More Jessica Love


Just thought I would share with you guys some (more) Jessica colours we are loving. These two are called 'Bronze Tailed' which is the light brown colour and the shimmery silver is called 'Smokey Feather' which, as an added bonus, makes a more affordable and amazing dupe for Chanel's Graphite for any of you Chanel lovers out there. As a duo I think they work gorgeously together and I love the earthy, natural tone to them yet they have a bit of sparkle at the same time. The brown shade is particularly sophisticated and right on trend too as neutral, brown tones are very much must have colours at the moment. I love how they are not too glittery but give just enough to be eye catching and pretty.

As I am sure you all know by now (!) we love the whole Jessica package and they tick every box as far as nail varnishes are concerned, and these two are just another welcomed addition to our budding collection and so far we are yet to be disappointed by any Jessica product. I should mention that for any of you who have dry cuticles of general worn skin their Phenomenon oil is fantastic for hydrating, nourishing and smoothing skin round the nail and can also be used in a variety of other ways too!

JESSICA Hologram Chic


Absolutely loving this limited edition set from our favourite Jessica nails, the set consists of two varnishes to create amazing three dimensional colour. You begin by applying colour on the left, 'Retro Revival', to give a clear glowing base, this only needs one coat (you might be wondering why it says 'Top Coat' on the bottle of this one, I was too, but on the website it confirms it is a base coat), then follow this with two coats of the silver 'Disco Diva' to give the most awesome colourful, shining, holographic nails. As with all Jessica polishes, they are amazingly chip proof and so easy to apply, which I think is partly down to the brush which is firm and thick so allows for it to be evenly applied. On the huge plus side, they dry really quickly too which is great if you don't have lots of time or are prone to smudging. Jessica also recommends that with all their polishes, you should paint both under and over the nail to seal the varnish, which is a really good tip to avoid chipping.

Ultimately though, I just love the finish, it's something fun and unique, one of those nail varnishes where you can't stop looking at your hands. Sounds a bit weird, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Nic used the silver to tip her nails for an alternative french manicure and it looked amazing.


Get the gorgeous duo whilst you can from Jessica Cosmetics online or in the UK you can get it from www.gerrardinternational.com  for just over £20.

The perfect dupe?




I am a huge fan of this metallic, multi-dimensional nail colour and I love Chanel 'Peridot' (see pic above) So when I saw that Jessica had one that is pretty much the perfect match in their colour 'Iridescent Eye', you can imagine how pleased I was. 
Don't get me wrong, I do love the Chanel varnishes in terms of their beautiful colour range, and of course with anything Chanel you are paying for the luxury, which they certainly do deliver. However, I've said it before and I will say it once more - Jessica Nail Polish cannot be faulted, I love the colours and the finish, they are so easy and quick to use, and they are virtually chip proof. I much prefer the brush on the Jessica polishes, I find the Chanel one a little thin and unfortunately I find Chanel polishes chip very easily!

In terms of the finish of this particular golden-green colour they are pretty much exact, if they were in the same unlabelled bottle then you would think they were the same polish, both off and on the nail. If you prefer the idea of Chanel's sophistication then of course you pay for that, as the Chanel one is £17.50, Jessica, on the other hand, not only comes in a bigger bottle (0.5ml compared to Chanel's 0.4), but is also cheaper £9.75, or even less in the U.S at $7.50 - bargain! 




Get the Jessica one here in the U.K and the Chanel one on their website here, or on counters nationwide. 
Love the colour so much, what do you guys think?
