Right on the Nail ~ JINsoon Nail Polish Swatches and Review: Cool Blue

Jin Soon Cool Blue (2 coats)

Happy Saturday! I was going to do a rather large post on some brand new holiday polishes, but since viewership is usually slower on the weekend I decided to put it off until Monday. Until then, I have a beautiful color from the brand JINsoon to show you. Cool Blue is a bright cobalt blue creme that applied seamlessly. I mean, I would expect for it to apply well for $18 a polish, I really should add a matte topcoat because I think this would look fantastic mattified. It also has that fun bottle where the top comes off (like Butter London, but more square instead of rectangular). You can find this polish and others at Sephora or Nordstrom.

JINsoon 2014 Fashion Week Polish: Kookie White

JINsoon Kookie White (2 coats)

*press sample*

Let me start out by saying that I really liked the Veronica Mars movie and you should definitely go see it. I also stopped at Bath and Body Works and hoarded the $3 Wallflowers they had on sale (Garden Strawberry is my husband's favorite scent ever right now). I hope you had a nice weekend as well. 

If you're looking for a mod polish, look no further than Kookie White from JINsoon's Fashion Week collection. Is it a white? A grey? A blue? Well, it's a bit of all of those in creme form. As I keep reiterating, the application and formula was great. They also sent on their basecoat and topcoat to try out, and I was very impressed. I wore this manicure for a few days and had no chipping. I also used it on other brands and they also seemed to stand up well. The basecoat is very quick to dry to a matte finish while the topcoat is quite thick like Seche Vite and just as shiny while also being a quick dry formula. While reminding me of Seche, I did not have any shrinking or whole nails of polish popping off randomly like Seche. Well, that's all I have from JINsoon. What did you think? If you liked what you saw, you can get them from their online website or from your local Sephora store.

JINsoon Fall 2013 Tibi Collection Swatch: Azurite

JINsoon Azurite (2 coats)

How has your weekend been going so far? Today was a beautiful day so my husband and I went for a bike ride. Tomorrow it's supposed to drop around 20 degrees and rain so we're going to drive to Durham to try and see the Veronica Mars movie. Yay! 

The second Fall Tibi collection polish I have to show might be my favorite JINsoon polish out of all that I own. It's a deep sapphire blue with silver and scattered holographic shimmer. It's not Essie's Starry Starry Night, but it's in the same realm if you want something similar. Seriously, I think that this color is worth every penny of the $18, do you not agree? The color is a little bit darker in real life due to the lighting necessary to capture the shimmer. As always, the formula and application was flawless. This one is Right on the Nail Approved for purchase!

JINsoon Fall 2013 Tibi Collection Swatch: Mica

JINsoon Mica (2 coats)

Now you know that since I'm a soil scientist I was going to love the names of this collection, right? My professors have brought in pure mica, and it does indeed look a lot like this polish from JINsoon (you should Google Image some black mica to find some pretty pictures). When I first looked at it, I thought to myself, "This is a nice graphite shimmer polish." Well, to my surprise, I found out it was a scattered holo polish! Holo lovers rejoice. I've found that JINsoon polishes are extremely pigmented and have only needed 2 coats for full coverage. They are also extremely easy to work with and forgiving. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only downfall to these polishes are their price point at $18 each for 0.33 fl oz of product. You can purchase this now online or at your local Sephora store.

Jin Soon and Amy Smilovic of Tibi Fall/Winter 2013 Collection Swatch: Obsidian

Jin Soon Obsidian (2 coats)

*press sample*

I've heard of Jin Soon, but was never able to try any of their products, mostly due to the price point. Did this polish live up to the price? In my opinion, yes. Obsidian comes from a collaboration for fall and winter with Amy Smilovic and was inspired by utilitarian and layering. All polishes in this collection all contain mica to give their color and they are 5-Free. The top of the bottle is similar to Illamasqua and Butter London where there is a cap you take off to get to the brush. 

I don't know if I can put into words how beautiful this one looks. It has multiple colors, but blue, pink and gold are the dominant mica colors in a black base. The formula was slightly thin, but I had no problem with application. So, onto the price. This is going to set you back $18. Sure, it's a splurge, but it's a great polish. You can find this collection at Space NK, Sephora online and the Tibi Boutique website.
