Review: Julep DD crème

Julep's new DD crème arrived on my doorstep just a few days ago ... and look at me, all on the ball, posting a review almost right away. Cue Twilight Zone music. ;)

(Gotta wonder, though: Why "DD crème" and not "DD cream"? Who's going to put the accent mark on there aside from obsessive people like me? Won't people Google "DD cream" instead? And are we supposed to pronounce it with a French accent? Anyway...)

Julep's new "better than BB cream" offering ... Is it really?

Nails: Pastel sparkles

My current nail polish is inspired by an anime I'm watching. (A really really ridiculous one, so I'm not going to say what it is. If you can guess it, then points to you!) That is, the colors are inspired by it, but it's not really recognizable as an anime reference; I was too lazy to do an actual design and I don't have any silver polish right now. Pretty funny, since silver was a staple for me in the 90s. Anyway, the look is a bit unicorn-y, isn't it?

Blue accent nail: Julep Julianne (blue base), Sephora by OPI Hollywood If I Could (glitter). White nails: Sally Hansen Smooth & Perfect Color + Care in color Fog, Sephora by OPI Meet Me at the Disco (glittery tips).

And yes, I've cut my scary-long nails since the last time I posted a nail update! Hurray! No more claws! I decided to learn to play the guitar, so off the nails had to go. Actually, these are grown out a bit too long for guitar. I haven't practiced for a couple of weeks. ;)

The polish is a little bubbly because I forgot not to use the Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Diamond Shine as a top coat (DOH), but it's not as bad as that first fail.
