Julep: Simone Swatch & Review

Color Description
Soft pastel lilac opalescent shimmer

What makes Julep Nail Color so great?
Julep Nail Color is “4-free” and does not contain formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, or DBP. Our professional chip-resistant formulation is fast drying and highly pigmented. Julep nail color is a fun way to make the season’s latest shades accessible to everyone. And because we’ve tested our trend-setting toxin-free colors and products in over 100,000 manicures and pedicures in our parlors, we have a good idea of what works and what our clients love.

Review 

Julep Simone is part of the It Girl Starter box, which is made up of Simone, Stefani, and Carly. It is a very pretty shade and is perfect for the spring time. The chipping is considerably less than OPI, and Sephora by OPI. Julep Nail Vernis are quite small. Sephora by OPI nail polishes are 0.5 oz (14.7 ml) for about $9.50 retail. Julep is .27fl oz (or 8ml) for $14 retail. They are half the size of Sephora by OPI for about 50% more.

Simone is described as "Soft pastel lilac opalescent shimmer".

Soft pastel? yes

lilac? yes

Opalescent? not as much as other brands but yes

Shimmer?  just slight enough

Dry Time

Less than 5 minutes: A+

Formula

Standard like all Julep nailpolish, be careful with making it even as strokes will show: B+
