Alphabet Challenge: H is for Helena by Julep - Swatches and Review

The lovely Gosia from Life In Color started a nail challenge that I am so exited to join! Check out her post HERE for all the details and rules, but in a nutshell, we will be posting our polishes in alphabetical order by color name. 

Today I am wearing Julep Helena. Julep describes it as an "ultra saturated fuchsia." It applies perfectly in 2 coats and dries semi matte so I added 1 coat of Out the Door Top Coat.

I got Helena in my first Julep Maven Box, the It Girl Intro Box.  I also got Heather, that you can see Here  in an older post, for a bonus H polish :)

I always have trouble capturing fuchsias in photos.  These photos are pretty accurate of how Helena looks in the sun, but I couldn't capture her darker side.  Indoors, under artificial light it is much more of a purple fuchsia, rather than the pink fuchsia you see in the sun.  It is a very pretty polish.  I'm glad I finally got around to trying it!
