I’ll wait until you shove your eyes back into your head. For my base I used Julep Padma, a vampy purple with some subtle shimmer. It does look like a crème in most light but when you move your hand you can catch some glimpses of a gorgeous deep glow. The formula was really nice on this one, it could be a one coater if you apply carefully. I used 2 coats on my ring and 1 coat as my base on all the others. Sadly, this color has been discontinued.

I had been waiting patiently (probably a couple years) to get my hands on Julep Brooke, an ethereal purple flake topper. Finally, Julep held a sale where they offered some of their rare colors for insane prices, the catch was they only had a few of each since most had been discontinued. Somehow I was lucky enough to see the sale before it was advertised and snatched up a few of my ISOs! Brooke is everything I hoped she be! It’s a little thick, just a touch, but I find a lot of flakey topcoats to be like that, I think it’s just the way the particles are suspended in the base. But it applied nicely, this is 2 coats.

I applied a 3mm opal jewel to my ring finger and as soon as I applied it I regretted it lol I don’t think it adds to the look of this mani but instead is just kind of blah. I hate when that happens!

Even with the jewel I am still loving the way this turned out, it’s purple so I was definitely going to love it but something about Brooke just does it for me!
