December 2012 Julep Maven Box Swatches & Review – Bombshell

I seriously love the holiday season.  How pretty are the beauty releases?  The makeup, the nail polish… even the skin care glows.  Glitter and glam just makes me smile.  Warms my heart!

For December 2012 Julep even tossed a fun craft into the Maven Box!  And, although it was quite tasty, I’m not talking about the peppermint.  In addition to two gorgeous nail polishes and a warming foot scrub, they also included a ring and instructions to make your own nail polish jewelry!

The two polishes included in the Bombshell Box for this month are Cindy and Hilary.  Cindy is a beautiful apple green shimmer and Hilary has a clear base with copper and gold glitters.

Also included for this month is a warming foot scrub (my freezing feets thank you!) and a ring with a Cabochon stone to create your own bling!

Creating nail polish jewelry has always intrigued me.  I’m not the craftiest person you’ll ever meet, so I never even looked into it.  But, let me tell you, it’s addicting!  I thought my ring turned out pretty cute:

When my hubs came home I made him push in the prongs better so the stone wouldn’t pop out.  If tools are involved I’ve learned it is smart to wait.
