Jessica Cosmetics Going Places, Fall 2023

Press Sample

I actually have not received a collection from Jessica Cosmetics in a while (according to my blog, Spring 2022) but then this randomly showed up mid-October. Of course, that was Ehmkay Nails Halloween month, so I did not swatch anything. Then November just zoomed by. Well, my nails are a wreck. I think it's the 60 degree then 30 degree days. I really wanted to wait to swatch these polishes but Mr. Ehmkay said no one wants to see a fall collection in December, swatch them now!

The Going Places collection feature 6 delicious cremes. Although it is a fall collection, these are 100% year round polishes!

Unfinished Business: 3 coats plus top coat. This is a lavender-based beige. I love colors like this, but they don’t love me. They always give me zombie hands, so I usually stick to using them for nail art. But it’s a beautiful color. Just watch out if you have yellow undertones like me. You can almost get away with two coats, but I had a few balding spots so I opted for a third thin one.

Chance Encounters: 2 coats. This one has a lot more pink in it so it is much more flattering on my skin tone. It is definitely one of those colors that is popular amongst a larger crowd. It’s one I have seen before and not a color I specifically gravitate towards, but I appreciate the 2 coat formula.

Look Both Ways: 2 coats. This one is a dusty, coral pink, and I love it. It’s not new by any means, but it is a great staple to have in your collection. If you don’t have one already. And the formula is great. I also feel like this is a color that will look awesome on any skin tone.

Keep Up: 2 coats. Make sure that you give this one a shake before use because the first coat was very thin that I thought I would need more then I realized I did not shake it. But it became completely opaque on the second coat. I love this color. It’s a perfect autumn brown that has just enough orange tones in it to make it special and unique. This one is definitely a keeper. It reminds me of Zoya Cory which I just wore.

Picture Perfect: 2 coats. This is one of those deep burgundy reds that falls between autumn and holiday so it’s a great transitional color. I could also see people rocking this for January and February before spring pastels come through. I was really surprised that this one did not stain my nails because it’s so deep and pigmented.

Pop of Extravagance: 2 coats. This one looks very similar to Picture Perfect but it has a bit more purple in it. In my photos, it is a little difficult to see the difference but promise me that Picture Perfect is a bit more brown based than Pop of Extravagance.
