Julie G Gumdrop Textures

Today I have half of the Jesse Girl Julie G Gumdrop collection for y'all :) There are 6 polishes total in this collection, today I used the 3 warm shimmer texture shades.  

The 3 warm shades are closest to the texture of the Zoya Pixiedust polishes, with the texture being a smoother shimmery glitter in the same shade as the base color.  The 3 cool shades have a texture closer to the OPI Liquid sands, with a silver, chunkier glitter texture.

I want to mention real quick the amazing customer service experience I had with this company.  I ordered during the pre-order sale, and was unclear on the shipping time frame.  When I hadn't received the set, I contacted Jesse's Girl customer service and it turns out that my order was marked as shipped but never sent out.  Cathy in customer service apologized and sent out a person set to me and had it in my mailbox in one day.  How is that for above & beyond customer service?!

This is Julie G Hot Cinnamon (Red), Sugar Rush (Coral-ish) & Tangerine Dream (Orange).  I used striping tape to make the diagonal stripes on my accent.  This is two coats of each color, no top coat.  If I had to pick a favorite out of this collection, it's Sugar Rush!  I have been staring at this color all night :)

St. Paddy's Day

This weekend I have a beautiful green mani for St. Paddy's Day! My husband is part Irish (born here) & I have a thing for Irish accents and drinking so this is a favorite holiday of mine :)

Basecoat: Nail-Aid 3 Minute Artificials
Base Color: Barielle Lily of the Valley- 2 coats
Diagonally on the Tips: Sinful Colors Call You Later- 2 thin coats 
Shamrock: Barielle Lily of the Valley
Gold Base: Sinful Colors All About You- many coats (lost count, maybe 5-6?)
Topcoat: Sally Hansen InstraDri- 2 coats

I forgot to put a base on under it to help with opacity, I did however add a base on my left hand and that one only took maybe 3-4 coats. The shamrock was done with a dotting tool and the diagonal tips were free-handed.
