JESSICA COSMETICS PHENOM SWEET TALK SPRING TREATS COLLECTION - SWATCHES & REVIEW

 A 'phenomenal' evolution in polish technology, exclusively formulated for salon professionals, PHENOM is JESSICA Cosmetics' answer to gel nails with no UV / LED light; promising up to 10 days of lasting colour and gel-like shine.

It's fast, it shines, it lasts and it can be achieved in in 3 easy steps.  
Here's how it works - 

STEP 1: BASE COAT

Apply two thin coats of any JESSICA base coat to prepared nails (nails completely free of polish, oils, etc) - this will ensure maximum adhesion and wear.

STEP 2: PHENOM COLOUR

Apply two thin coats of your desired JESSICA Phenom colour - apply just like regular nail polish. 

STEP 3: FINALE SHINE

Apply one thin coat of the JESSICA Finale Shine top coat over the colour - this sets and cures the colour giving it a gel-like shine (no lamp needed! It hardens with natural light exposure!)


*APPLICATION TIPS: Apply thin coats of polish and ensure each coat is fully dry before applying the next coat. 


All JESSICA nail colours are Cruelty Free, Vegan and 7-Free which means they are free from nasty chemicals like Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, DBP, Camphor, Xylene and Ethyl Tosylamide - so they are gentle on you and the environment!


I have the JESSICA Phenom Sweet Talk collection to try and review for you today :)

  U HAD ME AT HELLO  

U Had Me at Hello is a coral pink nail polish shade.

I say you can never go wrong with pink nails. This one is perfect for the warmer weather. Would also make for a cute pedicure. 

Opaque in one thin coat!

  SMOOTH TALKER  

Smooth Talker is a baby blue nail polish shade.

I always enjoy this tone of blue. The formula of this one is quite possibly the best I've tried for this kind of shade. A crowd pleaser for sure!

Opaque in one - two thin coats.

  TELL ME MORE  

Tell Me More is a a taupe grey/purple nail polish shade with a super fine pink-blue shimmer scattered throughout it.

Now this one has me starstruck! Super pretty! The shimmer is definitely apparent in person and literally glows off the nails.

Opaque in one - two thin coats.

*  *  *

JESSICA COSMETICS TEA PARTY SPRING COLLECTION 2019 - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Grab a sweet treat to celebrate the warmer weather with the delightful new JESSICA Cosmetics Tea Party collection.

I have all 6 polishes from the Spring 2019 Tea Party collection to review for you today :)



BLUEBERRY CREAM 

Blueberry Cream is a pastel cornflower blue nail polish shade. 
SO pretty! 

The formula is FANTASTIC! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well.

It's pigmented, covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.


PUMPKIN SPICE 

Pumpkin Spice is a bright-pastel orange nail polish shade. 
It's pastel toned, but also so bright its *almost* neon! My swatch photo seriously does no justice! I hardly ever wear orange on my nails but I'll be rocking this all Summer, maybe even on my toes! Love it!

The formula is AMAZING! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well. 

It's SUPER pigmented, covers amazingly well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.


YELLOW MERINGUE 

Yellow Meringue is a pastel yellow nail polish shade.
Very pretty! I could see this one looking stunning on darker /  tanned skin tones.

SO impressed with the formula of this one! Yellow nail polish (especially pastel yellows) are notorious for having bad formulas.This one is AMAZING! It glides onto the nails really nicely and evenly.

It builds up to full opacity in two - three thin coats, depending on application and personal preference (my swatch shows two coats).


EARL GREY 

Earl Grey is a pale grey nail polish shade.
I don't wear grey on my nails very often but I really enjoy this one. 

The formula is (surprise, surprise) FANTASTIC! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well.

It's SUPER pigmented, covers AMAZINGLY well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats.


LOVE YOU VERY MATCHA  

Love You Very Matcha is a pastel sea-foam green nail polish shade. 
So pretty!

The formula is (yet again) FANTASTIC! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well.

It's pigmented, covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.


LAVENDER LOVE  

Lavender Love is a pastel lavender purple nail polish shade. 
THIS COLOUR IS EVERYTHING! I LOVE IT!

The formula of this one is different to the rest - it's a little weird - it's sheer / crelly-like (not what I was expecting). It's still a dream to work with and self-levels well nonetheless.

It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.

*  *  * 

I think JESSICA have smashed it out of the park (YET AGAIN!!!) with this collection! The colour selection is PERFECT for Spring and the warmer months - I do maintain that pastel nails are ALWAYS a good idea, so I'll be rocking these all year round!

Pastel nail polish formulas have a tendency to be bad (apply sheer, patchy and require multiple coats to look decent). JESSICA Cosmetics really have a way of creating amazing quality nail polish, and this collection is no different. The formulas of these pastel polishes are simply flawless - they apply beautifully and dry relatively fast! 
I am in awe!

My personal favourites from the collection are; Pumpkin Spice, Earl Grey & Lavender Love. 

I love that JESSICA nail colours are Cruelty Free, Vegan and 7-Free which means they are free from nasty chemicals like Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, DBP, Camphor, Xylene and Ethyl Tosylamide - so they are gentle on you and the environment!

JESSICA polishes are available in classic and trend-setting shades with a huge variety of finishes including; creme, matte, metallic, glitter, opalescent, sheer and frost.
I cannot wait to try out some more! Definitely recommend!
