I ordered an add-on in this month's Julep box, and even though I didn't receive half of the box's products, I did receive my add-on.
It was this Black Latex finish polish called "Cleopatra". I used my Julep points to get it free.
It's a sweet, sweet finish. Way better than the Illamasqua rubber finish in terms of the final look.
The finish is nearly matte but it holds up better than the matte polishes/topcoats I've used.
I definitely suggest this polish to anyone looking for neat finishes that hold up better than a matte finish.

This product was one of Sephora's picks a few weeks ago. I read the title "Rubber Finish Nail Varnish" and knew I had to have it. I ordered the dark green color called "Kink."
The box it came in is sophisticated and the bottle has an awesome rubberized cap on it. I had high expectations as a result.
Unfortunately I was let down. The "innovative rubber-like finish" isn't innovative or rubber-like at all. It's not shiny. It's not matte. It simply looks like cheap polish.
The coverage is decent in one coat, though no better than the Maybelline polish I discussed in an earlier post (which costs $10 LESS than this one).
At $14 a bottle, I expected a cool rubberized effect like the cap on the bottle. That's not what you get.
My other half says it does look kind of rubbery. He liked it. But he admitted it was the color he liked most. I agree this is a nice green.
This polish does a decent job stamping however the color isn't as rich (check out my manicure from Sept 30th).
