I was blessed to receive Julep polishes long and I mean long time ago from a friend.

I already reviewed Renee from the far left and Georgia in the middle. For this post, I will review the one on the far right.
This is Julep in Sally. Since I did a thorough review of Julep in Renee, I will base this on that.
Here's a closer look at the polish. The website describes it as "antique ivory creme." I definitely agree it's ivory creme but I'm not too sure what antique is suppose to look like. It's also very true to color!
Here's a closer look at the brush. Compared to OPI my perfect medium brush, the width is thinner. The length is the same as OPI.
I applied OPI Nail Envy in Original, Formula X For Sephora Base Coat, 2 coats of Julep in Sally, and topped it off with Butter London Hardwear P.D. Quick Topcoat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all since I did a thorough review of Julep in Renee, I will base this on that. I found the polish a little bit thick. I'm not too sure if it's because it's a creme polish or because I've had this polish for quite some time. The first coat was a little bit streaky. For that reason, I went a little bit thicker for the second coat to have a smooth layer. Since it's on the thick side, I had to work quickly or it'll get clumpy. That's why it doesn't look that great around the cuticles. I know other people are better than I am when it comes to painting around the cuticles. Secondly after the application, it's not streaky and bubbly. It gives a nice, smooth layer. I found it very pretty. Plus, I love the color. I think it's unique or at least to me. Lastly, it lasted 6 days until I noticed slight chip at the tip of the nails. When I mean slight chip, it's extremely small to the point that it's not noticeable. I'm pretty impressed with this polish!

Would repurchase: Yes.

I've never tried this brand, as it's not available in Greece, but I love their bottles! So unique! :) x

I agree the bottles are unique, and I'm sure there's a lot of brands that are good we don't have here.
