As soon as I saw Jesse's Girl JulieG, I thought of a watermelon Jolly Rancher and my mouth started to water. This is a beautiful light coral that was designed and named for the YouTuber JulieG.
I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of JulieG and top of Seche Vite. The formula on this was very nice - buttery almost. Very nice and very colorful.
In the sun, this color is a bit more red than real life - I think it's partly due to the competition with my skin.
In the shade, the true color comes out - can you see a Jolly Rancher in this?! I love this color - surprisingly... I wasn't even thinking I'd like it originally but then on the nail I was in just love.

Jesse's Girl Midori
Remember that plastic shredded grass that was found in your Easter basket? I had a love hate relationship with that stuff - it was so much fun but it got EVERYWHERE. With Spring upon us (apparently - it was 32 degrees the other night), a bright color for your nails is always fun. Jesse's Girl Midori is a very light yellow green metallic polish. Yes, metallic - so hello brush strokes. ^_^
I used a base of Seche Natural, 3 coats of Midori and a top of Seche Vite.
In the sun you can see the brush strokes but that's typical of all metallics so no worries there. I did have a bit of patchiness which is why I went for three coats instead of two but you can still see a bit of VNL on my pinkie.
Shade. This color is a little similar to Cheeky Monkey Lucky U but Midori is MUCH more green and less silver pearl. The two of them might be really pretty in a water marble manicure, actually.

Jesse's Girl Confetti
1.23.2011
Jesse's Girl Confetti looked like it was going to be THE color of this entire line. It's this beautiful purple blue shimmery glittery party in a bottle. I was absolutely in love.
I used a base of Seche Natural, 4 coats of Confetti (and it didn't become opaque) and a top of Seche Vite.
That's when I decided "Time for black." My ring and pinky fingers has a base of CND Blackjack and then 2 coats of Confetti.
On its own, it tries - it really tries but this is a color best layered over another.
Indoors under 6500K lights - you can see how pretty it is.
One picture in the shade.
And this was just pretty to me.
Confetti looks like it could be a dupe with the Sally Hansen HD colors that came out last year - which I bought all of them... I'll have to do some comparison posts at a later date. ^_^

Blogs of Note
Happy Sunday!
This blog has some explicit language, but let me tell you, it's hilarious and you might learn a thing or two! It's not makeup or beauty, but instead some awesome recipes. The writer is a long time Internet friend of mine, so here's a shout out!
GetchaNailsDid is a great blog to see nail art and swatches. For some crazy awesome reason, I've had over 1000 referrals from her website, and I just hope to one day pay it forward. She has very nicely manicured medium to long nails that are squared.
Finally today is GildedNails from Down Under (Australia). She also has medium to long nails that are slightly squared, partially almond. I love that she has access to polishes that I haven't seen a lot of in the States like Models Own but also swatches MAC, OPI, China Glaze, Zoya and more. Good stuff!
