Julep took a five-year-long hiatus—and is now back, to align with the clean beauty trend—and has launched a 21-free Gel Nail Polish Collection.

The brand says its new clean nail lacquer formula is “groundbreaking.” It’s designed to deliver a quick air-drying, salon-quality, long-lasting shine, without any toxic or controversial ingredients. 

The collection includes nine curated shades—and a specially designed round brush for smoother, easier applicatio­n.  

Shade names are:

• Sweet as Sugar
• Petal Pink
• Natural Nude
• Barely Beige
• Tippy Taupe
• Lovely Latte
• Bubbly Berry
• Express Espresso
• Chill Out Cherry

Sara Mitzner, VP of Brand Marketing at AS Beauty, Julep’s parent company, comments, “What many people don’t know is that Julep actually started as a nail polish brand. We’re so excited to bring Julep Beauty back to its original roots – but with a modern, clean twist that resonates with today’s beauty consumers.”

The 21-Free formula doesn’t include formaldehyde, parabens, cyclic silicones, phthalates, and more—and it’s one of the cleanest nail lacquers on the market, the brand says.
