Oooh my, it’s Julep Maven time and I haven’t had one of these to post about since the July box so it actually feels kind of nice to open one of these again. This month I switched my choice from Classic with a Twist to American Beauty because I thought the orange crackle was a unique enough polish to own for the Halloween season. I’m not normally a crackle girl, but a shimmery orange crackle? I’ll make an exception!
What’s this?! Extra Halloween goodies? Nom nom nom…
I truly enjoyed this month’s Maven box even though the surprise was really in the candy corn and two colours of glitter :) The candy corn was especially exciting for me seeing as how I didn’t discover it until my early 20s! I had heard of it, but let’s face it, candy corn isn’t something Asian parents buy for their kids! Hopefully I’ll be able to sport these colours soon, but with this nail challenge, swatches are definitely falling to the wayside! I truly loved all the colours in this month’s Maven boxes, but I’m trying to be careful about not getting duplicate colours in my nail polish collection which is getting harder and harder to do (340 now…)!

When I read the first part I thought, well they better have given her some candy corn, and that they did! I need to buy some!
ReplyDeleteI dont do crackle either. I thin the orange crackle would remind me of a pile of orange leaves! Definitely have to show us what they turn out as.
I sure hope I get to swatch these soon!
DeleteI ate that candy corn so fast! There was definitely not enough in there to begin with!
Hahaha, oh God, I'll try!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love your blog and you are very pretty!

Thank you! Following you back!
DeleteI got the same box and also loved it! I didn't even know about crackle before this and I find it very Halloweeny. Especially when you see the picture of the crackle-looking pumpkin on the card it all makes perfect sense and this will definitely be my Halloween nail.
ReplyDeleteAlso wanna mention that you can check my blog for my giveaway!
Thanks Candice! I'll swing by and enter!
DeleteThis month's box was definitely a great Halloween one!
I skipped it this month, again. I just don't do crackle :/ Now that I think of it, I don't think my parents ever bought candy corn either! We used to get those orange wrapped toffee things that were also called 'kisses', I loved those :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love toffee as well! Mmm, I want candy now!
DeleteI wore Sabrina and Eloise last week when I was TA-ing a class, and got compliments from the students. It's a really neat look that's easy-to-do and looks quite fab!
ReplyDeleteYou must be the coolest TA ever!! I totally would have noticed ;-)
DeleteOoh what a great treat! lol yea I didn't have candy corn that much as a kid. Love the colors you got! Can't wait to see the crackle!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to use it!
DeleteNow we (okay...I) need to see the orange glitter!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I actually haven't used loose glitter before so that will be something new!
DeleteOoh, shimmery orange crackle? I want to see swatches!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had candy corn in forever it feels like.. I need to get some! I think that'll be my next manicure too, hehehe.
I know, I hadn't really seen shimmery orange crackle before either, so I thought why not!
