But in between our summer fun I have still been trying to keep up with my summer beauty routine, and one of the ways I'm trying to save on my beauty regime this summer is by doing my own pedicures. I know getting your toes done is a true summer pleasure, but at close to $30 a treatment it can really add up fast!
To get started on perfecting my pedicures I consulted this article from Instyle, 10 Ways to Get the Perfect Pedicure, and it was so helpful. I would have never thought of dipping a makeup brush in nail polish remover to clean the polish around your toes but it works!

So what am I using to paint my toes this summer? I'm currently loving the Julep line of polishes, but at $14 a bottle these 3-free polishes are a splurge.
I'm an American Beauty - and I'm not complaining!
But what really drew me in to sign up for the Julep Maven program is the special promotion they are offering now which basically gives you one month of the Maven program for free! Just use the code PENNYINTRO and you can sign up for one month of this program for a PENNY!
Do you have a favorite polish this summer? Happy painting, sunning, and swimming this weekend!
