In the April 2014 issue of Allure, nail blogger Jessica Washick used three contrasting hues to create a host of looks. The colors she used are: Julep's Malia, Rimmel London's Mintilicious, and Tom Ford's Beauty Sugar Dune.

Julep has also created the new Plie Wand. It's weighted for stability and the magnetic end swivels 90-degrees so your wrists don't have to.
