NEW! Julie G CORE Collection Polishes

We were finally graced with new additions to the Julie G line! I was so happy to hear the announcement and couldn't wait to make the trek to Louisiana to scoop them up! The colors don't disappoint!

The one thing I wish was clearer, is that they are not, in fact a new collection, as I had assumed. While on the hunt, I was looking for some kind of display. It was by chance that I happened to look deeper into the regular display and notice them there!

The first polish is called Something Blue. It is a deep teal creme. It has excellent coverage and pigmentation. The pictures below are only one coat. I don't have anything close to it in my collection. I really thought it would be close to Zoya Dagmara, but it is more on the blue side of teal. Make sure you've got a base coat on underneath, because it's got mad staining power!

The next color is called Your Majesty. It is a light lavender with a subtle flash of gold shimmer. This definitely is a signature Julie polish. She is good at creating fairylike whimsical colors. It is in the same vein as Cupcakes & Castles, Freshly Squeezed, and Stiletto - all lighter or neutral colors with subtle shimmery flare. Or as I would like to call them - Silent Assasins!

This polish has a good formula and coverage. The shimmer shows up a lot better in person, but it's definitely more prominent in the bottle. There are a lot if these types of light puple polishes, but the ones I have different colored flashes from silver to bluish-green.

Next is probably the most highly anticipated polish in my opinion. This is called Tropical. It is a beautiful minty turquoise creme.

This has great coverage and a good formula. It just screams summer and definitely would compliment a tan. This is next on my toes!

Next up is Riviera. This is a bright kind of bubblegum pink creme. Julie G has so many pink cremes, but surprisingly none were exactly a match for this. This is brighter than any of the other pinks I have from the brand.  

Definitely pops more in the sunlight!

Lastly is Lilac Frost. This is a light pastel lilac with a gold microshimmer. This isn't very opaque, as you can see from the photos, but it really is a nice polish if you're into frosty looking colors. It's light enough that in certain light it looks white. It tended to get a little thick, so it's important to apply thin coats and make sure each coat is dry before applying the next.

Additionaly, Lilac Frost happens to be an exact dupe of the Sinful Colors x Kylie Jenner Shimmer Matte polish in North Star. Not really a price difference between the two, but if you had one you really don't need the other.

I think this is a strong comeback for Julie G after a long hiatus from the nail polish world. I enjoyed the colors as much as I enjoyed running around Shreveport trying to find them. Top picks for me are definitely Tropical and Something Blue.
