NOTD Monday - Julep Kelly

This weekend I sported a really fun look!  Classy and girly. :)  I kind of tried it on a whim on Thursday evening and it's held up really well.  3 days in and I can definitely go another, maybe 2!  It was so fun to create this.  I used Julep - Kelly.  

I had some trouble with the consistency. It was drying really fast, yet pooling at the cuticles.  I couldn't get the right amount on the brush to make it work..if it was a little bit it would dry right up and leave "pull marks" if it was too much it would pool.  In the end, I ended up with lots of bubbles. I'm really disappointed with that. I added 2 of Juleps top coats and the bubbles were MUCH less visible.  I know you can see them in the closeup, but you would never notice it unless you did a close inspection of my nail.  I'll give it another try when I'm not trying to rush because it's late and I"m trying to make sure my nails dry before I get to bed. ;)

 This is a really accurate representation of the colour.  SO pretty!  To recreate this look, you just freehand the white tip, it doesn't have to be perfect.  The line of silver is just a little bottle of Stickles glitter glue from my stash of neglected scrapbooking supplies.  I *LOVE* this look.  I have about 40 bottles of Stickles to play with and 10 bottles of perfect pearls and another 10 bottles of distress glitter!

 This is a stock picture from their site, pretty close (but much lighter) to what the shade looks like.

What do you think? :)
