Born 2 Pansy

I might have told you too many times that I love Jessica polishes. Sorry incase you're tired of hearing it, but I will say it again! I love me some Jessica's!

I have recently seen Jessica's at my local TJ Maxx, so you should check yours out incase they have them in. You can also purchase Jessica's here and Ninja Polish carries them as well. You can find them here.

But if you don't want to spend any money, check out my Jessica 200+ Followers Giveaway!

Soon as you apply these on your nails, you'll be wanting to own more!

Jessica Born 2 Pansy is a soft semi-sheer pale lilac color with many little glassfleck shimmers. The formula was perfect in 2 coats.

Born 2 Pansy was so hard to capture. The pictures here do no justice. The beauty of this polish in real life in amazing! You see all those little white speckles? Those little speckles are blue sort of glassfleck glitters which are almost duochrome. In some lighting, the shimmer turns into a purply-pink color. But just picture that. Gorgeous much? 

Have you been wanting to try some Jessica's?

Velvet Rose

Yes, that's right. Yet another Jessica polish. I'm telling you, I can't get enough of these! I wish I heard about this brand years ago. If I had, I bet more than 75% of my collection would be of this brand. Slowly but surely I am definitely building my tiny collection of Jessica's. I can't wait to get my hands on some more!

As usual. I couldn't expect anything less than perfection with this one. Like the many others, this one went on smoothly in 2 coats.

As you can see, Velvet Rose is a bright sort of frosted pearl'ish pink with slight yellow undertones. It's so beautiful! In the bottle it looks exactly like this, except once I swatched this onto my nail, it was even more vibrant. Thankfully the pictures came out accurate.

I usually tend to stay away from these kinds of finishes, the frosty pearly ones because I truly hate seeing brush strokes but I am so glad that I picked this up (I'm a bit OCD about that). I have been having such great luck with all these Jessica polishes and I hope my luck doesn't run out!

So how do you feel about frosted finishes and obvious brush strokes?

Movie Premier

I hope you all had a great July 4th weekend! I know I did.

I apologize because of my busy weekend I haven't been able to post, comment on blogs and reply to my comment. But I truly wish that this weekend went swell for you!

On the other hand, I mentioned that I have really been loving Jessica polishes. They are just so lovely!

So I left this creme-y smooth baby blue with just 1 coat. I didn't even want to touch it after 1 buttery coat. Who would've guessed this is 1 coat? Jessica polishes are so pigmented! It just blows my mind! I can't get enough of them!

Movie Premier is, like what I stated above, a light baby blue and almost seems a bit dusty but not quite. 1 coat for this baby and I can't get over it! I really hope that some of you purchase some of these Jessica's because they are truly worth the investment? (I mean, when isn't a great nail polish?) *Hint Hint* Maybe a Jessica giveaway?...

On the other hand, I just wanted to mention that my baby is turning 1 next month. Extremely happy and sad. He's growing so fast!

Well, I hope you have a great rest of the day!

Would you be interested in a Jessica giveaway?

Twinsie Tuesday: Favorite Brand

Are you serious? This week's Twinsie Tueday challenge: our favorite brand. Out of the 387598357984 many brands we are to only choose one brand? That is just madness!

Incase you didn't already know, my favorite favorite brand is OPI. OPI is probably is the brand that I own most of. I love OPI.

At first I couldn't make up my mind. After some long time thinking, I concluded that OPI is certainly my favorite. They have many different colors and a variety of finishes. They're easily accessible and not too expensive. They hold up for a long time and have awesome color pay off. Fortunately today I won't be doing any OPI's. I wanted to share with you a brand that I have been loving lately!

1 Coat

2 Coats

 

I have been loving Jessica Custom Colours lately. Look at that 1 coat beauty above. Just 1 smooth coat and that was the opacity that it gave me. I was so impressed and wanted to leave it but wanted to show you the full coverage with 2 coats.  But honestly, you could get away with just 1 coat. How lovely is that?

This is Only In Venice and it is the truest orange ever. It does lean a bit to be like almost a neon orange but I am really loving this! 

Do you have any Jessicas? Whats your favorite brand?

Mint Mojto Green

Wow. Have I got a beautiful green for you today!

This is Jessica Mint Mojito Green in 2 lovely and buttery coats. This is a vivid medium creme green. I am in love with this color! It just really screams SPRING to me. Prior to purchasing this polish, I was going to purchase Revlon Posh. But while polish shopping for some birthday swaps, this lovely green caught my eye. This is my first bottle of Jessica polishes along with Smoky Feather (which happens to be Number One Nemesis dupe) and I'm glad I invested in these polishes. Fortunately for me, this is actually my first "true" green polish and I'm in love! I am looking to purchase more Jessica polishes in the future. Do you own and Jessica's? What do you think of them?

Do you have any greens in your stash that you really love?

Number One Nemesis Dupe

I know I recently just posted a comparison a few days ago but I could not wait to share this with you all! As you recently know OPI Number One Nemesis was released with The Spiderman collection, which is the most recent collection released. I received this polish a while ago when I was one of the few thousands who were lucky enough to get the Bloom.com certificate for $20 a while back during Mother's day. While skimming through my collection, I noticed that the recent Jessica polish I purchased looked a lot like Number One Nemesis.

 Index and ring: OPI Number One Nemesis
Middle and pinky: Jessica Smoky Feather

Left: OPI Number One Nemesis
Right: Jessica Smoky Feather

Both polishes are a deep greenish-charcoal grey micro-shimmer almost glitter looking. There's charcoal, gold, green, a silvery color, and an ever slight hint of blue.

So, I present to you Jessica Smoky Feather. I'm not sure where you can purchase these polishes but I buy mine from a local nail supply. But you can purchase Jessica polishes here. Both polishes were 2 coats although Smoky Feather is a lot more opaque than Number One Nemesis. Both polishes applied like butter, very smooth. The only difference that I see, is that Number One Nemesis has a slightly darker base but from a far, you could hardly tell. Smoky Feather is also glossier with no topcoat applied. Other than that, you can be the judge. As for me, I would say that Smoky Feather is close enough to be a dupe.

What you would say? Nay or yay?
