It's Polish, Galore!

Oh the life of a blogger.  So I'm in the middle of my Shellac experience (day 15!) on my right hand, and I'm trying to play with my Layla Magnetic polishes, and then on my left hand I have some Jesse's Girl both in a water marble (!) and one neon thumb.  I just smile when someone notices and kind of shrug my shoulders.  


Coming up on PolishGalore, I have the fall collections from Dr.'s REMEDY, Color Club, OPI, & Zoya, my first NUBARs, both LCN and Layla entire line of magnetic polishes, No-Miss Ltd, and more China Glaze goodies from Cosmoprof!  Thank you all for reading!

Jesse's Girl Pixie Dust

The final eye dust from Jesse's Girl is Pixie Dust, a very sparse white with gold running in it.  It's no where near as opaque as Angelic from yesterday, but it's still a very pretty color to have.

In the shade, the gold is lost completely but you can at least tell that there is plenty of white in there.  Still not an opaque color but no fall out either.

Jesse's Girl sells for $4.99 a piece online or at Rite Aid stores. You can visit Jesse's Girl on their website, Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.

Jesse's Girl Angelic

Second to last Eye Dust from Jesse's Girl is Angelic, a white shimmering dust with lots of little blue and green sprinkled in.  Definitely a good highlight shade.

In the shade you can see it's nicely opaque without any primer and has very little fall out with it.  Nice color to keep as a staple!

China Glaze Haunting

Halloween is still a couple of months away, but while I was at Cosmoprof, I was able to snag some upcoming nail wheels for the new China Glaze collections.  While the press release still isn't even out, I wanted to share with you what's coming.


Haunting appears to be the name for this collection and while it's not on this wheel, their displays showed that they will be bringing back their Glow In The Dark polish (I have a bottle in my medicine cabinet).  The colors in this collection are Haunting, a black with tiny silver microglitter; It's Alive, a green microglitter with larger round glitter; Near Dark, a dark green that almost looks squishy jelly like; and Crimson a super dark purple that looks like last year's Naughty or Nice.


For fun, here are some more pictures.

I don't think these have a top coat on the wheels but Haunting has a smooth finish and It's Alive is slightly bumpy.  What do you think of this collection?


When the press release is released, I will let you know when this collection is coming out and where it will be found.

OPI Launches Sizzling Shades with Serena Williams’ Glam Slam! Series in Anticipation of Upcoming New York Tournament

OPI and tennis superstar Serena Williams announce the two final lacquers in the 2011 Glam Slam! promotion, timed in conjunction with the upcoming New York tournament.  Glam Slam! U.S. features a duo-pack with two high-shine shades: shimmering red, Love is a Racket, and glittering bronze, Pros & Bronze.

“OPI and Serena return to our home country for the final launch with two bright, feminine lacquers,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Packed with red and gold micas for intense luster, the Glam Slam! series finishes with two classic, glamorous colors.”

“Whether worn alone or with Pros & Bronze layered over Love is a Racket for a golden glow, these two shades have rich hues that are perfect for transitioning from summer to fall,” adds Williams.

Serena Williams has received the World Number One in singles ranking by the Women’s Tennis Association on five separate occasions, along with being listed as sixth on the all-time greatest champions list.  Additionally, she has won two Olympic gold medals in women’s doubles and has earned 27 Grand Slam titles to date. Serena is the most recent player to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously and only the fifth woman in history to do so.

New shades in the Glam Slam! promotion are introduced to coincide with each of the four major tournaments, including the upcoming New York tournament in August 2011. As with all OPI Nail Lacquers, Glam Slam! shades contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and each includes OPI’s exclusive ProWide^™ Brush for the ultimate in application.

Jesse's Girl Baby Blues

Last three Eye Dusts from Jesse's Girl - this one is Baby Blues which is a light periwinkle blue with white sprinkled throughout.  

I really like the way it looks in the shade - very opaque with one dry swatch.  I can't wait to try all these with primer.

Jesse's Girl Penny Arcade

Yesterday was the last day in the JulieG new nail collection by Jesse's Girl.  I hope you entered!  In case you hadn't heard, the 8 names are Stiletto, All Things Girly, Beauty Guru, Party Dress, Girl's Night Out, Mermaid's Lagoon, Fashion Friday, and Cupcake Frosting.  I'm excited to see the finishes and colors especially after meeting Julie at Cosmoprof.  She's such a bubbly warm person! 


So the Eye Dust above is called Penny Arcade and is a bit of a rust colored (like a penny) glitter.  It's a bit grittier than the other eye dusts and there is a bit more fall out.  This is definitely one that you'd want to use a primer with.

In the shade the glitter fades a bit and you can see how well this blends with my skin tone.  This would be great for a subtle look during the day or use wet for a heavy night out.  I've been addicted to watching xsparkage's videos on YouTube lately (CHECK THIS OUT) - I wonder what she'd do with Jesse's Girl... hmm.  Only 3 Jesse's Girl eye dusts left to review!  I'm kinda sad.  Anything you'd like to see me do differently since I have all the NYX and MAC pigments to try too?

Jesse's Girl sells for $4.99 a piece online or at Rite Aid stores. You can visit Jesse's Girl on their website, Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.
