OMG… Today’s my 19th birthday! Hahaha a year older and a year inching up the twenties soon! I have superb friends that gave me cards through my doorstep (lol!); they really hand delivered it and two of my very best friends came over to my place to give me a surprise gift! I thanked them by doing their nails but I’ve only got time to do Sharlene’s.
So here’s pictures!! I explained the benefits of Gelish and I think they’re amazed that the UV lamp actually dries the polish hahaha~
I used June Bride and Make A Difference as the bases; with floral accent nail and Swarovski crystals! Super bling and shiny thanks to the crystals and of cause; June Bride. Such a pretty and classic pink glitter! Definitely have to get more glitters from Gelish because they apply so smoothly, so unlike normal polish!
Finally able to do such nail art for a very long time and I’m happy on how it turns out! I used acrylic paint on the art except Jesse’s Girl Mermaid’s Lagoon as the dots.
And here’s two photos which Sharlene sent to me! <3
Hey guys, sorry for missing in action for a few days! I was down with the flu and I didn’t feel like posting :/ I am also busy with schoolwork, mostly tutorials! Projects are on their way and I guess I’ll be real busy soon again!
Anyway, because I felt like I owe you readers some interesting read, I did my favourite nail art; leopard print! ^^
As usual, the names of the nail polishes are avaliable at the bottom of the post, at the tags section!
Anyway, I am opened for nail art requests!!! I won’t be able to do tutorials currently because of the time constraint but rest assured I will get down to doing them as soon as I have the time!
P.S. My 50 subscriber giveaway is ending this week!!!!! Do send in your entries by 5th November at 10PM local time! I will be giving away 9 polishes!
Hello guys!! Its been ages since I’ve done a collection swatches and review so I’m glad to do one for Jesse’s Girl! This is indeed a new brand to me and I ordered this collection online as soon as it was available on their website. There’s a big discount for buying the entire collection so I went with that. (USD$25) Shipping was quite fast, I received these in about a week or so.
If you’re unfamiliar with this collection, this was created by JulieG, a beauty guru on Youtube! She has created her own nail polish collection and I think its a pretty good one because there’s something for everyone! I’ve been watching her videos from the start, she’s very cheerful and informative and that’s what I look for when I watch beauty-related videos! You need to check her out if you haven’t!
This is her video introducing all her nail polishes if you are interested in knowing more!
All swatches are 2 coats with no top coat. I wished she did more shimmers though because they’re super gorgeous. This collection consists of 2 shimmers and 6 cremes.
Beauty Guru is a dark musky orange and it looks like a baked orange to me! (Not that I’ve eaten or seen one!) I like this one, the oranges I own are mostly brights or neon and its kinda interesting to see a musky one.
Fashion Friday is an gorgeous red-toned purple, very flattering! Its the colour of JulieG’s background when she makes videos when she’s sitting down and doing one of her makeup videos! I believe this is quite an exact match and I like it!
All Things Girly is a red-toned peach. This isn’t one of my top picks for this collection at all because it doesn’t look good against my skin and the formula was horrible! It was streaky and really thick! I guess I had to bring out my Seche Restore if I’m using it next time.
Stiletto is a light taupe with subtle silver shimmer. It kinda looks something in between purple and grey. A very office appropriate colour and a very unique one at that! I’ve never seen anything like this colour and I’m glad I own this one now!
Cupcake Frosting is a hot fuchsia, nothing very special actually so I’m gonna just keep this description short and sweet, haha!
Party Dress is a red-toned coral, very beautiful and flattering on my skintone. Love this!! I actually have this as my pedi right now and I love the great pop of colour.
Girls Night Out is a medium cobalt blue, very striking and much darker than pictured. Again, not a very unique polish but I’m surprised that this wasn’t an exact dupe of Barry M Cobalt Blue! I might do a comparison if you guys request :>
Mermaid’s Lagoon is a dark teal with subtle golden-red shimmer. Its more like a sprinkle of fairy dust of some sort in the polish, the shimmer is really pretty and dazzling! My camera kinda freaked out on this colour but I swear this colour is super gorgeous in real life! It is much more greener than pictured, not as turquoise as what the photo depicts.
As a whole, I had no issues with the formula except for All Things Girly. Their brushes are kinda unique, they’re thin, small and short so it kinda makes me go back to the bottle twice for each nail on average to have enough polish for my entire nail!
Well, so what’s your favourite from this collection? My favourites have to be Mermaid’s Lagoon, Fashion Friday and Stiletto! Any requests for comparison, please let me know
