Jessica Spicy Dream Collection Fall 2012 Swatches and Review

Another gorgeous nail color collection for fall 2012. This one takes the traditional route of vampy reds and shimmery autumn earth tones and I'm quite happy about that. There are some fantastic polishes in here, exactly the kinds of colors I want to see in fall.


Jessica 734 Cinnamon Kiss. A vampy blackened red shimmer. This has a little gold shimmer and just a hint of a gold flash to it. The color is very rich and jewel-like and I find it to be quite sexy.


Jessica 735 Pumpkin Delight. Holy crap. This is amazing. It's a multi-colored duochrome foil and it has pumpkin in its name. It's like it was made for me! The base color is mostly a red-orange speckled foil with lots of red, gold, bronze and wine accents. The polish itself has a red-orange to gold duochrome color shift and it looks different in every type of lighting. The foil finish is dense and sparkly and you can see distinct yet small particles of many different colors mixed throughout the polish.


Jessica 736 Gingersnap. Very similar to Pumpkin Delight, just in different foil colors. In Gingersnap I see mainly brown and gold with red, green, purple and orange accents. The duochrome effect in this one is a shift from darker red-brown to lighter yellow-gold. The almost glittery sparkle and the multicolored speckled foil finish are present in this one as well. Very interesting color, so many different things going on in it. Reminds me of colors like OPI Pros and Bronze or Warm and Fozzy.


Jessica 737 Crimson Tattoo. Very dark vampy wine red creme. Really, really dark. With only one coat it's a really pretty plum-red jelly, but it's a little bit uneven with just the one coat. The second coat gives it its blackened appearance.


Jessica 738 Champagne Bubbles. Light silvery champagne foil. There are little hints of orange and gold mixed in with platinum and champagne, so it's not a straight single-color foil. It's like a much more subtle yet rougher version of OPI Designer, De Better.


Jessica 739 Brown Sugar. A red-toned brown frost. That pretty much says it all.

The formula on these was good. It was thick but even and smooth-applying. The brushes were back to normal so application was much easier than it was with the spring collection. I did three very thin coats of each, though only Champagne Bubbles actually needed the third coat. The rest were opaque in two, but more intense and rich with three. Dry time is on the long side.

Fantastic fall collection. I absolutely adore Pumpkin Delight and Gingersnap. Cinnamon Kiss and Crimson Tattoo are gorgeous as well, just not really unique. Champagne Bubbles is meh and Brown Sugar is downright hideous on me, but the rest are autumn perfection. I really love rich oranges, reds, golds and browns in fall so this collection hit all the right notes with me. They even added a little bit of duochrome, how about that! The only thing I really dislike about the collection is the name- Spicy Dream???
