Today I have another comparison post using Jesse's Girl Wild Thing and China Glaze Purple Panic, both purple neons. In the bottle, they sure look pretty close.
For both polishes I used a base coat of Seche Natural, and 2 coats of polish. No top coat was added to show the matte finish.
In the sun, you can see that Purple Panic is a bit lighter than Wild Thing. Sometimes, I like to use a base coat of white polish to make neons pop, but I've noticed that purples tend to pop regardless.
In the shade, you can tell that these are cousins but not dupes of each other. Wild Thing has a darker purple base than Purple Panic. Tada!

Jesse's Girl Wild Thing
1.26.2011
YOU MAKE MY HEART SING.
Anywho.
Hello beautiful! Jesse's Girl Wild Thing is a vibrant purple neon and definitely makes you want to sing (or at least I did, for awhile).
I used a base of Seche Natural and 2 coats of Wild Thing. I did not use a top coat in order to show you the matte qualities that neons have.
Doesn't it just leap out at you? You can also see all my ridges (which I'm going to buff out, eventually!).

The shade doesn't show much difference. Still purple, still neon, still awesome.

Zoya Charla vs Jesse's Girl Glee vs OPI Catch Me In Your Net
1.25.2011
What a mouthful of a title, eh? As I mentioned before, Jesse's Girl Glee was very familiar so I went pulling through my colors after remembering how similar Zoya Charla and OPI Catch Me In Your Net were.
Whoa, blue green glitter mermaid overload! Yes?
For Zoya's Charla, I used a base of Zoya Anchor, 2 coats of Charla and a top coat of Zoya Armor.
For Jesse's Girl's Glee, I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Glee and a top coat of Seche Vite.
For OPI's Catch Me In Your Net, I used a base coat of OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, 2 coats of Catch Me In Your Net and a top of OPI Top Coat.
For reference, Zoya Charla is available for $7, Jesse's Girl is available for $2.99, and OPI sells for about $8.50.
One again, this color doesn't like to focus with my camera. I think the results speak a bit for themselves. While you can see a bit of VNL with all three, Glee is more opaque than Charla, and Charla is more opaque that Catch Me In Your Net.
In the shade, it appears that Glee has a slightly darker base than Charla but again, the VNL is showing a lot on Catch Me In Your Net.
So the choice is yours of course but pictures do say a thousand words. :)

Jesse's Girl Glee
Who doesn't love the TV show Glee? I know I live for it (and it comes back on February 6th!) and make my friends watch it with me... you?
Jesse's Girl Glee is a blue green glitter in a blue base. Think you've seen it before? That will be another post. ;]
I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Glee, and a top of Seche Vite. Because it is a glitter, removal takes a bit longer and you may need some cleanup afterwards. No staining occurred.
My camera absolutely refused to focus on my nails - way too much glitter and with only 2 coats!
In the shade, I was able to get this color to relax and behave for the camera. A beautiful mermaid color and for only $3! Grab this one if you missed out on this trend last year. It's totally worth it.

Jesse's Girl JulieG
1.24.2011
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.
The High Intensity polish line launches officially on 25 January on their website and the "prepacks" have already been spotted at Rite Aid stores. They do provide free shipping on domestic orders over $20 and do ship internationally as well. They even accept PayPal.
