I've been admiring the holographic and duochrome colors I see when I go grocery shopping at Target a lot lately, so I'm waiting for Julep to make similar polishes. I think that comes up a lot as something more people want to see from Julep, now that I think about it. I know it's far-fetched, but I wouldn't mind more gimmicky polishes like Casper from October. For about a year when I was in junior high, I only wore two polishes and both were the kind to change colors in the sun. I still love those sorts of polishes even now!

I'd like more textured polishes from Julep in all sorts of different styles, but I'd like them to improve the formula a little if they do more sea salt/stardust-like finishes (both went on the same for me, so I consider them the same). They chipped so easily when I wore then even though I don't do a lot that would cause chipping, but the liquid sand polishes from OPI have almost the exact same texture with three times the durability. Not a single chip in the week I wore the OPI polish! I'd rather not choose between durability and texture when other polishes have shown me I don't have to choose.

 
How do we have less than 4 days until April is revealed, time is flying!! i'm looking forward to seeing April's birthstone polish b/c that's my bday month, i really hope its a good one!

 
I have drunk the glittery Kool-Aid and signed up tonight for my first Julep box with a code get my first free! They're sending me a gorgeous deep blue and a shimmery silver. I don't even have it yet and already I'm trying o figure out how to do something really interesting using both of them! Around when do they bill, and when on they ship?

The Maven window opens on the 20th of each month and you have until midnight on the 24th to choose your box. After that, they start billing and the shipping day is the 27th, although sometimes they bill and ship earlier (but not before the 24th).   I think that since you signed up today you will get to choose an April box.

 
Is it really only 3 days away from April window already!?! Where does the time go! Can't wait to see what April brings us... And I'm super happy that this box will be FREE with jules! Yippee

As always, I'm hoping for lots of foils/metallics/duochromes and as few creams and glitters as possible.  And heavy on funky punky colors!  I would love for them to use the It Girl category to go really experimental with colors and finishes.  The month they had Roc Nation curate It Girl was okay despite the cream because it as a *green* cream, plus there was a stardust purple (plus the free LOVE polish!), but *so tired* of glitters like the gold one in that box.  Glitter seems like a really easy thing for them to fall back on, and easy colors = *boring* colors to me.  More stardust/sea salt finishes in weird colors!  I'm bored with everything right now (I've been stuck inside all weekend recovering from oral surgery, so that might have a lot to do with my attitude right now!) and want something *really* different and unexpected.  And have they made any sort of hint about the product for this time around?

@KatieS131 already answered you, however I don't think they ever bill before the 27th? Not so far for me anyway. The charge does show up on my Julep account on the 20th but does not hit my bank account until the 27th. They start shipping really quickly once you're billed though! That is the only time Julep shipping is fast in my experience. Anything else ordered throughout the month takes forrrreverrrr (channeling the Sandlot) and speaking of which, I was supposed to receive 2 replacement lipglosses last week and still haven't gotten them! Estimated delivery was 12-14. I'm going to be concerned if they don't arrive tomorrow! Nor have I gotten my mystery box yet that I ordered on the first day :/ Ughh

 
We should be getting a sneak peak here either tomorrow or Tuesday is my guess. Just of one of the products though. I hope I really like April, it's also my birthday month and am not above justifying buying the whole collection as a birthday present to myself along with the birthstone polish

Anyone here have a swatch for Holly from the everybody win gift set? The one I got was really thin and even with 3 coats didn't give me full coverage. Plus the colour is completely different from the picture on their website.
400


 
Weird, im wearing holly today & it wasn't super thin on me. 2 coats, full coverage. Its a nice shimmery emerald blueish-green color on me (supposedly its like zoya's giovanna, but I don't have that one to compare. )

Grrrr, mine is more grayish light green. As you see in my picture.
 
I'm new to Julep (member since February)... but how do you ladies feel about the polish as far as wear goes? Mine goes on fabulously... but it starts chipping like, the next day. Is that because of the lack of chemicals in it, since it's 4-free? Do other ladies have this problem?

Actually, for me Julep is one of my longer lasting polishes. It lasts about as long as OPI on me. The worst for me is Butter London and Nails Inc (guess my nails don't like English brands). I always use a base and top coat (Butter London being my favorite... Go figure).
 
Yes, u definately need a good base and top coat. I like CND sticky base. It works the best. Julep is also one of my longer wearing brands. Seche Vite is a great topcoat to use with Julep.

It depends. Sometimes I have this problem with certain colors. Others will last a week without a base or a top coat. Some are thinner than others, it just depends. I find for me if I use a top coat, especially the Julep Freedom Polymer one it shrinks and sometimes makes my nails chip faster. So I would just experiment with colors, techniques, etc. you'll figure out what works best for you.

I needed three coats for full coverage
