Disclaimer: I purchased this.
Eden by Julep is a deep indigo with purple undertones, or a blurple. My bottle had started to separate so I decided I better rescue this baby from neglect. The label says it was released in 2013, so it's been sitting on my shelf for a while.
Even after shaking it vigorously, you can see that the colors want to separate and the consistency was a bit on the watery side. Not sure if that's an indication the polish is going bad or if it's just a temperamental color. Regardless, the shade itself is gorgeous.
The first coat looked like a disaster but a thick 2nd coat evened things out pretty well. I used Julep's Freedom topcoat, and for the first time with it, experienced major tip shrinkage. I'm now beginning to see Eden as a beautiful but colicky baby. It does have a bit of a dull matte finish and definitely benefits from a glossy topcoat. Bottom line: beautiful but temperamental.
