When I saw Mackenzie in the lineup for this month, I knew I had to get it, and I'm happy to report that it definitely lives up to my expectations. It's such a bright and happy green, really fantastic for summer! :-)
Formula-wise, it was good, but a little tricky to apply. It's nice and thin, but has a tendency to be runny. I found the trick for a good application is a thin first coat to define the borders, followed up with a medium second coat done with a soft touch to fill in for coverage. Be sure to wipe off excess polish between strokes, as it tends to run down the length of the stem and brush and deposit onto the nails.
You can find Mackenzie 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.
Holy cow! I NEED this green. Have you checked in your stash for any dupes? And I love this on your nails so much. Have I told you lately how much I adore your nails?
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I have no dupes in my stash? In fact, nothing comes even close. I think it speaks to the fact that I don't have enough greens lol. Thank you so much, hun! That means a lot coming from a fellow blogger. <3
