I sort of wish they would come out with different colored boxes for the whole collection.  I would really like to see black or red!

Yes, I believe so.  That is supposed to be part of the appeal of the Maven program, as we got the polishes before they are released to the general public.  Although that was not the case with the suede finish polishes, as they were available at Sephora before we received them (I seem to remember reading that here).  I've only been subscribed for a few months though, so someone else may have better info.

It's the draw, but they have had repeats before. Several of them, in fact. I specifically recall Sienna and Leighton in multiple months.
 
I'm not that impressed with the colors but I really want to try their base and top coat so I opted for the Bombshell box.

Does anyone know if you can pay for the box partially with Jules?

 
I decided to get the upgrade my goal this year is to get every new polish julep puts out for 2013. Even if it's a color I don't like. This way I can try new colors that I normally wouldn't buy and expand my collection. Plus that box!!

We are order twins. Julep really knew me when they did Classic with a Twist, this month. I guess their profiling me was accurate. I could not resist Ginger, as I love sparkly fleshy colors that are sort of nude-ish but also sparkly.

I agree. I decided to try bombshell this month to get Ginger and the base coat instead of my regular it girl box. I also added Jane, Oscar, and Rebel because I couldn't help it. At least I was able to use Jules to get one of the add-ons for free :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What exactly is a "holographic" color? Is it like a metallic?
If you've ever had Pokemon cards (ahaha) they literally look holographic, like the foil:

I'm not sure how huge the effect Rebel and Ginger will have since they're more subdued colours to begin with.

OK - Really excited now! Thanks! I agree- not sure how those colors will be, but I'm sure they will still be pretty even if they are subdued. Thanks!!

 
I wasnt sure whether to get my regular it girl box or to get the full upgrade, but the hubby said to go for the full upgrade. Im so happy this is my first time getting an upgrade!

I don't see them looking like a holo in the swatches though, that has me on the fence :S
Julep's swatches are rubbish. They're too small and half the time they don't look like what they do in person either.

I am wondering what's in the secret store this month though... hm...
