First Snow

DSC00623

No, it unfortunately (fortunately?) has not snowed in Madison yet, although it seems that much of northern Wisconsin was covered in snow this past weekend. I'm not a huge fan of snow on the ground anyway, but I do like the idea on my nails!

Julep sent me* this beautiful dark teal as well as a few other colors I'll post about soon. I've been a long time fan of the brand, and the colors I received did not disappoint. For those of you who haven't heard of Julep, they are a nail polish company that can be found online, in Julep parlors across the country, and Sephora. If you become a Julep Maven, each month you are sent a box of 2-3 nail polishes as well as a few extras (I've received glitter pots, hand lotion and nail polish remover pads). The thing that drew me to Julep versus other beauty boxes is that you get to see what you are going to receive each month, you can switch to a different box if you don't like the one chosen for you, or you can opt out completely of that month if you decide you don't want anything that month.

If you are interested in becoming a Julep Maven, you can take the beauty quiz here to get started. If you are interested in purchasing nail polishes separately from the Maven program, you can use the code VIP20 to receive 20% off any purchase greater than $20.

Color Run Manicure

As you can see, we look ridiculous...and awesome. I got a full handful of pink thrown in my face (yum!...) right at the end, which is why I look like I'm glowing. Even though it was raining, we had so much fun! If you ever get the chance to do the Color Run/Color Me Rad races, sign up!

Fade

I used two polishes to do this. The pinkie is all white and the thumb is grey, and then I just mixed the polishes for each finger to create the in between shades. Much cheaper than buying five different polishes!

U-Rah-Rah

This weekend is the first Badger game of the season and I'm so excited. I was in the UW Marching band for 5 years (before you laugh, go watch this - can you spot me? I have blond hair!) and this weekend is also Alumni Band so we all get to relive "the glory days". All my friends are coming into town so I'm really happy to see everyone - I miss them so much :(

Enough sob stories, here's the manicure, all ready for a weekend of celebrating my alma mater.

Glitter: Essie Set in Stone - looks green because of my yard :(
