Essie Jam n Jelly

Recently I have been trying to branch out with the colours that I wear on my nails.  For a long time I only really wore reds but recently I have discovered that reddy pinks look really nice (ok I know I am not being that adventurous!) so on Friday I decided to try Essie's Jam n Jelly shade.  It's a rich fuchsia pink that has some shimmer in it.  It looks gorgeous in the bottle so I couldn't resist it!


As normal, I am wearing a base coat, two coats of the colour and Seche Vite topcoat.


I think this colour is cute but I have to admit I don't love it on me.  I think my skintone just doesn't go with this shade!  Also I was reminded that the shimmer/metallic effect isn't for me - I think this is just a personal thing, I used to wear metallic colours when I was a little girl and now when I look at any metallic colours (especially a pink one) it just makes me think of the 1980s!!


So whilst I wouldn't choose this shade again I think it would look nice on someone with a different skintone to mine (pale with cool undertones).  

I am glad I tried this colour however, if you don't try you'll never know what you could be missing out on!
