Follow Up: Julep Maven

So...this is a follow-up post to my review of the Julep Maven nail polishes and my total disappointment in the quality of the polish.

I contacted customer service on Thursday July 26th, and received a response on the following Monday.  I thought this was pretty swift, and the email was nice and informative.  They apologized for my polishes, gave me ideas of how to fix them (even though I already knew how and had done it, but I'll get to that later), and they offered to give me a new polish BEFORE I paid for my first Maven Box this month, which I just realized I forgot to mention in the previous post!  Whoops!

I'm waiting on my free polish.  It should be here today.  I do NOT hold the power to the mailbox, so I have to wait for someone else to get home before I can try it out.  Oh, the suspense!

Back to my 'whoopsies,' I think I mentioned in the last post that I had to put acetone in the polishes to get them to cover my nail.  Well, I decided to add more acetone and let them sit for about a week.  I checked on them a couple of days ago.  The Courtney (the green one) was perfect, but the Hayden (peach creme) was still a little chunky so I added more acetone.  We'll check back on her in a few more days.

I don't know how I forgot this, but there is an introductory coupon code for new Mavens so you can get the first month for $0.01.  Yes, that's one penny!  The coupon code is the word penny.  It works like a charm, and it made me feel thrifty for 24 hours until I spent a ridiculous amount of money on make-up.  I'm a girl trying to stay 'beautified' in this world.  What can you do?  Oh, and this single penny I paid for my first box made absolutely no difference in the customer service I received.  Go Julep!  Your C+ just turned into a B!

Saucy!

Oh, here's a picture of my most recent manicure.  It's a mixture of polishes: Essie-->No Place Like Chrome, Nicole by Opi--> Look at Me, Look at Me (part of the Kardashian collection, if you couldn't tell by the name), and Wet N Wild--> I Need a Refreshe-Mint.  FYI: The quality of Wet N Wild is horrible!  It's only been a day and a half, it's already chipping, and I'm thinking about replacing it!  Cheapster! But...it IS pretty though...
