JulieG 2015 Core - Part 2

Tuesday, June 30, 2015

Ready for part 2 and 3 more shades from the new JulieG core line? Today's colors aren't as bright as yesterday's but still just as pretty. Get ready for 3 more shimmer shades!

JulieG Nail Color - Core 2015 | Kat Stays Polished

Molten Lava is a deep red shimmer with a sort of coppery feel to it. I absolutely love it. Two coats and you've got a fantastic, bold shade to wear on your nails!

Am I obsessed with Obsessed? I don't know. This color is stunning and absolutely gorgeous but where would I wear it? This to me seems more like an evening winter shade. I shall revisit this in about 5-6 months.

#NailsoftheDay is a burgundy/brown with golden shimmer. I feel like I should be drinking a cup of coffee with this shade. Does it remind anyone else of coffee or am I just losing my mind? I really love this color.

So what did you think of these 3 shades? Like yesterday's better? Waiting to make a decision until tomorrow's post? Let me know!

These are available right now on the Jesse's Girl website for $3.99 and at your local Rite Aid stores!

JulieG 2015 Core - Part 1

Monday, June 29, 2015

Hey friends! So, if you haven't already heard, JulieG has added 9 new colors to her core line of nail polish. I'll be posting in 3 parts, each with 3 of the new colors. Here is part 1 with Pin-Up Girl, Albuquerque, and Supervillian.

Pin-Up girl is described as a deep magenta frost. Though not a shade I'd wear often myself, it's got a great formula and I only needed two coats for opacity. I topped it off with JulieG Jet Set and I was good to go.

Albuquerque is a bright orange shimmer shade. This color is seriously no joke. I honestly couldn't believe how bright this was in person. All it takes is 2 coats to get it like this.

JulieG Nail Color - Core 2015 - Albuquerque | Kat Stays Polished

Supervillian is a bright red shimmer. Again, formula was great and it only takes 2 coats to get to this opacity. I feel like this would be a great Fall color, even something that could transition into Winter.

JulieG Candy Shoppe Colors

Monday, March 23, 2015

Hi friends!!!!! I have such an exciting post for you guys today! It's the new JulieG polish collection - Candy Shoppe Colors! Just look at how bright and fun these shades are! What's even better is that they have this jelly bean finish. Not glossy, not matte...kinda makes you want to eat your nails. HA!

All of the swatches below are 2 thin coats and no top coat unless otherwise stated. The formula for all of these polishes is so syrupy. These are so easy to apply and I had such an easy time with almost every color. Let's get down to the swatches!

JulieG Candy Shoppe Colors | Kat Stays Polished

First up is Wild Cherry. This bright and yummy red is perfect for Spring and Summer! The polish dries pretty fast and if you want to mattify this shade even more, add the new JulieG Matte Top Coat (there will be a post on that later on).

Pixi Stick is a sweet pink shade that's sure to brighten up your day. I could eat pixi sticks all day long and this color seriously matches the pixi stick bag! One time, the drugstore had them on clearance and I bought 5 bags! What a sugar rush!

Candy Shop is a sweet orange shade. Doesn't it look so juicy? I feel like if you paired this with Tangerine Dream from the Frosted Gumdrops series you'd have a seriously delicious mani!

Lemon Drop is a nice yellow shade whose name reminded me of some pretty interesting bar outings where I had way too many lemon drop shots. We won't get into that right now. Because we're working with yellow, I had to use 3 coats instead of 2. It's a little patchy but overall not terrible. I applaud any polish company who can make a yellow shade work. I've not had too many issues with the yellow shades from JulieG.

Sour Apple is the perfect jelly bean green shade. I love biting into sour apple jelly beans and this color just SCREAMS jelly bean, doesn't it? I love how dark the color can get but at the same time, you can still see a little bit of my nail. Three coats of this would make it completely opaque if you wanted it to be.

I am a total blue fanatic and Sweet Tooth is such an amazing color. It actually reminds me of the blue that's comes in those rainbow ice cream flavors. Or like the icing in those birthday cake ice cream flavors. Again, I used 2 coats but if you wanted to make it completely opaque, add a 3rd coat.

Sour Grape is 1 of 2 purple shades in this collection. This one is lighter in color and more sheer. It does remind me of grape candies. I love the taste of that artificial grape flavor, haha. Anyone else in the same boat with me?

Lollipop is the 2nd purple shade and is slightly darker. This one is pretty opaque in 2 coats, but just like the other shades, add a 3rd and you're good to go!

Lastly we have Licorice Twist. I am not a fan of licorice at all, but I do love this shade. It's a nice break from the glossy black like Black Sheep. This is pretty opaque with 2 coats.

Okay folks, what do you think? These are available right now on the Jesse's Girl website for $3.99. They will be available at your local Rite Aid stores soon! I'd recommend them all so get to shopping!

JulieG Mardi Gras Collection

Wednesday, July 30, 2014

Anytime is a great time to celebrate Mardi Gras, right? Have you ever been to New Orleans during Mardi Gras? I haven't but I would love to go! With this JulieG Mardi Gras polish collection, you can have Mardi Gras any time of the year! These 6 glittery shades should hold you over until next year's celebration! All of these glitters are in a tinted base so keep that in mind when you're choose a base color to put this over. You could certainly wear all of these shades by themselves if you wanted. All swatches are 1 coat of these over 2 coats of the base color and topped with JulieG Jet Set top coat. Let's get on with the swatches!

JulieG Mardi Gras Collection | Kat Stays Polished

Trinket is a gorgeous mix of pink and purple glitters in a pink tinted base. I used 1 coat of Trinket over 2 coats of Fierce & Fab. These two pair up so well together. The pink tint of Trinket doesn't change the color for F&F too much. What do you think?

Bourbon Street is a colorful mix of glitters in a gray tinted base. I used 1 coat of Bourbon Street over 2 coats of Black Sheep. I love how all the colors of Bourbon Street pop on the black background.

King Creole is a super bright and fiery gold-bronze glitter mixture. I chose to showcase this on top of Beach Bonfire, an awesome summery shimmer orange shade. I normally don't like putting glitters on top of shimmer shades but I am in LOVE with this combination.

JulieG Mardi Gras Collection - King Creole | Kat Stays Polished

Jamboree is a green, gold, and teal glitter mix in a green tinted base. I used 1 coat over 2 coats of Holla-Peno. Holla-Peno is a slightly lighter green shade so adding the green tinted base over it really helps bring out the colors of the glitters.

JulieG Mardi Gras Collection - Jamboree | Kat Stays Polished

Masquerade is a light blue, silver and gold glitter mix in a blue tinted base. I used 1 coat over 2 coats of Cabana Boy. The blue tint of Masquerade really enhanced the look of Cabana Boy underneath. I love how there are so many base color choices to choose from!

JulieG Mardi Gras Collection - Masquerade | Kat Stays Polished

Costume Ball is a purple-blue-pink mix of glitters in a blue tinted base that pairs well over Royal Rebel. Unfortunately, Royal Rebel is no longer available but if you have a similar purple shade, this would be perfect over it. **EDIT** Go HERE to get Royal Rebel online while it's still in limited stock! GO GO GO!
