Back in the days when I was an active YouTube vlogger and watcher, I came across the effeversent and bubbly Julie G. I loved everything about her videos. She had the “BFF” vibe, and was always showcasing something beautiful when it came to beauty and nails. I met her in person at The Makeup Show NYC and she was just as sweet in person. A while back, Jessie’s Girl Cosmetics and Julie G. partnered up to launch a Julie G. nail polish line.
Um…that’s only the biggest deal EVER. Who runs the world? Clearly bloggers and vloggers! π I’ve only got a few of these polishes to showcase (Jessie’s Girl isn’t sold in my area *tears*) but luckily I can order more online. Woo hooooo!
Gelato in Venice is a green mint that reminds me a lot of pistachio gelato. It’s creamy and like most pastel shades it gave me a few troubles with uneven application. I only had to apply 2 coats to straighten it out though. I’ve been wearing this shade for FOUR days now. I love love love!
Fierce and Fab is a pleasant surprise because it’s a matte! ‘Scuse the ugly bottle on this one. I’m not sure how the image got all wonky. I was annoyed with matte polishes when the whole world was doing them but now that they aren’t so popular, applying this one gave me so much joy. It’s a gorgeous magenta and I think I’ve seen this shade somewhere before but who cares. I am loving revisiting mattes.
Pink Tiara is a sparkly pink that is completely opaque with only 2 coats! It does great as a layering polish too. One coat will give you just enough to cover a polish but it’s refreshing to come across glitters that don’t require 30 coats to completely cover the nail lines.
Dance in the Dark is a blue polish with neon purple glitter. The glitter is pretty muted on the nail and I wish it translated more the way it does in the bottle. Still – it’s a very pretty true blue with personality.
Julie G. nail polishes are sold at Rite Aid and online for only $3.99. There are a toooon of beautiful shades and finishes so if you’re not feeling any of these, chances are you’ll run into something you like. More than anything, I think this collection appeals to me because it just shows how much of a positive impact us beauty vloggers and bloggers have when it comes to brands. I’m not gonna lie – I get a bit emotional about it. I am so so proud of Julie and will continue supporting her.
Have you tried any of these polishes yet? And who else desperately needs a Rite Aid in their city?
i get that bbf vibe from julieg too!i think her polishes look really nice. im normally just an OPI or china glaze girl,but i think im going to have to break down and order some online too. i dnt have a rite aid near me,either. that dark blue color looks fab on you.
I love JulieG polishes! Gelato in Venice is one of my faves. Don’t you just wish we could get these in FL? π
I know, right?! It’s just such a shame that we can’t.
I need a Rite Aid in my area STAT, instant gratification:)!!! I like the colors of all the polishes but the Fierce and fab is brightening up my morning.
Rite Aid, branch ouuuuuuut!!!!!! 8)
Those colors are gorgeous! Sadly, I don’t have a Rite Aid in my city π
Every time you post about nail polishes, I am always in awe of how beautiful your nails turn out! When I do my nails, they don’t look as nice and polished as yours! What’s your secret? Can you do a post of what you do? Like how you prep your nails before you paint them, how you paint them and such? That would be so great! Thanks!
Thanks lovely! I’ve got no real secrets but I’ll definitely draft a post of my technique. Not that it’s anything special. π
Love her polishes!
Julie G is a big reason I got back into makeup. I spent hours on her youtube channel. I remember how excited she was when she launched the original Julie G line. I wish I could find these locally, because I would love to try them! That pink glitter one looks so damn pretty.
Isn’t it? Julie rocks! Crossing my fingers that the brand spreads out to more cities.
