Julep Hayden = YUCK!

Happy Friday!!

I want you all to enjoy your weekends so I want to just get this nasty polish out of the way so we can move on to bigger and better polish.  So this is a polish that caught my attention as soon as I saw it.  It was pretty much love at first sight.  I put it on my Wish List and low and behold, I ended up with not 1, but 2 bottles of this baby!  I received both of them in swaps and was ecstatic because I was going to wear it so much that I would have needed that back up bottle.  Boy was I wrong.  I swatched it on the my nail wheel and fell even deeper in love.  Then when I had my last Swatch Party, it was the first polish I put on and I was immediately disgusted after just 1 coat.
I wanted to just take it off and forget it ever happened, but I figured I owed it to you all to at least swatch it on the blog before giving it up completely.  I don't even know why I hate it so much, but I just do.  Even though the color is GORGEOUS, it for sure looks terrible on my skin tone.  I think this may be a better color for my toes rather than my hands.

If you like this color, I suggest you give it a go.  I can't complain about it at all other than the fact that it looks so yucky on ME; not anyone else I've seen.  The formula was fantastic and it applied so well in 2 coats.  I will try it on my toes and let you all know how it looks.  Now that the nasty is over, have a great night!

    Doesnt look that bad. You might try to stamp something over it, the effect might be better <3

    Awww that sucks you fell in love with it and then it wasn't meant to be. It doesn't look horrible, but it might look better on your toes as you said. It might actually work as a stamping polish though, I find Julep creme's tend to be good for stamping so there may be hope!
