew about oranges, but yellows too?? :-)
DeleteLOL Oranges are number one but Yellows, being so sunny and happy are not very far behind ;-)
DeleteBesides, I like the fact that not many others like them :-P
I understand. That's one reason I love green... not many people wear that color. :-)
DeleteVery pretty bright yellow :)
ReplyDeleteohhh i soooo love this bright yellow! stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm loving its brightness too! :-)
DeleteOoh I'm not a yellow person but WOWEE this is just so funky and fun!
ReplyDeleteHehe thanks, I'm glad you like this yellow! :-)
