JULEP HAND MODEL

Shanus — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 16:21:05 GMT

Colleen’s nails were long, strong and beautiful before Julep came to Q. The Perfect Formula rep used her nails as an example of an “after”.

So, who do you believe?

Uh oh, now Deanna...same nails from Perfect Formula rep’s presentation.

The Julep polishes I've tried wouldn't stay on my nails. I have some problems with cracking and splitting which I try to keep under control with moisturizing my nails and using the Perfect Formula gel coat under my colored polish. I just don't like the look of natural nails on me.......I have to have color, and the PF works better than others I've tried for a good thick base coat.

I have used both Perfect Formula and Julep and neither works for me. My nails are splitting as I get older and the only thing I found works is Nail Envy. It's true Deanna has beautiful nails from using the PF but Julep is a waist of money.

@luvmybeetle I think there are different formulas for Nail Envy, aren't there? Which one do you use?

I use the original nail strengthener mostly and always have it on. I never leave my nails bare. I also use the sensitive & peeling strengthener once in a while.

I don't believe anything this vendor says. I don't believe you can put vitamins and natural whatever in a polish and think it's going to help your nails. Anything you put on your nails is a chemical and not natural. I think Colleen and Deanna had long nails and has nothing to do with this product. If you ever noticed, I don't recall either of those models wearing nail polish on the set. I think that clear just makes their nails look yellow and awful.

I don't believe any of the claims. Long before there were shopping channels, Internet sellers, etc. I took my disgusting nails to my derm who suggested I stop wasting my money on products because I wasn't going to be happy with any results. He also didn't think I'd be all that happy with my natural nails, but at least I wouldn't have spent a wallet full of money on them!

For my nails at that time, he was right. I did use acrylics when I was working, just never long and exaggerated. They looked fine, but my weak nails certainly weren't heathier for them, so in retirement, I'm natural. I always use color on my toes, but not on my fingers. None of the newer producrs that tout treatments work for me. Wish one would, but my past experiments with them have left me cynical.

@Equuleus I don’t agree. Colleen’s nails look more yellow w/o the clear polish (PF Pink).

Perfect Nails did nothing and neither does Opi's Nail Envy. I am trying Julep. I will give a bottle to my DIL. I have nothing to lose. I use mostly Zoya Nail Polish... the base coats... do not keep the polish on and they chip by day 2 or 3. I notice they are peeling more but it could be my thyroid as mine has been removed and taking medication for life.

I think all these products are just hype.

I think I've tried everything for peeling nails, Perfect Formula made my nails WORSE and Julep did nothing. OPI's Gel Break or Citra 2 by Nail Tek have been the best. I wish there was a miracle product.

It chipped off too much for me. I did not care fore Julep polishes and the so called oxygen hype.

I like the Julep Oxygen Treatment set I got a while ago that contains a sheer pink and sheer lavender color. I only use them on my fingernails and often put on one coat of one color and a second of the other (no base or top coats). Whether there is any benefit to an oxygen treatment for the nails, I couldn’t tell you. The polish usually lasts me 3 days or so, which is remarkable for me.

On my toes, I do a traditional pedicure. For polish, I use Orly Bonder first (the best base coat I’ve found) followed by two coats of polish and OPI Top Coat. Most of my colors are OPI or Zoya. My pedicure can last 4 weeks before obvious growth appears.

I didn't care for the set of Julep mini polishes that Shawn did the design for the box. They were thick and not good at all. I returned them. My nails are better using the Julep oxygen nail treatment, but it could also be from the vitamins I am taking, etc. I always have my nails polished --I do them at least once a week.

@millieshops

I have had basically the same experiences with my nails as you! I love having color on my nails and always used polish my whole life. But as I have gotten older, my nails (like everything else) have changed --- gotten thin, brittle, peely, break easily --- and are just not nice looking at all. I used to get so many compliments on my nails and hands. I had to stop using all polish as they all seemed to make my nails worse! My nails have improved somewhat since going natural, but I don't like the look of them bare. But I'd rather have them be more healthy than to still use polish and damage them evwn more.

Julep and Nail Envy both did nothing for me. Julep chips in one day, Nail Envy peels off. I prefer NutraNail Nail Strengthener with green tea. You can pick it up at Walgreens.

If Colleen had nice nails before putting on Julep... they are probably in trouble now.

Julep is terrible.

@MJDinVegas Pedicure that lasts for 4 wks.? Geeeez. I need to trim my toenails every 2 wks. even though the polish still looks great. Quite aggravating to clip them and re-polish so often. 4 weeks, huh? I’d have 1/4” growth showing at cuticle.

@Wobin I have Perfect Formula on my nails now. It’s the 5th day...2 more and I trim very short, remove the gel coat, let nails breathe overnight and polish again the next day. I’m not reading anything about cuticle care. That’s where the nails grow from. I put oil on my cuticles and under the nail tip every night before bed...massaging it in well. Maybe that’s more helpful to achieving healthy nails than the gel coat, but I’m not tempting the Gods by changing products.

I really hope it works for you. I tried Perfect Formula twice, years apart. It did not work for me. Perhaps I need to focus more on the cuticles.
