Metallic Polish- August Maven box from Julep

So this is my second Julep box and I am LOVING it!! Yes, it is a bit expensive compared to other monthly subscription boxes, but you get to pick what you like and they aren't sample sizes. The polishes themselves could be a bit larger, but the consistency is great and you don't need so many layers of polish to get great coverage. SO...as far as the title of the blog... I just received my August Maven box which is metallic shades. These colors are amazing!! We got to add 3 add-ons for $4.99 each, and I got all three, wish I could have added more. This time they came in a cute lil pink box with an adorable tote bag that had my polishes ( I was hoping they'd throw in a lil extra but I was satisfied anyways). So I got the IT-Girl polishes which I like because they have three polishes instead of two.

From left to right we have Sienna ( a GORGEOUS gold metallic with shimmer), Harley (liquid silver chrome) and Melanie (pastel blue chrome). These colors were amazing. I was not dissapointed with a single one. I did use the Sienna already....and I LOVE this color. It is so pretty!! 
These were my add-ons. Like I stated above we could add these to our box for an additional $4.99  but cool thing is we actually got one add-on for FREE!! Aren't they awesome!! :) So from left to right we have Piper-from the Boho Glam collection (its a mint metallic chrome color) , Dakota-from American Beauty (rose gold metallic) and Stefani -also from the American Beauty ( dark gray with gold flecks). I SOO wish we could have added more add ons for the price. There are a few I regret not getting, but maybe they'll do a mystery box and I might get lucky!!
Over all, I think these colors are amazing!! I'm probably going to cancel another sample box to make sure I keep this one!! I'm really enjoying being a Maven :). Here's my mani for the day using Sienna and Piper. Enjoy and have a great day!!

Since I don't have one of those wheels to display colors, this will have to do in the mean time. Hope it helps!
