Nails in the Mail?

When I started college almost four years ago, I got into a terrible (but wonderful) habit of buying nail polish everywhere I went. CVS? Rite Aid? Whole Foods, even? I'd check out with at least a bottle in my basket. This was strange for me as I had never been much of a nail painter (I lack any and all hand-eye coordination) but I started getting more and more into it, and my collection of one or two polishes grew to a few dozen.

I started watching nail art videos on YouTube and experimenting with my own designs, and my roommate and I began a short-lived but very successful nail blog, "On Hand," which actually generated me enough attention to be featured in Newsday! It was a wonderful surprise that grew out of a newfound hobby, and I loved it.

Naturally, when I found out about Julep, I was instantly hooked. After taking a personality quiz, the site will determine your style profile and send you three bottles of polish in the mail every month for $20. I have been participating in the program for several months now, and I am hooked. The colors are great, the quality does not disappoint, and it's like getting a present in the mail every month! 

Since my collection of polishes is becoming excessive, I have chosen to skip a few months of the service here and there, which is easy to do via the Monthly Maven page on the site. I would definitely recommend Julep to anyone who loves nail polish and is looking to branch out and try something new.

Have you tried Julep or other beauty subscription services? If so, what did you think? Please let me know in the comments!
