Candy colored tint
-06.13.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying
I don't know why people are complaining that these are sheer; It says right in the description "Barely there." That being said I ordered all four colors and am very happy with them. They go on smooth and streak free unlike other jellies I have used. Yes they are very sheer, but that's the point. The only one I would not repurchase is the mint color because it goes on clear.

"hint of color description" read carefullly
-05.27.13
Quick Take: chip resistent
I was disappointed with my Julep polish because I didn't realize how light the color would be. I put on two coats and it was barely noticeable. I purchase based on the picture and didn't read the description closely. My mistake.

Wendy is addictive
-05.26.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing, super shiny, transparent glaze
This review is for Wendy, the watermelon shade. I adore this color. I am the type who changes my mani every night and I have been wearing this color exclusively for the past three weeks. It is so fresh, juicy and squishy -- it takes jelly to the next level and I love that it is a glaze. Julep, please make this part of the core collection. It is absolutely perfect for spring and summer. (I use with a base coat plus three coats of color for max pigment payoff plus a coat of Seche Vite TC for even deeper shine.) LOVE IT!!!

Glaze as in Sheer
-05.19.13
Very Sheer, only a hint of color on bare nails. You must use a opaque pastel base coat for the color of the glaze to show clearly.

I Might Buy 5 More Bottles
-05.15.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, chip resistent, sheer color
This is the polish I've been looking for! It has a really pretty sheer rose tint and dries to a high shine. I don't even use a topcoat with this polish and it stays really nice for several days, through lots of handwashing and gardening etc. The color I bought was a limited edition, and I love it so much I am literally going to go buy several more bottles.

Long Last Best Ever Nail Glaze!! Wow!!
-04.21.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing, fast-drying, easy application
Super easy to apply, and fast dry. I tried it at the store and two weeks later, with doing housework and regular wear, it's still not on my nail, barely chipped. The best nail glaze ever!! Slightly tinted colour, great for day wear in the office or night wear in the clubs!! I got mine yesterday, so go buy yours today!!!

-04.12.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing, fast-drying
I'm not a huge fan of bright and crazy colors on my nails; i get bored of them really quickly. I'm also a big fan of naked nails, but wanted to spruce up my look just a little. I bought the light coral color and the light purple color and love them both, three coats and a top coat (love the new nails inc. gel top-coat, no UV light needed). I would recommend these to anyone wanting the slightest hint of a color.

Pretty in the bottle but insanely light.
-04.09.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
Not what I was expecting as far as color but it dries really fast and is a pretty color but not the bold pigment I'm used to. It is a great look for work or school.

Faint color
-04.08.13
In the bottle it looks like a pale lavendar but on the nails its mostly no color - would be a great brides nailpolish. Cause right now I have a virgin looking manicure. LOL It is a shiny glossy finish as described.

Julep Nail Glaze
-04.08.13
Quick Take: easy to apply, nice color
I have used the Julep Nail Glaze once. It went on very easily but I needed three coats (which I had been told at the store). I liked the finish very much and plan to use this product again soon.

Concept good, reality leaves a lot to be disired
-04.07.13
I bought the purple and green colors. I swatched a layer in the store, and under their lighting it looked okay. Once I did a whole application on all nails though, the green color made me look like I had corpse hands, and the purple barely showed up at all, even after 4 coats.
These are just too sheer to look nice. Maybe the dark pink color would look nicer since it is more pigmented?

Marie - lavender chips too easily
-04.05.13
Quick Take: high gloss
I like the sheer color. I started with a base of pale pink, just to even out my nail tone. It's a beautiful spring color after 2-3 coats. 1 coat didn't show at all, but it gave a great glossy finish.
I was disappointed at how it didn't last very long. Using the same base coat and top coat that I always use, this was chipping after 3 days - much sooner than OPI for Sephora.

Just okay.
-04.05.13
This was my first experience with Julep nail color. While I love the colors, it doesn't last. After two days, the nailor color chipped and left my nail color looking messy. I used the Julep basecoat and top coat to further protect my manicure. I plan to stick with OPI and Essie from now on

Quick Take: fast-drying, chip resistent
Very sheer, perfect for work. Nails look natural but better. And because it's sheer, chips don't show.
I bought the carol shade. It gives my nails a pale pink, healthy glow.

Very subtle color glaze
-03.23.13
If you're looking for a heavy color, this isn't for you. It does what it says. Worn alone, it provides a light, sheer coverage. A 'barely there" tint that shines. On top of color (I used it on top of the speckled varnish) it makes them stand out.

Quick Take: long wearing
I have it in the Coral color, and its VERY sheer, but I thought it was really pretty with a few coats over a few coats of a sheer white color. I got a lot of compliemnts on the color. I have used it twice, and now the polich is a little gooey (even though I tightly seal it when I am done), but over all its a beautiful product!

WENDY- GORGEOUS
-03.13.13
Quick Take: fast-drying, chip resistent, sheer
I really love this color! It goes on a very sheer, shiny, dark pink. It reminds me of cherry jell-o! I uploaded a pic so you can see if this is for you. It is a very good color for spring-summer. I will re-review if it chips terribly. Hopefully it won't, because so far I really like it. It is "four free" and I've had problems in the past with 3 free polishes peeling off in one coat and I don't know why this one would be any different, but I'm hoping it will be... so far, so great though!
