Manicure Monday

I tried out another Julep nail polish and wasn't sure if I was going to like it. It's a satin finish which means it's in between matte and shiny. I used a base coat and two coats of the nail polish. I didn't use a top coat because then it wouldn't be satin anymore, it would be shiney. I love shiney nail polishes and I was nervous to not use a top coat. 

I was very surprised by how much I loved this polish. The formula was great and the satin finish was very nice. I also loved the navy blue color. It has lasted longer than I expected without a top coat. 

I'm thinking I want to try others with a satin finish. What type of finish do you like on nails?  Matte, satin, or shiney?

Thanks for reading!
