Julep, For Never Ending Nail Inspiration

More and more I am eager to mix things up when it comes to my nails and the manicures I get and a lot of that has to do with Julep and Pinterest. If you are not familiar with either, Julep is a boutique nail polish line and subscription service and Pinterest is an online community where users share the way they use, create, and draw inspiration from just about everything.

Together, both sites have contributed to my need to have my nails in a different color each week, and led me to try colors, styles and designs that I never would have tried before. In the past I stuck with very muted, classic colors, never wanting to draw attention to my nails more than anything else. Well, Pinterest has provided me with an endless file of ideas and Julep gives me the shades and products that I need to stay inspired and get the look I want.

Take crackle nail polish, for example. When the trend first came out I was not eager to jump on the bandwagon because everyone else was doing it and I didn't think it always looked good. However, I fell in love with the look when I saw it done right, in colors I love, and with quality nail polish that worked the way it is supposed to.

And that is why I love Julep and their products! On trend and before the masses know nail inspiration is always flowing from this online boutique nail brand. Things that I didn't even know I would like, or ever think I would try are exciting to me and I can't wait to get the shades I need to get the mani done. And, because this has become very important to me recently, Julep is one of the few companies that makes toxin free nail color for women, so you know they care.

Recently the brand started the Maven Subscription Service, where you are sent new nail colors each and every month based on your likes and the new collections that come out. From what I hear, people are loving it! And knowing how fabulously put together each collection is, I am thinking it would be a lot easier to let someone that understands what I like and am ready to try put together a little box of goodies for me every month. Don't you?
