ENTRIES ON THIS GIVEAWAY ARE NOW CLOSED.
I’ve been so excited to share this giveaway with you this week — one of the best parts about having a (nearly) all female readership is that I can talk about girly stuff like this and know that you’ll all be just as excited as I am!
I have a major obsession lately with having pretty polished nails — considering I stare at my fingers typing away all day long, it helps to have them looking good. Can I admit that after I put on a new color, I find myself stopping and admiring my nails sometimes? Am I the only one?
Another polish related confession — I never wear the same color on my fingers as I do on my toes.
If you’re a chick in Seattle, you know about Julep Nail Parlor. Their locations around the city are to DIE for and always the place I turn to when I need some nail pampering. Julep is all about the girlfriends — there are usually chick-flicks like Sex and the City playing on the screens around the parlor and they even offer Mommy Mondays at their University Village and Bellevue locations so us mamas can get fixed up while the littles play (no nanny necessary — Julep provides the childcare!).
But, if you don’t live in Seattle to enjoy Julep in person, never fear, my polish loving friends!
Julep just launched a gorgeous new website this month where you can browse and buy all their pretty polishes and nail care products (more on those next month! hint hint!). My favorite part of Julep’s new site is the color gradient on the front page where you can scroll through the newest colors (Dendri and Toni are my current obsessions!). Did you notice that all of Julep’s colors are named after women? Love it.
Other details about Julep that I love –
All Julep polishes are toluene-free, formaldehyde-free and DBP-free, so your nails are safe from harmful chemicals that cause long-term damage. (and you can even use them on your little girls at home!)
CEO Jane Park writes a fun blog about fashion, beauty, running a business as a woman and of course, great polishes! Read See Jane (Park) Run HERE.
Julep donates $1 from every polish sold to organizations that empower women.
The square bottles that the polishes come in are so sophisticated and sleek — they make me want to keep them out on my dresser, rather than shove them in my linen closet with the rest of my collection!
Okay, here’s the fun part — Julep wants to share a few of their favorites from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection with Being5 readers! Included in this sweet little polish set are three full-sized polish colors — Gloria, Amy and Natalie. Each polish is a $14 value and one winner will get all three polishes.

shmmry17@hotmail.com! My daughter and I just got done painting our nails. There are a lot of great deals out there right now for nail polish but NONE of those choices are this beautiful!
05/11/2011 at 12:17 pm |
OK.
Current favorite color: “Drew” – absolutely the most perfect spring pink that’s bright enough to compete with my darker skin and pink enough that it’s not orange (which I also love, in their “Uma” that seems to be discontinued) – DONE.
Like Julep? I wish FB would let me LOVE Julep. DONE.
Email above. Except that I’m already on their mailing list. Twice. DONE.

Um, uh. I put my email in the comments form for you. But do I really have to put it *here*? Like on the interwebs for the whole interwebs to see…and the interweb spiders to crawl and lift it for their various spam generators? Really? Please say no.

I visited Julep’s website, and there are just SO many fabulous nail-colors, how does one decide on just ONE? *frowns* Ok, I’ve narrowed it down to my top 3.
1) Sienna – Now that it’s Spring and the sun is out,this shimmery gold is PERFECT to dazzle. I imagine wearing it with a simple white cotton dress – the ONLY accessory you’d need. Delish!
2) Catherine – I love that deep shade of red.I associate that with a black dress, date night, smokey make-up and SEXINESS!
3) Gwenyth – that pink blush is just perfect for a classy, spring manicure.
