A couple of weeks ago Scrangie posted pics of random Jessica polishes and she wrote, that she has hard time deciding which ones to order next. So I thought I would swatch some of my Jessicas, as I have quite a lot of them. In general I love Jessica polishes. They have some great shades to choose from. The application is great on most of my collection. The brush is a regular round one, which I like. The bottles are nothing special, but not ugly either.
So let’s move on to the pictures.
First, I’ll show you two rather special polishes. You wonder why special? Because they darken, when you apply a top coat. Look for yourself.
Cheap Trick is a teal shade with metallic finish and minor visible brush strokes. For a metallic shade the application was pretty good. In fact, I didn’t have any application issues at all. You just have to be a bit careful with brush strokes and I recommend you wait a bit between the coats. On my ring finger you can see how it darkened a bit, when I applied top coat.
Fancy Fishnets is another one, that darkens when the top coat is applied. On this one the change is more visible! Otherwise, Fancy Fishnets is similar to Cheap Trick. The application and all …
Constellation is a wonderful vampy shade. It’s a dark maroon shade with red and/or bronze shimmer. I love it! The consistency on this one was thin, but not uncontrollable. I needed three coats for full opacity.
Glamorous Gladiator is probably my favourite brown so far. It’s just the right shade and the shimmer makes it special. It has bronze shimmer and tiny gold flakes. Glamorous Gladiator isn’t as bronze on me as it is on Scrangie’s pictures. The application was great. Two coats in the picture.
Casablanca is a black shade with larger blue shimmer. It’s very similar to China Glaze’s Blk-Bila-Bong, but the shimmer in Casablanca is more visible on the nail than Blk-Bila-Bong’s. Casablanca is easier to apply and more pigmented.
Palladium is a sparkly champagne shade. I love Palladium and I wore it a lot, which doesn’t happen with a most of my polishes. It’s a perfect everyday shade with a twist and because of all the sparkles, it’s also perfect for special occasions. It’s an elegant shade. There are two coats shown in the picture.
Downtown is a coral shade with gold shimmer and frost finish. It’s a bit on the sheer side. Three coats in the picture.
Sherbet is a lovely mauvey pink shade with a lot of gold shimmer. Two coats in the picture. Please, don’t mind the bronze pointer finger.
Garnet Glaze is a duchrome shade, but it looks more duochrome in the bottle than it does on the nails. I was a bit disappointed by it. I mean, you can see a lot of colors in the bottle and also on the nails, but the colors are similar and that’s why it’s not that multichrome-in-the-face thing. The colors I see in the bottle are: pink, mauve, light brown, grey, green and maybe I missed some, I don’t know. I tried hard to capture all the colors in the pictures, but I failed completely. I took this pics moths ago. Maybe I’ll try once again … but until then, all I have for you, is crapy pics of Garnet Glaze.
Bikini Blue. I already showed you Bikini Blue HERE. It’s probably my favourite baby blue shade. There are two coats in the picture.
Butterfly Kisses is a metallic blue with metallic to foil like finish. It has tons of silver particles. I totally love it! Again, great application. Two coats shown in the picture.
The last two shades are from the Baby It’s Cold Outside collection and I reviewed them HERE.
Frost At All Cost is a very dark teal color. Two coats in the picture.
Divine Pine is a dark forest green. Two coats in the picture.
OK, that’s it. I mean, these are not all of my Jessicas. I could make another long post with Jessica polishes to show all of them, but I think that won’t happen in the near future as I get bored swatching the same brand for days. So, I hope you liked the once I showed you today.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
This post is also available in SLOVENŠČINA.
Jen, you have a point there. But I guess it’s just like with matte polishes, where you also don’t apply (at least regular shiny) TC if you wish that the finish stays matte. ;)
Lots of lovely colours. The way the topcoat changes the shade is remarkable though. If you love the colour before the topcoat in Fishnet and Trick you might easily not like it so much after you have applied TC. And we do all apply TC, don’t we??? :ermm:
These look amazing ! I’m in love with Divine Pine :wub:
Where can I buy these polishes ? Is it a european or a US brand ? I’ve never heard of it before (except on your site).
I’m buying Jessica polishes here in Slovenia, but this a US brand. You can buy Jessica online too. But I don’t have any suggestions as I don’t buy them online. Sorry. :(
greaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttt!! i love the Frost At All Cost and the divine fine and casablanca… :wub: the Constellation and the glamorous gladiator are so classy.. :w00t: thanks for swatching all of this gorgeous polish…weeeeeee!!!
Not a problem. ;) I’m glad you liked them!
Hello! OMG some of this polishes are so so pretty! Can I buy any of these online? ***
Helly, Ana! Yes, I think you can buy them online, but I don’t have any suggestions where, because I don’t buy them online. And it depends, where do you live and everything… I hope you find them. ;)
Mmmm, Constellation … :wub: :wub:
krasne so tele Jessice mmmm
10 mestna koda, to pa res ni veliko kombinacij :stars:
Z Gejbo bosta šli na doooolgo kavo, jaz bom pa kombinacije preizkušala :w00t:
Od danes so Jessice v sefu pod 10 mestno kodo. :devil:
*prepričal
Pa ja, fino ozadje.
Uuh, Constellation me je nabolj prepičal. Torej kdaj gremo k Maestri? :silly:
Moram še pohvaliti ozadje :stars:
Gejba jaz se ti pridružim pri tvojem opravku :w00t:
Meni pa ni všeč Downtown. :shock:
Ravnokar sem sklenila, da te moram nujno oropati. :silly: Z izjemo Bikini Blue odtenka bi imela čisto vse lakce. :wub:
