St. Patrick's Day is this Saturday and I have a few greens in my untrieds to wear so this week will be green week here at Doing My Nails. First up is Julep Leah. I got this as a part of my Maven box in...January? Let's say January. The polish in the bottle is so pretty, but once on the nail...meh.
Leah is a kelly green creme with just the hint of green and silver shimmer. I actually think this color reminds me more of grass then anything. The color above isn't the true color of the polish, and I didn't really get it with the second picture below, but it's MUCH closer. The shimmer just doesn't really show up. The green just kind of swallows it up.
The formula on this was crap. Thick but thin somehow. Streaky as hell. Dried slowly. It also dried a little flat. Not matte, but just flat. Top coat is definitely needed if you want this shiny, and having it shiny is the only way you'll see the little bit of shimmer.
The polish is bright and very spring-like. There, something positive about it. I don't know how this looks on me. I like the color but maybe not on me? I don't know. Again, meh.
