In continuing with Julep July, today I am featuring Julep Colette swatch for you.

Julep Colette is described as a poetic violet shimmer.

I have quite the thing for purple in general so when I saw this in my June box, I was thrilled. I don’t even have anything quite like it. It’s dark, frosted purple with silver shimmer throughout. I didn’t really know whether I’d like it because of the frosty factor, but I must say, I was pleasantly surprised when I applied this to my nails.

The formula was good, I used two coats here for full opacity. You do have to pay a bit of attention when applying Colette because these kinds of frosted finishes can have a tendency to show brush strokes, but nothing that isn’t manageable in this case.

Colette came with The Three Wishes Collection June 2014 Bombshell box.
