Jesse's Girl
High Intensity Nail Color
Reviews
I got this to support Julie G.
I watch Julie G. because I think she has killer tutorials on YouTube. After seeing that Jessie's Girls cosmetics teamed with Julie G. for a collection, as I always do, I support my fellow gurus where I can when they have a new line of cosmetics (if they are cruelty free, or for a cure, benefit, or a magazine article) and thought I would try em. They are super affordable, and often on sale. These nail paints are super opaque, and dry quickly. I have about 4 now, and I think they are great.
JESSES GIRL- GIRLS NIGHT OUT
I LOVE NAIL POLISH BUT I ALSO LOVE QUALITY AT A BARGAIN! SO FAR I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT JESSESGIRL NAIL POLISH! I WOULD CONSIDER IT A QUICK DRY BECAUSE IT DOES DRY QUICK. THE PRICE IS AWESOME..$3.99 AND THE QUALITY IS REALLY GOOD. I HAVE WASHED DISHES, CLEANED AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF AND MY NAIL POLISH HAS NOT CHIPPED. IT FADES OUT A BIT AT THE TOP EDGES OF YOUR NAIL BUT NO UGLY CHIPPING. MIND YOU THE FADING OUT HAPPENS AFTER A WEEK OF HAVING IT ON. PRETTY GOOD STUFF RIGHT HERE. I BOUGHT IT AT RITE AID.I ALWAYS GET ALOT OF COMPLIMENTS WITH THIS COLOR.
I've never tried a creme finish nail polish before but I like it!
I picked up All Things Girly from the Julie G. collection last night and I'm really digging the color. From reading other reviews I was under the impression that I would only need one to two coats however I found I needed three. I decided to redo my nails tonight using a base coat first, I'm bad about using base and top coat, etc but after putting on a base coat of Sally Hansen Miracle Nail Thickener I got a much better color payoff. I still did two coats of color but was happier with the results.
LOOOVE this nail polish. Most nail polish brands for me are rubbish and chip off after a day - this brand though stay on for days on end and even if I pick at it, it still is hard to get off! SO great and really good pigmentation as well. The brush is fantastic also - not too big. Streak free which I love and so cheap! By far one of my favourites. Gorgeous colours too.
Limited Edition JulieG Collection
Mermaid's Lagoon - Turquoise blue with fine gold shimmer. Stiletto - Taupe with fine silver shimmer. Party Dress - Red (leans a touch orange) cream.
Both "Mermaid's Lagoon" and "Stiletto" required two coats for opaque and even coverage, but "Party Dress" only required one! The formula of all three was a bit thick, though not difficult to work with, and the polish didn't run on the nail. I really like the brush on Jesse's Girl High Intensity Nail Colors - I find them very easy to work with and they do a great job of distributing the polish precisely and evenly. All three polishes dried about average at/around five minutes.
In the bottle, "Mermaid's Lagoon" has a gorgeous sheen, which is due to the fine gold shimmer throughout. The shimmer is most noticeable on the nail when in natural sunlight, though it doesn't give the same sheen you see in the bottle. This is quite the unique color (in my opinion). There are many teals and turquoises on the market, but in my personal collection, "Mermaid's Lagoon" is one-of-a-kind.
"Stiletto" also has a sheen in the bottle, but its sheen is silver. In "Stiletto"'s case, the shimmer is noticeable indoors, though it's at its best when in natural sunlight. This particular taupe is on the brown side, but thanks to the shimmer, it's not your regular run-of-the-mill taupe.
"Party Dress" is probably my favorite of the three (gasp!, I know) primarily due to its opaqueness, but also because it's an interesting red. "Party Dress" isn't that loud, traditional red - it leans a touch orange, so it's softer and can compliment a number of skin tones, age groups and outfits. You can wear this to school or the office without looking "over-done", then comfortably transition to an evening out!
"Mermaid's Lagoon", "Stiletto" and "Party Dress" are top notch, and Julie did a fantastic job coming up with interesting colors with cute names. After having tried these three, I may purchase a few more! Of the three I own, "Party Dress" is my most favorite, though I love all three.
