NOTD: Rose by Julep and Some Sugar Skulls

Rose by Julep is the kind of red that is made for warm weather.  Described by Julep as a juicy watermelon red crème, I'd actually describe the finish as a crelly - a cross between a jelly and a cream.  I love a crelly finish, as the gloss factor is uber strong!

The formula was very easy to work with and I'm wearing two coats with Zoya's base and top coats.  After two days of admiring Rose on her own, I decided to add a few water decals as accents that I recently picked up from  Born Pretty.  I won a $20 gift certificate for the Born Pretty store from Jasmine at The Happy Sloths, and I went a little crazy picking out water decals.  Thank you Jasmine and Born Pretty!

I've got a thing for sugar skulls and other Day of the Dead symbology.  Something about the macabre combined with a joie de vivre appeals to me, so I certainly couldn't pass this little guy up!
