Jessica Cosmetics is back with their classic creme formulas for their summer 2018 Gypsy Spirit Collection. I feel like a lot of brands went with festival themes and bohemian vibes, and Jessica followed suit. There's a nice mix of brights in this collection, without being neon, so it's a different summer vibe!

Festival Fuchsia: 1-2 coats. This is a heavily pigmented fuchsia creme. Definitely an easy one coater and definitely can stamp. It's super rich, and leveled out nicely on its own.

Flower Crown: 2 coats plus top coat. This one is a bit neon, so it needed top coat so it could shine. It's a little more green in person, but green-teal-turquoise colors are always gorgeous in the summer. It's very beachy.

Mojave Desert: 2 coats. This is very much a girly pink, but it's almost a neon pastel. The formula was excellent. I fully expected this to be a streaky mess, and as you see, it's definitely not. It's creamy and goes on smoothly. Although can someone tell me what a desert has to do with pink!? lol.

Oasis: 2 coats. Love blues like this and this one has no staining as I wore it for a few days with my Mets manicure last month. It's vibrant but muted--does that even make sense? I feel like this shade of blue is always my favorite.

Sahara Sun: 2 coats. Another great formula--I also used this one with my Mets nail art. I feel like a summer collection without an orange is incomplete. This is a great orange.

Vio-Light: 2 coats plus top coat. This is the only shimmer in the collection, and it almost feels out of place. I like the color, but these cremes were all so creamy and shiny, and even with top coat, this color looks almost dull. It's definitely a spring color. Either way, if you like purple and shimmers, this one is nice.

The Gypsy Spirit collection may not be groundbreaking, but the 1-2 coat formulas on the cremes means they will stamp well and they also last well. I wore my Mets nail art for days and eventually took it off so I could swatch this collection! This collection is available now and each color retails for $9.
I'll be back with nail art in July probably. Between Indie Expo Canada, Polish Con NY (which I attended/am attending) and an academic conference, I'm so busy that I'm just trying to share the colors with you!

It's always nice to have some good cremes in the stash but I definitely agree that shimmer is a little out of place! Great job from Jessica!
ReplyDeleteWhen all the cremes were so rich, the shimmer looked almost dull. The cremes are amazing.
DeleteI love that these will stamp too. Great swatches!
ReplyDeleteI really like the colours of these although I really wish they had done some reason and not named the collection with a derogatory slur.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird that I'm drawn to Sahara Sun - the orange is really speaking to me. Great swatches!
ReplyDeleteMy pick is Oasis. Yay for a rich blue that doesn't stain the nails!
ReplyDeleteI all these rich colors!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Jessica around in a long time. It's nice to see what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great summer cream collection. The shades are so saturated and rich
ReplyDeleteSahara sun is such a stunning orange! That's one color I really need in my nail polish collection!
ReplyDeleteI like Flower Crown! The name and colors!
ReplyDeleteBlue green is my favorite color (maybe because I lived in the southwest for so long)! But I think Flower Crown with a coral and black design would look AMAZING!
