Julep Nail Parlor Holiday Colors Set Giveaway!

Good mornin’ to ya! I hope your Monday goes by quick and easy
I have partnered with Julep Nail Parlor for a little giveaway for you guys!
Background: Julep Nail Parlor is an environmentally aware nail salon chain in Washington, with the flagship salon in Seattle. If you get a mani/pedi there, they send you home with the items that can’t be sterilized, and if you bring them back for use on your next visit, they donate $1.00 to The Nature Conservancy. I think that’s pretty cool!
They also have a whole slew of nail colors available for purchase.
They will be giving away one set of their Holiday Colors (mini bottles), which include the four polishes you see above.
The colors are:
- Stefani - Medium olive green with blue and gold shimmer
- Sienna - Gold foil
- Cyndi - Blackened red glitter
- Molly – Bright red creme

Stefani, Sienna, Cyndi, Molly

Stefani, Sienna, Cyndi, Molly
All four of these colors applied very nicely, and were totally opaque in two coats.
Stefani was my favorite color, it’s a very unusual shade of olive green, kind of with a silvery look, and I love the blue and gold shimmer.
Sienna is a nice, standard cool-gold foil. Perfect for Christmas.
Cyndi is a great blackened red glitter, if not totally unique.
Molly is a nice, classic cool red creme. Nothing groundbreaking color-wise, but still a nice color.

i ate a delicious banana creme yogurt wit graham crackers-please enter me in the giveaway.
Hmm… Well, I had scrambled eggs and potatoes with melted cheese and salsa, does that count as delicious? Of course, cheese makes everything better… I also had a couple of peanut butter M&Ms, those are delicious for sure!
I’ve never heard of this brand, but they certainly sound interesting, I love that they’re looking out for the environment! I agree that Stefani is the clear standout here, I’m sure I have dupes for the others.
Hope you have a great day and stay dry!
The most delicious (and only) thing I ate today was French Toast. I make it every year to kick off the first official day of Christmas break for the kiddos. My 6 year old daughter just loves Stefani. She says it looks fancy on you.

I had an amazing sub from a local place here, called Subconscious. I had a pastrami and cheddar cheese with german mustard, toasted. YUMMMM. Thanks Kelly!
Oatmeal, actually. I know it sounds pretty boring, but pop in a generous amount of dried cherries (during the water boiling phase so they get a little plump), peanut butter, and walnuts and there is nothing better for a chilly winter day. The cherries and peanut butter do all the sweetening so there is no need for sugar. Follow it with a cup of french press coffee (from fresh roasted beans), or a black tea/matcha combo and you’re looking at a warm and satisfying start to a day. That was many, many hours ago and I’m still not hungry!
I’d love to have them!
