I'm consistently being drawn by darker, moodier colors, probably an indication of my longing for cooler weather and fall. It will come (at least I hope it does - last winter was warm), I'm just wishful thinking it to happen a bit sooner!

I recently subscribed to the Julep Maven program because apparently, I
don't get enough packages in the mail as it is:-) For those who may not
know, Julep is a boutique nail salon in Seattle, WA that makes their own
polishes. They started a subscription box where you can get two of
their polishes and an added extra (pedicream, hand cream, mascara, nail files, etc.) for
$20 a month. There are 5 different profiles and I chose Boho Glam, but
you can change to one of the others if you like that box better on any
particular month or skip a month if nothing appeals to you.
Toni was part of a Mystery box offer Julep had in August. It's a
muted purple cream with greige undertones. If I could coin a word like
greige (gray/beige) to describe it, I guess it would be purge, and that
just won't work. Oh well. Here is two coats of Toni with Seche Vite
base and top coats. The formula bubbled on the first coat but smoothed
out nicely with the second and top coat.

I'm
not usually a purple girl, but I like Toni. It's different but not in
your face and will probably work really well with my cooler weather
clothes. In the meantime, however, I felt the need to top it with
something and Oui by Orly was the perfect choice. I got this in an
after Christmas sale at Sally's Beauty Supply. It's purple jelly with a
shiny gold iridescence. So pretty! This is one coat over Toni with no
top coat.
Disclosure: I purchased these.
That Orly color is absolutely beautiful- it's so perfect for fall- I love it!
