Jesse’s Girl: Julie G Frosted Gum Drops Nail Polish Swatches

Happy Monday!

Today I have for you, the Jesse's Girl: Julie G Frosted Gum Drops Collection.

I found these at my local Rite Aid drugstore, but they were featured on on fabulous Groupon offer recently.

These colors are amazing, and they are a part of the newest trend of "textured" polishes. These have a sandpaper like texture and an amazing SPARKLE! No top coat is needed because these polishes are meant to be worn without it. But if you do add top coat you will need about 4-5 coats.  I experimented with the red, and I needed 5 layers of top coat to get a perfectly smooth finish.

Julie G
"Hot Cinnamon"
hot-red with a glitter finish
2 coats, no top coat

Julie G
"Sugar Rush"
bright reddish pink with pops of gold glitter
2 coats, no top coat

Julie G
"Tangerine Dream"
citrus orange with specks of sparkle
2 coats, no top coat

The next set of colors, have silver shimmer and added silver glitter.  The silver glitter is much larger than the shimmer, and adds extra sparkle and shine to the textured finish.

Julie G
"Rock Candy"
teal infused with silver glitter
2 coats, no top coat

Julie G
"Blueberry Fizz"
berry blue mixed with shiny silver glitter
2 coats, no top coat

Julie G
"Crushed Candy"
pure purple with silver sparkle appeal
2 coats, no top coat

In indirect lighting...

Here you can see the larger pieces of glitter a bit better :)

Overall I love them all! Seriously they are perfect!  They all dried like a regular polish would dry, and once they are dry...they wear like IRON! Seriously, I can go 5 days and get no chips.   

Most were opaque in 2 coats, but the orange and the coral may need a third coat for complete opacity. I used base coat, as I always do, and no top coat, no tricks, nothing special.

 The sparkle in these is amazing and simply gorgeous!

If you do not mind the textured trend these are worth the $3.99 price tag.  You can find them at your local Rite Aid drugstore or you can order them directly from the Jesse's Girl Website. 

Keep It Sweet!

JulieG Collection by Jesse's Girl: Swatches

"Everyone knows that well-manicured nails are the perfect complement to any outfit. So just like you transition your wardrobe from summer to fall, the same should be done with the polish colors you’ll be sporting in the upcoming season. To stay on-trend without breaking the bank, do your nails at home with polishes from the JulieG Collection by Jesse’s Girl Cosmetics! Created by nail guru Julie Gutierrez (aka JulieG 713 on YouTube), you’ll be rocking a fashion-forward manicure until the last leaves fall from the trees. "

JulieG
"Metallic Heels"
2 coats, no top coat

Very pretty and stunning gold foil.  If you like Essie "Good As Gold", you'll love this, and it is way cheaper at $3.99.  

JulieG
"Stiletto"
2 coats, no top coat

"Stiletto" is a a taupe creme with added silver/white shimmer.  The shimmer is very subtle, which makes this taupe creme very nice, in my opinion. I love subtle shimmer. :)

JulieG
"Dance In The Dark"
2 coats, no top coat

This shimmery blue is shiny and pretty, and super pigmented! I was hoping that the purple shimmer in the bottle would show on the nail  but it did not. Here are the bottle shots. :)

Isn't that purple shimmer gorgeous!

Overall all 3 colors applied nice. They dried in a regular dry time and were smooth, and gave me no issues with bald spots or streaking.  These are great polishes and for $3.99 each, they are worth grabbing a couple. 

My personal favorite IS NOT the blue *shocking*, it actually is "Metallic Heels". I love foils because they dry fast, deliver high shine, and are great as a base color for glitters and half moon manicures.  Foils are the perfect manicure for an "out the door manicure , that is when you have to do a quick manicure ad run "out the door", LOL :)

Keep It Sweet and Happy Friday!

NEW! Save on Fall's Hottest Nail Trends with the JulieG Collection by Jesse's Girl.

"Everyone knows that well-manicured nails are the perfect complement to any outfit. So just like you transition your wardrobe from summer to fall, the same should be done with the polish colors you’ll be sporting in the upcoming season.

Created by nail guru Julie Gutierrez (aka JulieG 713 on YouTube), you’ll be rocking a fashion-forward manicure until the last leaves fall from the trees. "

 "When it comes to your manicures this fall, go for the (metallic) gold. While Essie’s ‘Good as Gold’ gives a shining color to nails, the real prize could be saving a few dollars by going with a bottle of JulieG in Metallic Heels, which retails for just $3.99. Not only does it give nails a rich, antique gold color, but a salon-quality finish just like Essie’s polish (but at a fraction of the price!) " 

"One polish shade that’s proven it’s here to stay is ‘greige’. Even though this shade is the perfect neutral for the season, would you spend $8.00 on a bottle of OPI’s ‘You Don’t Know Jacques’ when you do know that you could get an equally good color for half the price? With JulieG in Stiletto, you’ll be strutting your stuff in this universally flattering shade that also contains a subtle shimmer."

"Now that temperatures are beginning to drop, what better way to reflect that than with a new shade of blue nail polish? While you could shell out $18.00 for Deborah Lippmann’s ‘Magic Man,’ you could also pay a third of that price for JulieG in Kickin’ It. Now you can kick back and chill out by rocking a cool, blue frost color on your nails all season long!"
