I've spent 20 years in Texas and I've always agreed with the mantra "You can take the girl out of Texas but you can't take the Texas out of the girl." I routinely say y'all when talking to others - even in the singular form. I was excited for this color but not totally sold on orange. Why orange? WHY.
I used a base of OPI Natural Nail, 3 coats of Y'all Come Back Ya Hear? polish and a top of OPI Top Coat.
Sorry for the no sun again. It's over 100 degrees but there's this huge ridiculous cloud above my house. Is this a sign? :P You can see some VNL but it's not terribly bad. Again, this is a jelly/sorbet polish.
Pure shade and check out the VNL especially on my ring finger. Since this picture, I've gotten a manicure, promise. My nails aren't all icky shaped anymore.
Indoors with the flash and I'm just still not in love with this color. Not a big fan of orange polish, but there's no shimmer or glitter so it's in my "meh" pile.

Now, the majority of Jesse's Girl eye dusts are pretty popping colors but every good palette has to have some nice neutrals as well. Cafe Au Lait is a light caramel brown pigment.
In the shade, it kind of disappears against my skin tone but I promise it's there! I could see myself using this as a highlight color for a good neutral look but that's about it for me.
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.

OPI Silver Shatter actually came out back in Spring with the OPI Brights "Pirates of the Caribbean" collection. I absolutely hated the way this looked on blogs but trust me when I say this is a color you need. It has all this shimmer that can't be captured digitally but looks AMAZING in person.
I used yesterday's manicure, one coat of Silver Shatter and a top coat of OPI Top Coat.
I mean really, it's hard to tell you how amazing this is when it doesn't photograph well at all.
And it shatters pretty well as well.
I didn't have sun out (of course) so sorry that you don't see the full BLING of this polish.
Indoors with the flash just makes this look ugly. Haha, sorry friends. I promise you that this is amazing and you do need it. This and a black shatter/crackle/texture make me a happy camper.

Blue eyeshadow used to be such a big no-no but now I've definitely pulled it off a few times (or at least pretended like I was pulling it off!). Jesse's Girl eye dust Mardi Gras is a light periwinkle blue with a bit of a white undertone in it.
Here in the shade, you can see that this has a bit of a matte look and you can also see a bit of that white undertone I mentioned. Very soft and subtle while still having a glittery rockin' look.

Continuing with the sorbet section of the Texas collection is Guy meets Gal-veston, an 'engaging" coastal coral. Okay, I've said it before but I'm going to seriously say it again. OPI, who does your promo pictures? See my bottle picture? Here is the one that OPI produced in their press release.
What?
Anyway. I used a base of OPI Natural Nail, 3 coats of polish and a top of OPI Top Coat. As with sorbets/jellies, this is not opaque.
Even though it does have a watery squishy finish, it's not bad - I could see myself being able to deal with this color pretty decently.
Here in the shade you can see that it can definitely hold it's own. It's more red than coral to me, but it's still pretty for the summer.
Finally indoors with the flash and you can see a bit of VNL on my middle finger. I think this is probably my favorite so far for the sorbets.
