Hubby's Picks: The one with chewed up bubblegum (HP10)

So two tings. One is that I realized I was using HB to name my Hubby's Picks when I should have been using HP. Ooops :) The second is I realized why I don't like Sally Hasen Trust Mauve. It looks like chewed up bublegum that someone stuck on a table and it sat in the sun. Mmmm yum right? Anyhow onto the good stuff:

Layering: Since Zoya Kotori and Wet N' Wild Blue Wants To Be A Billionaire (good grief that name is looooooong) are both sheer blues with micro glitter particles I decided to simply layer them. That looked AMAZING!

 This is slightly blurred so you can see all those deep blue and holographic particles interacting. Next I dotted Sally Hansen Trust Mauve on my nail line - honestly it has a truly fantastic formula. It's pretty sheer painted on it's own but builds beautifully. It just looks like chewed up bubblegum.

Then I tipped it with Wet N' Wild Ready To Pounce. Now Ready To Pounce is a gorgeous and deeply rich purple that glows with depth...and chips nearly instantly. So sad for such an intensely beautiful purple.

All in all not my favorite Hubby's Picks but totally not the worst (remember the spider?). Hope your summer is going great!

Upload Winner: Julep Drew and Julep cuticle oil

So Julep did a Maven contest about 2 weeks ago where the first 10 people to upload their Maven story videos won a Julep color of choice and a cuticle oil. Mine sucks, but I didn't have time to change, plan or do anything except click that button as fast as I could. So no judging if you come across it ;) Oh the levels we will stoop to for nail polish. At any rate I won and let my hubby pick out my color....and he picked pink.....oh joy. EXCEPT it turned out to be a really awesome color!!

Julep has never failed me on the formula. Silky-smooth and gorgeous application this nail polish is opaque with one coat. I do two out of habit. Also that is Drew stamped over Wet N' Wild Blue Wants to be a Billionaire. Stamped wonderfully!

This is what I won - I really like the cuticle oil. It has a roller ball top and smells like a mixture of lavender and lemongrass. It's applies nicely and really moisturizes my cuticles. At 18.00 it's a bit spendy but I actually might buy it since I use it way more then my balm now.

In closing this haul is AMAZING and my kids are driving me crazy. It probably has to do with the very little sleep I got last night. Or the fact that my son knows his birthday is tomorrow and won't stop reminding me about it (would it be wrong to give him nail polish?). Or the fact that the toddler is a toddler. Or all over the above....I need coffee.....
