What’s shakin’ party people?

Today I have a special treat for you, it’s Jessica Cosmetics new line for spring 2010 called Daydream. It’s made up of six very spring-like colors in various finishes.

The formula on these is pretty spectacular. In fact, almost every Jessica polish I have ever used has been a joy to apply (that sounds really lame, but I speak the truth!)  They are very buttery and smooth, and I never have issues with drag or bald spots. Some of these were on the sheer side, but that’s the way they were meant to be so no complaints here.

Peep ‘em!

Flight Of Fancy

Flight Of Fancy is a pale cotton candy pink shimmer. I thought this was going to just be a pale pink sheer, so when I applied it the shimmer was a nice surprise. It’s nothing ground-breaking, but a nice color and would work well in a conservative setting. This was three coats.

Good afternoon!

Jessica Cosmetics has a really great new winter 2009 collection called Baby It’s Cold Outside. It consists of four new colors, all total hits in my book.

The formula is pretty great on these. Not too thick, not too thin, just right. They were all three coaters for maximum opacity, but that’s ok with me. Take a look-see!

Frost At All Cost

Frost At All Cost is a subdued dark teal with very slight shimmer. This one leans towards the blue side of teal and I LOVE it. Totally gorgeous and unique to me.

Friday is here finally!

I can’t even believe I am showing you HOLIDAY stuff already seeing as it just turned to fall and it’s still hot here in the Bay Area. But I have quite a backlog gathering up of holiday collections now I so thought I better start swatching them before spring 2010 sneaks up on me

This limited edition collection from Jessica is called Social Lights. The bottles are so freakin cute, shaped like little colorful light bulbs.

The formula on these is decent, if not a little thick. You will definitely want to wait a couple minutes between coats on these (especially Starlet) or they tend to get clumpy and weird at the tip.

Cute light bulb bottles!

Today I am showing you Jessica’s Burlesque Beauty collection, which is new for fall 2009. The idea behind this collection was a menagerie of “Moulin Rouge” like colors that are both dramatic and glamorous. There are six colors in this collection and all are cremes with the exception of one which has a very subtle shimmer. Jessica’s polishes are eco-friendly, meaning they are big 3 free. They also contain UVA/UVB protection in them to protect against sun damage and Vitamin A for nail conditioning.

I have to say I wasn’t much of a Jessica fan until their spring collection came out this year. Their colors never spoke to me before, but I really think this is their best collection yet! Though all the colors may not be ones you have never seen before, the formula is freakin fantastic. I mean FANTASTIC! These were SO amazingly creamy, smooth, opaque and easy to apply. I barely had any nail clean up afterward because the polish stayed where I put it with no runs. All colors applied in just two coats with 1 exception.  Read on!

Feather Boa

Feather Boa is a really pretty mauve purple with a slightly smoked out effect. This is particularly flattering on fair skin tones I think because of the cool undertones in it. I really liked this color a lot and can definitely see myself wearing on nails and/or toes for fall.
