Jesse's Girl Crush

It's time for another Jesse's Girl color - today is actually Jesse's birthday!  Give him a shoutout on Twitter if you have time.  ^_^  Crush is a perfectly pigmented orange creme - very vibrant and a very nice formula.  I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 3 coats of Crush (to make sure it was even) and a top of Seche Vite.

In the sun, you can see how this color is very pumpkin like - or a big glass of orange juice.  Either way, it's pretty sweet!

Same story in the shade - just a lovely orange that looks good enough to drink.  (I think I'm just craving orange juice...)

Jesse's Girl sells for $2.99 a bottle online or at Rite Aid stores. You can visit Jesse's Girl on their website, Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.

Blogs of Note

It's Super Bowl Sunday here in the USA, and I'm stoked to watch the game.  While I start pre-gaming, here's some blogs of note for you to nosh on.


Jellynat: Medium to Long nails - slightly sporadic posting (had a down computer and was missing her photo editing software) but still a good place for searching older posts.


Just Nice Things:  Definitely long nail blog here - which I think is super cool!  I wish I had long nails sometimes!  You'll also find guest blogging reviews, some makeup, and some great blogger interviews here.  I do believe this blog is updated daily, so be sure to put her in your RSS/GFC feed!


Keerthamina: This is another blogger who hasn't updated in a while but does have some great older posts to check out - reviews and some art.  I really do like researching other colors on other blogs - especially some of the "core" colors from companies.  ^_^


Enjoy!

Jesse's Girl Flirt vs China Glaze Trophy Wife

Still looking for a dupe here - here is Jesse's Girl Flirt and China Glaze Trophy Wife and yet in the bottle, they sure don't look very similar.  I figured Flirt would be much darker than Trophy Wife.  For both polishes I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Seche Vite.


Are you ready?

Can you tell the difference in the sun on which picture is which?  Yeah, me either.  In fact, I forgot which color was on what nail.  Go me.  These are definitely dead on dupes.


Edit! I checked my notes, I have Jesse's Girl Flirt on my index and ring fingers and China Glaze Trophy Wife on my middle and pinkie fingers

Same story in the shade.  So if you missed Trophy Wife or you're just looking for a frosty foil pink, look no further - these two are cut from the same cloth!

China Glaze Trophy Wife

When I was originally taking my bottle pictures of China Glaze Trophy Wife from the Specialty/Glitters & Cremes Collection, I had one that was further away, but this picture just cracked me up.  It reminded me of The Daily Nail's post on her adventures with Zoya Nail Polish Gemma.  Please do check it out.


I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Trophy Wife and a top of Seche Vite.  Trophy Wife is a pink foil that applied very smoothly - very nice formula.

In the sun you can see that this is a nice foil/frost pink.  Hey, didn't I say that before?  ;]  

Same story in the shade - it almost looks like this polish is a sponged gradation from dark to light but nope, it's just the polish.


You can still find this color on Head2ToeBeauty and possibly on eBay or you can stay tuned for my upcoming comparison post!

China Glaze [official website] can be found online through several etailers, including my favorite Head2Toe Beauty [official website], Sally's Beauty Supply [official website] as well asTransDesign [official website].
