Attention Nail Polish Addicts

Most of us are familiar by now with the “Mint” brands popping up for everything from jewelry to shoes. JewelMint, ShoeMint, StyleMint, and BeautyMint. A friend and I were talking about the need for a LacquerMint, a membership site for polish addicts. Well, there isn’t a “Mint” brand for that, but there is Julep Maven.

I’m a recent member of the new Julep Maven program, and this weekend they announced Share On, their new referral program which rewards Maven’s for sharing the Maven Program with their polish addict friends.

So what is Julep, and what is a Maven? Well very briefly, Julep started as a nail parlor in Seattle focusing on all natural nail care. No artificial nails in this salon and no bad chemicals in their polishes either. Just recently Jane, the founder, started the Maven program which works much like the other subscription sites. You pay a $19.99 monthly fee for a customized box of polishes based on a style quiz you take. Each box typically includes two polishes, a body care or nail care item, and sometimes another special goody. For December, I got a little pot of nail glitter as my extra goody.

For those commitment-phobes out there, you always have the option to skip the month, request a new box {aka “shelf pull”}, send your box to a friend or cancel your membership at any time, at no cost.

Here’s the exciting part. Right now Julep is offering an intro price for new Mavens through this link. Get your first Maven box for only 1 CENT with coupon code SHAREON.. Yep, that’s one penny, ladies — regularly $19.99. But, this offer is only good for the first 1,000 people to jump on board.

You’ve got nothing to lose. If you decide Maven isn’t for you after you receive your intro box, all you have to do is cancel your membership.

If you decide to continue your Maven subscription, you can share your referral link with friends, and for every two that become a Maven, you earn a free box.

My December box included a beautiful fushia polish called Helena. I absolutely love this polish and got tons of compliments on it when I wore it last week.

I’d love to know what you think about beauty subscription services and what you’re currently subscribing to.
