Disclaimer: I purchased this.
I ordered all 3 of the Julep August mystery boxes, as I had a $50 gift code due to the No Excuses sunscreen not being included in my August Maven order. I admit that it was burning a hole in my pocket and when I ordered these, I actually didn't notice these were polish only boxes. Whoops. The boxes arrived Saturday and fortunately there were only two polishes that I already own, so I lucked out. Let's start with the metallics.The boxes were said to include at least $100 worth of product, and the inclusion in each box of nail stickers made that claim true. Each box had 7 polishes, so 7 x $14 = $98, so the stickers round it up to meet the $100 claim. Considering I paid only $10 for all the boxes using my gift code, my price per polish is 47 cents, a total steal. I do already own Missy, so repeat #1.
- Penny: burnished bronze metallic (Muse Montreal, August 2015)
- Marika: stone matte metallic (New Year, Fresh Look, January 2016)
- Rachael: graphite shimmer (Kisses, London, September 2015
- Sawyer: copper patina molten (Friendsgiving, November 2014)
- Joss: ripe fig duochrome (New Year, Fresh Look, January 2016)
- Missy: titanium metallic (The Rebel Set, October 2013)
- Mia: greenish silver metallic (Glitterati, December 2013)
Next are the visually pleasing brights. Repeat #2 is the scarlet with gold shimmer Suzanne.
- Danica: blue violet iridescent chrome (Paradise, April 2015)
- Lee: spitfire red creme (Set Sail, May 2015)
- Suzanne: scarlet with gold microshimmer (The Switchup, November 2015)
- Sam: limeade creme (Into the Sea back from the vault, July 2016)
- Jenna: tangerine burst creme (Paradise, April 2015)
- Connie: hot magenta plum creme (Paradise, April 2015)
- Ari: extreme fuschia vivid sheer (Shine On, April 2016)
The last box is a mixtures of shimmers and glitters.
- Queen Anne: lilac glitter (3 year commemorative color, August 2014)
- Judy: moonbeam iridescent chrome (All Night Long, December 2015)
- Roxanne: black and gold jagged glitter (Dancing in the Night, November 2015)
- Oscar: 3-D gold glitter (Oscar, February 2012)
- Tish: silver bell microglitter (All Night Long, December 2015)
- Pepper: cornflower multidimensional shimmer (Rainbow Bright, May 2016)
- Neely: sparkling cranberry glitter (Raindeer Games Duo, November 2014)
