Today I am wrapping up the Julep polishes from my June It Girl Maven Box with Morgan. It is a purple with tons of shimmers in a metallic finish.
Morgan's base is a vibrant, royal purple with a slight blue influence. Julep describes Morgan as a "grape" purple, which does bring to my mind this color, although I'm not sure why since purple grapes aren't this color. :P The shimmers in the polish are blue and pink, which translates onto the nail and adds a lovely depth to this color.
I didn't have much trouble with the application. The one thing to remember when working with metallics to use thin coats and allow each coat to fully dry before adding the next one. Otherwise you could end up with some bald patches. Obviously this is a case of do as I say, not as I do, since in my impatience, I didn't wait long enough and messed up my pinky. :-)
What do you think of this color? If you are a Julep Maven, which box did you get this month? Do you like it?

This color is pure gorgeousness, if that is even a word! I absolutely love it, and it looks great on you! That shimmer... it makes the color so vibrant!

It's more like grape candy purple! ;) You're seriously making me wish I'd never cancelled my Julep. Gorgeous color.

Wow it's beautiful!! I love this color and the metallic finish is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI still vote for the return of kitty though! (that little kitty doll you used to have in your bottle pics)
Thanks, I'm glad you like this! :D
DeleteOooh the kitty. Yes yes, it's coming back, not to worry! I mostly use it for my Zoya polishes, because the proportion of the kitty goes well with the shape and size of the Zoya bottles.
Such a beautiful purple!! I love the finish!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm glad you like it! :-)

OHMG a truly "royal" purple - I seem to forget I have quite a few each time I see a new - and this would definitely make me forget if I had the chance to buy it LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing :)
Hehe I feel that way about pinks and reds! I'm always buying more and more of those lol! :-)

Purple always look so nice on the nails :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I think so too! :-)

Of course I love this because it is purple. :) I am telling myself I have something close enough in my stash because I do not need to get involved with another brand, especially one with such small bottles for such a big price.
ReplyDeletePurple is such a lovely color, and I'm glad you like this one! Yes, Julep is so pricey. But their Maven program isn't too bad a deal. :-)

ReplyDeleteHehe purples are awesome, for sure! ;-)
