(MUSIC).
OKAY, LADIES, WE ALL LOVE TO GET A MANICURE, RIGHT?
BUT LET'S FACE IT.
WHO HAS TIME TO HEAD TO THE SALON, PLUS I LOVE TO CHANGE UP MY COLOR, DEPENDING ON MY
MOOD OR MY OUTFIT, AND THAT'S WHY AN AT-HOME MANICURE MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.
BUT FULL DISCLOSURE!
WE MAKE LITTLE MISTAKES, NATURALLY!
SO JUST HOW DO YOU GET THE PERFECT HOME MANICURE?
WELL, WE'VE GOT THE IDEAL GUEST HERE IN THE STUDIO TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
IT'S JANE PARK, CEO OF THE FABULOUS JULEP BEAUTY, AND JANE, IT'S SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU
IN THE STUDIO!
THANKS FOR HAVING ME!
IT'S SO FUN TO BE HERE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A REALLY FUN SEGMENT.
YOU HAVE A GREAT STORY OF HOW YOU CREATED THIS COMPANY, AND I WANT OUR AUDIENCE TO HEAR
THAT.
WELL, I WAS WORKING AT STARBUCKS, AND I HAD THIS AMAZING GIRLS' WEEKEND WITH TWO OF MY
BEST FRIENDS, AND UH, WE GOT TOGETHER AND HAD A GREAT WEEKEND WITH MANIS AND PEDIS--.
OH, FUN.
--AND WE WERE PICKING THE RIGHT COLORS FOR EACH OTHER, AND SO I WAS REALLY INSPIRED TO
START A COMPANY THAT WAS ALL ABOUT BEAUTY AS CONNECTION.
THAT'S SO COOL.
WOMEN CONNECTING, NOT COMPETING.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT AND I AM SO IMPRESSED BY THE HEALTHY FORMULA THAT YOU'VE
PUT TOGETHER FOR THESE POLISHES AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
I'M A MOM, AND I KNOW YOU ARE TOO--.
MM HMM.
--AND WE REALLY WANT THE BEST FOR OUR GIRLS, AND SO, OUR POLISHES ARE FREE OF FORMALDEHYDE,
TOLULENE, DBP...OF CARCINOGENS.
SO WHO SAYS THAT NAIL COLOR HAS TO BE BAD FOR YOU, RIGHT?
I REALLY WANTED TO CREATE A NAIL COLOR THAT WAS GOOD FOR YOUR NAILS--.
WOW.
--SO OURS ACTUALLY INCORPORATES OXYGEN TECHNOLOGY SO 30% MORE OXYGEN GETS TO YOUR NAILS.
THIS IS CLINICALLY PROVEN.
AND IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR NAILS.
IT'S LIKE NAIL TREATMENT AND NAIL STRENGTHENER WITH COLOR, WITH REALLY RICH PIGMENT COLOR
BUILT IN.
THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.
I MEAN, WE'RE JUST TALKING BREATHABLE; I KNOW THIS IS GLUTEN-FREE--.
(LAUGHTER).
--AND CHEMICAL-FREE, ALL OF THESE GREAT THINGS.
BUT LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIFUL SHADES.
I MEAN, HOW MANY SHADES ARE THERE?
WE ACTUALLY DEVELOP TEN NEW POLISH COLORS EVERY MONTH, BECAUSE WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE
ACCESS TO THE LATEST TRENDS.
SOMETIMES I WANT THAT RUNWAY PURSE, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD IT, SO--.
(LAUGHTER) RIGHT.
--HAVING A GREAT COLOR IS AN AMAZING WAY TO CHANGE UP YOUR WARDROBE AND IT'S AFFORDABLE
AND IT'S FUN.
AND HOW MANY SHADES DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE AT THIS POINT?
UH, WE DO OVER 300 NEW PRODUCTS A YEAR--.
WOW.
--AND IN POLISHES, WE HAVE ABOUT 400 SHADES.
SO, I CAN JUST CHANGE MY MOOD ALMOST EVERYDAY, IF I WANT.
(LAUGHTER) ABSOLUTELY!
CAUSE DON'T WE?
YEAH!
WE DO!
AND THIS LOOKS LIKE AN AMAZING TOOL THAT I NEED.
TELL ME HOW YOU DEVELOPED THIS.
SO, WE DEVELOPED THE JULEP PLIE WAND BECAUSE WOMEN ARE ALWAYS TELLING ME, "I'M BAD AT POLISHING
MY NAILS."
THAT'S ME.
(LAUGHTER).
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
AS WOMEN, WE ALWAYS BLAME OURSELVES WHEN MEN BLAME THE TOOL, RIGHT?
RIGHT.
(LAUGHTER) SO THE ISSUE WITH POLISHING YOUR NAILS IS THAT USUALLY THE CAP IS REALLY STUBBY.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A PENCIL WHEN IT'S THAT SHORT?
CHUCK IT!
YOU THROW IT OUT!
AND YOU DEFINITELY DON'T WANT A DOCTOR DOING SURGERY ON YOU WITH A TOOL (LAUGHS) THAT SMALL.
SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE LOOKED AT THE ERGONOMICS OF IT, WORKING WITH AN ERGONOMIC EXPERT, AND
WE CREATED A WAY...TA DAH!
WONDERFUL.
...WHERE NOW, YOU CAN HAVE THE STABILITY AND CONTROL OF A FINE PAINTING BRUSH, AND WHAT'S
GREAT ABOUT THE JULEP PLIE WAND IS IT'S CALLED "PLIE" BECAUSE...
OH YEAH!
TA DAH!
IT BENDS.
AND THAT GIVES YOU--.
FOR MY OTHER HAND!
YES!
IN YOUR NON-DOMINANT HAND, IT ENABLES THE TOOL TO REST IN THE CROOK OF YOUR HAND, AND
NOW I HAVE SO MUCH MORE CONTROL, I CAN POLISH LIKE A SALON AND NOW I SEE THIS WAND AND I
JUST SEE A BIG YUMMY GLASS OF WINE CAUSE THAT'S HOW I DO IT--.
(LAUGHTER).
--AT THE END OF THE DAY!
THAT'S GREAT.
AND REALLY I DID THIS MANICURE MYSELF IN TEN MINUTES BEFORE I CAME ON AIR.
(LAUGHTER).
OH, MY GOSH.
ARE YOU READY TO GIVE IT A TRY?
LET'S DO IT.
(MUSIC) SO YOU'VE PICKED "BERGEN"--.
BERGEN.
--THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR, SO YOU JUST SNAP IT IN--.
WOW.
EASY.
THAT'S SO EASY.
--AND YOU GO.
HERE I GO.
AND THIS POLISH IS SO FAST DRYING.
IT'S GREAT THAT IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR NAILS, BUT ALSO SO FAST.
(MUSIC).
LOOK HOW GREAT YOU ARE AT THIS.
YOU'RE AMAZING!
(MUSIC).
SO NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO YOUR NON-DOMINANT HAND, SO YOU JUST BEND.
OH!
EASY.
THERE YOU GO!
OH MY GOSH.
IT'S A PLIE.
OH MY GOSH, THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER!
YOU'RE ABLE TO GET A LOT MORE PRECISION WITH THIS TOOL--.
YES!
--BECAUSE YOU'RE ABLE TO HAVE GRAVITY WORKING WITH YOU.
WHAT A COOL COLOR, TOO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
THEY'RE ALREADY DRY.
THAT IS--.
YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.
--SO COOL!
(LAUGHTER).
AND I'M EQUALLY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR COMPANY'S MISSION.
TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
AT JULEP, WE SAY THAT WE'RE POWERED BY GIRLFRIENDS, AND SO WE NAME ALL OF OUR COLORS AFTER WOMEN
WHO INSPIRE US.
AND WE ALSO DONATE A PERCENTAGE OF PROCEEDS TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT EMPOWER WOMEN.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE CREATED THIS AMAZING COLOR, MALALA, EARLIER THIS SPRING, AND WE'RE DONATING
100% OF PROCEEDS TO HER FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT GIRLS GETTING EDUCATION AROUND THE WORLD.
I JUST CAN'T TELL YOU HOW IMPRESSED I AM.
I'M NOT GOOD AT THIS, AND I THINK I DID A REALLY GOOD JOB.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
(CLAP) AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING IN THE STUDIO WITH US TODAY.
IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE.
YOU'RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION.
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.
(LAUGHTER).
OH, WELL THIS IS GREAT, LADIES.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE TOTALLY READY TO GET YOUR NAILS LOOKING GORGEOUS, JUST LIKE MINE.
