Julep Maven Sea Salt Polish Review

Oh texture nail polish.....how I love thee....and thank you Julep for my sea salt textured nail polish!
When I received my Julep Mystery Box in the mail, I quickly tried this sea salt polish out to see what fun was contained in the bottle.  I was that happy.  But, this polish needs more than a quick paint over my current mani.  It needs its own quality time!

Jill and Vivien
In the bottle, Jill looks like a simple beige-y brown cream nail polish.  It goes on thick, to the point where you could almost use one coat.  I never feel comfortable with one coat, so I used two.  The polish goes on like a cream, but almost like when you put on polish a bit too aggressively and it gets air bubble bumps.  As it dries, the texture really develops.  

The texture is still a flat cream with a texture that is comparable to a fine grit nail file.  It has a nice feel to it and after almost 2 full days wearing it, not a single chip off these suckers!


I like the mix of texture in this mani with the glitter, if I do say so myself.  Vivien is a gold micro glitter with larger hex glitter mixed in.....I had the worst trouble getting this to photograph properly with sea salt polish at the same time.  Apologies.  

Overall, I like the Julep Sea Salt Finish nail polish.  I hope they plan on making it available outside of the mystery box as I would love to try the black one that had silver glitter mixed in to compare.
