December Julep Maven Box & I'm A Golden Box Winner!

I became a Maven only a couple months ago. I heard that they gave a few people every month a golden box with either the monthly collection or a big seller but seeing how I have only 2 monthly boxes under my belt I did not think I'd be seeing a golden box at my front door anytime soon. I received an extra tracking number with my monthly box but since I placed an order after my December Box I thought that thing were just shipped apart but boy was I wrong!

I felt like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opening the bigger box and seeing a golden ribbon wrapped around a white box. I opened the box and saw that I was a lucky Maven!

I won the This limited-edition white lacquer jewelry box that includes a twelve polish set of toxin-free Julep nail colors hand-picked by Oprah herself (Oprah is really into pink it seems!) and a lovely green yarn wishbone bracelet.

The goodie boxes that came to my door, I always keep the boxes. They are very handing when you need to ship something, just the right size for most things I need to ship this Christmas too!

The December Box goodies.

 I went with American Beauty instead of my Classic with a Twist box and I am truth be told regretting it. I liked the look of Patti (the black polish) when I picked the box but once I got it and have it a try I am just not digging it. It may just be the wrong time of the year for it too though, I have Christmas on the mind and it just does not fit. This box also came with a freebie DIY ring for a holiday gift from Julep but sadly mine was broken when I opened the box. Julep will be sending me a replacement shortly though!
 *update* I got my ring, see what I did with it here! *update*

Julia oddly is my favorite from this box, I did not think I was going to like but I really do. I think this color is going to be great for New Years with my add-on Vivien.

Patti, Patti, Patti... oh Patti. I want to like you but you make it so hard to, you are just not a lovely polish.

The foot scrub is awesome, I had my fiance use it and he loves it too. I think he likes it more then me :)

The bracelet that with golden box. I almost bough this for myself on Black Friday but did not, I thought it was pretty neat that it came with the box. As you can see the colors match my engagement ring perfectly! From what I saw I was the only one that got green, looks like the other winners got purple.

The box is really awesome too, it is great as a jewelry box.

I have a tall standing jewelry box but this will be nice to have by my bed for my favorite pieces.

After that Patti business I needed something girly, soft and wintery... also needed to play with some of those colors from that lovely box! I applied Carrie as my base color, Audrey went just before my top cost.

I was thinking kinda a pink winter night so I used Amy as my sky and Susie as my snow.

Amy on top and Susie on sponge, after my base coat was dry I rolled it over my nails from side to side.

Audrey went one top to give it some shimmer and then I applied my top coat.

Clean up your nails and you are done!
