NEW JulieG Limited Edition Frosted Gum Drops Collection!
Disclosure: I was compensated by the manufacturer for these photographs but the opinions in this post are my own.
I apologize in advance. I’m going to be obnoxious today. I’m soooo excited about today’s news because I’ve been bursting to share it with you for a few reasons – most importantly…I love this polish!!! It’s the NEW JulieG Limited Edition Frosted Gum Drops Collection!
First, the backstory. In early January, Jesse’s Girl Cosmetics contacted me and asked if I’d like to shoot a photo for their new JulieG limited edition textured polish collection called Frosted Gum Drops. The photo would be used in the collection’s displays at Rite Aid stores nationwide. I replied calmly (to THE real-life Jesse), “Why, yes, I would be very interested.” And then I hung up the phone and jumped and screamed and embarrassed my family. If you don’t know her, you should. JulieG (JulieG713) is a top beauty vlogger (over 400K subscribers!!!). She’s also the first blogger/vlogger to get her very own mainstream nail polish line. So naturally, as a polish blogger, I’m semi-obsessed with her story. And I just knew her polish would be good! This collection was the TOP SECRET PROJECT Julie mentioned in her video a few weeks ago (a little after the 7-minute mark).
So fast forward to today. Jesse’s Girl is graciously letting me be the first to post about it! The Limited Edition Frosted Gum Drops collection consists of six candy-colored, textured polishes in fun and daring shades from gummy red to berry blue. JulieG’s Frosted Gum Drops need no top coat and shine with a matte finish.
- Hot Cinnamon: Hot-red with a glitter finish
- Rock Candy: Teal infused with silver glitter
- Blueberry Fizz: Berry blue mixed with shiny silver glitter
- Crushed Candy: Pure purple with silver sparkle appeal
- Sugar Rush: Bright reddish-pink with pops of gold glitter
- Tangerine Dream: Citrus orange with specs of sparkle
These beauties will be available soon at Rite Aid stores nationwide and on the Jesse’s Girl website (THEY SHIP INTERNATIONALLY TOO!). The best part? They retail for only $3.99!
I’ve tried a few textured polishes now and these really do stand out. First…the bright, vibrant colors! What we’ve seen from OPI and Zoya have been darker or more muted. Milani’s textured polishes are vibrant, but the finish is different. The Frosted Gum Drop polishes each have a unique silver or gold glittery shine. The effect is very cool. Plus, out of all the textured polishes I’ve tried, these were by far the easiest to apply. I still can’t believe they’re only $3.99!
And finally, here’s a photo of the display which will be in Rite Aid stores soon. See those fingers? Those nails? They’re mine! In spite of my blabbing on and on about it, I really am quite humbled by it. It’s the coolest “nail thing” to happen to me since I started blogging. And here’s a fun fact – the polishes arrived nameless. I didn’t learn the names of each color until today!
Jesse’s Girl isn’t carried at Rite Aid stores in my area (Southwestern Ohio – specifically the Dayton area). But commenters tell me JulieG IS available in the northwest area of the Ohio market near Cleveland. So I’ll have to take a road trip to see the display in person. If any of you are out and about and see it (expect it in the March/April timeframe), please take a photo for me! :)

Yay! So awesome! Way to go!!
I love these colors too!!
Thanks! Yes…they’re perfect for summer! I’m thinking pedicures too!
Too bad they took your photo and cropped it to put over the giant gumdrops. You photo alone looks so much better!
Awww. Thanks, Robin. I’m just honored to be included. I’m no spring chicken so maybe they were cropping out my “mom” hands?? LOL.
wow the polish is spot on. it makes me think of my grandma who always had the candy around
They truly do look like candy. The gumdrops I’m holding in the pics? I literally picked those up at a Speedway Gas Station on my way home from work. Who knew they’d be perfect!!
Reblogged this on Add a Little Polish … and commented:
I just discover work/play/polish! She is incredibly talented and creative, and I love that she supports other YouTuber’s! You should definitely go check her out!
Jaimie, thank you so much for your dear compliments and for supporting me, as i support her. Blogging is more fun this way, isnt’ it?
Yes definitely! Its great, I love discovering new people and your creativity completely inspires me! I cannot wait to read more!
Love them!! really does look like candies! Gosh, I sure wish awesome polishes like these are more available in my country (for affordable price as well!) Sigh!!
Lacqueerisa, I do believe Jesse’s Girl ships internationally from their website. I will confirm that for you. Thanks for reading!
that is incredibly exciting! I’ve been wanting to try textured polish, but just didn’t want to pay a lot for a polish I might not like. Which of the colors was your favorite overall?
That’s a tough question. The only one you don’t see at all in my pics is Tangerine Dream. They are all very beautiful and actually impossible to pic a favorite!
What color is on your middle finger, if not Tangerine Dream?
Well, now I’m second guessing. Remember, I don’t have the names on the bottles. I’m pretty sure the middle finger is Sugar Rush (second from the right in the lineup and third from the left in the display) Tangerine Dream is a much lighter orange.
I’m pretty sure the orangey color on your nails IS Tangerine Dream. The bottle photos make it look more yellow than it is, at least on a white background (it looks different on a black background!). From what I can tell, from thumb to pinkie, you’re wearing Blueberry Fizz, either Hot Cinnamon or Sugar Rush (I haven’t seen these two in person yet so I’m not sure!), Tangerine Dream, Crushed Candy, and Rock Candy.
It’s hard when your bottles don’t have names on them – it’s even harder when you don’t have any bottles in front of you to work from! ;) I’m still jealous that you got your hands on these before I did!
These are gorgeous! I’d love to try them.
Congratulations on getting one of your awesome photos used :)
Thank you dear! Thanks for reading!!
Wow congratulations!!!
I don’t know if I should wear these polishes, I might eat my fingers, I’m kind of addicted to frosted gum drops! The polishes look very bright and I really like that :D
I love the brightness about them! That’s the first thing that struck me. See, when I got these in January, no one had their hands on PixieDust or Liquid Sand yet – so I didn’t really know what to expect.
I haven’t really cared for the looks of the other collections that have come out with this finish, but these look so good! I’m definitely going to get Hot Cinnamon and Tangerine Dream, I think they are going to be great summer colors!
You must share your mani pics! :)
Wow I love them! I think a road trip is definitely a good idea!
Yes, let’s go. We can tell our husbands they are REALLY hard to find and we might be gone for weeks. LOL
Congrats – that is SUCH a big deal!!!! the polishes are cool, gonna keep an eye out for them and the display!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I read your posts so I know you well. Is that creepy? LOL
This is incredibly exciting news and you totally deserve it, your nails and photos are among the best! Congratulations!!! SUCH gorgeous polishes as well, I think I’ll have to pick these up!
Alexis, Thank you!!! That means so much coming from you…I’m such an XOXO Alexis Leigh fan girl!! :D
No way, that’s awesome! It’s so weird to me when bloggers I love tell me they like my blog! Thank you so much! :D
Congratulations! How exciting!
Sara, I’ve missed you! Congrats on the baby!!
Thank you! He’ll be here come July- when it’s nice and HOT! :)
Leslie -
Thank you again SO SO MUCH for working with us on this!
<3,
Christine and the rest of the Jesse's Girl team :)
Christine, you guys have been a total dream to work with – proven positively by you taking the time out to comment on my blog. Jesse’s Girl is going in an amazing direction and I’m glad to be a small part of it! :)
We’re glad to have you as a part of our Jesse’s Girl family! :)
This is so awesome! Congratulations!
Thank you Emily. You are always so sweet and thoughtful.
Oh how awesome is that!! Congrats!
It is awesome, right? I can’t believe it actually happened. I thought there’d be five different changes before it all went live. But nope, Jesse’s Girl knew what they were doing and stuck with the plan. I’ve been super impressed.
You made that easy for us with your gorgeous photos, Leslie!
That’s so awesome, congratulations! And oooo those polishes are so pretty!
We don’t have Rite Aid here though, sadness!
We’ll also have them for sale on our website, and US orders of $20 or more get free shipping!
When will these be up on the website? I cant wait!!
We’re hoping to have them up in March, and in stores soon after. I’ll be letting Leslie know as soon as they go up so she can update everyone here! :)
And don’t worry for a minute. I will stalk Christine until she tells me. :)
they look awesome, also I’m now craving fruit drops! mmmmmm
They do have that effect! :)
Wow !!! Congrats !! Beautiful pics as always ! Those look great. Sadly – my local Rite Aid never gets good displays :(
You can get them online too at the Jesse’s Girl site – plus free shipping for orders over $20. Pretty good deal, I think!
WoW!! Seriously, this is SO exciting and so very well deserved! Congrats and an advanced thank you for all the trips I’ll be making to Rite Aid until they get these beauties in!!
Great. Stacy. I was hoping you’d say that. I’m counting on your for a pic!? :D
For sure, I have no problem being the crazy chick taking polish pictures for one of my favorite bloggers! :)
Congrats! And I am drooling over the Sugar Rush and Tangerine Cream!!!!!!!! HURRY up RITE AID! I must, I must, I must purchase these!
Just a month or two to wait. Just in time for bright summer nails!
Julie’s nail polishes are carried in Ohio Rite Aids. I’ve bought them there before. I’m on the west side of Cleveland. They’re there.
Ann, thanks for letting me know. I’m in Dayton. I’ll correct the post and find out the specifics. :D
holy crap! that’s so awesome. i’ve love julie for so long and all of her polishes are awesome. now i need these too.
Thanks for visiting, Danielle! It’s great to hear from a Julie fan!
I am loving these!! Will be on the look-out at our nearest Rite-Aid! ;)
Joy, I think you were one of my first regular readers. Thanks for sticking around and reading.
Oh My darling, this is exciting news!!
Congratulations and I absolutely am not shocked. You totally deserve to be seen Nationwide!
Your swatches look awesome, and I quite agree, Your nails should be the center piece, not put up high on the giant gum drops. Lol…
Ok, Maybe I’m being partial to you here but You can’t blame me.. AMAZING swatches lady!!!
Looking forward to these.
Lizzy, these are such sweet and thoughtful comments. Thank you. Truly. :)
Such adorable packaging and marketing. I much prefer it to labeling this texture as concrete (like the Barry M) xx
I couldn’t agree more, Coco! This thought actually crossed my mind. Especially heading into summer. Concrete polishes make me think of concrete bricks tied to someones legs then getting thrown into the ocean. Ok. LOL….maybe I took that too far. But you know what I mean. :D
I’m not sure why I’m stalking the comments on this post lol but oh my gosh, HAHAHA your response made me laugh so hard
Alexis…I wish there was a like button on comments. I laughed that you laughed. So funny. Good to know other bloggers stalk bloggers like I do! :D
These are gorgeous!!! I’ll have to order some of them when they go up online! Beautiful pictures! : )
I’ll post as soon as their available!
That is really so awesome, congratulations!
The polishes really do look amazing too, not sure if we will get these in Canada, but I can cross my fingers.
Way to go girl!
Thanks, Shannon. We’ve been reading each other’s blogs for a long time. So a really appreciate you stopping in to stay congrats!
Yay! Thats so exciting! Cant wait to see your pics at rite aid soon!!!
Me neither! Woot! I was supposed to do 3 swatches and one nail art mani for Digit-al Dozen theme week. Nope. I just stared at the computer. :P
So excited! Love that teal
Thanks! Me too. The teal is awesome.
love love love it! You did an amazing job and I can’t wait to get these. All of them! xo
Thanks, girl…my blogging sensei! <3
Wow, congratulations! Very cool
Thanks, Brijit!
I wanna eat your nails! Gosh this is sooo cute.
They do look like candy, don’t they? :)
That is so awesome, congrats!
Thank you!
Such a great looking polish! Loving the green shade – thanks for sharing :D
Rock Candy is an awesome teal. Thanks for reading & leaving a comment!
Oh Gosh, they are so pretty and funny! <3 Our italian brand Kiko is selling a type of polish very similar to this! Hopefully I can buy some of them and show swatches on posts to come!
I’d love to see them, Luisa. Let me know when you post. Also, Jesse’s Girl ships internationally!
Awesome, thanks for the info, I’ll keep that in mind! ;)
I love Julie g I’m a long time subscriber to her YouTube channel and I love how the jesses girl polishes are so affordable. I’ve got a few but none from the Julie g collection. Definitely wanting to get some soon just need to get some other most wanted polishes out of the way!! P.S: now I want some sweets lol and it’s midnight here right now.. So probably not a good idea.
So much polish…so little time! :D Thanks for stopping by!
That’s fabulous, so proud of you & congrats! It’s great to see mainstream brands collaborate with bloggers, at least people take you seriously in the US :)
Yulia, I don’t know how I missed your comment my first time through. It’s been such a great appearance to have other bloggers be excited for me. I hope this is a sign of the times and more companies will see the benefits of engaging with the blogging community – both in the US and abroad! Thanks for reading. :)
YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!! Yes, I’m shouting! :-D
Thank you, Susan. You are the most gracious blogger ever.
Wish they would sell these in the netherlands! They look so gorgeous :-)
You can get them online! And they’re so affordable – that should offset expensive international shipping. They are even prettier in person.
Such a fun collection! I cannot wait to get my hands on them! They will definitely be fun to blog about!
Let me know when you do, Miranda. I’d love to see your post!
Holy cow, Leslie! You’re getting famous big time! You deserve the fame! Love your pics. And of course I’d love to have these polishes :D
You are so sweet. Thank you! You know I’ve followed you from the very beginning! :)
OK, just looked at all these photos again. It’s official — I’m going to buy every one of the polishes. We don’t have a Rite Aid at all so I’ll order them online as soon as I can! <3
Yes! You must! I have a Rite Aid right down the street – but no Jesse’s Girl. Boo. I was thinking about picketing or petitioning or asking to speak to the manager. LOL.
OMG, CONGRATS!! That’s an amazing opportunity AND the polishes are to die for. Way to go :D
Thank you, Emma!!
Wow, yummi! Your nails look gorgeous dressed in these pretties!
Thanks, Josephine! I LOVE your mani you posted today!
How awesome!!! Congratulations!!! You deserve it! <3 <3
Aww. Thank you, Tes! I just followed you.
Reblogged this on Law of Polish and commented:
So Pretty….
Thanks for the reblog, Tiffanie!
That is so cool! Congratulations!
Thank you, Rebecca. I still can’t believe it myself!
Ugh!! No Rite Aids anywhere in my area…looks like I’ll be stalking the website! Fabulous photos, and so cool that they used for the display! Congrats!!
It has certainly been fun. I’m in a different boat. We have Rite Aids around here (one just right down the road) but none in the area carry Jesse’s Girl. So I might be stalking the site right a long with you. :)
Congrats babe, so cool this happened to you! And yes, these look very pretty and bright :). Too bad they aren’t sold here :(.
Thanks, Deborah. You are so sweet. That means a lot coming from you. :) You can order them internationally off the website. Does that help?
I just discovered your blog. I love it. I hope they get these on the website soon. I do not have Rite Aid where I live.:(
Hi Lori. I’m glad you found me! I believe they’ll be available on the website before you can get them in stores. So we’ll all be tracking the website at the same time. LOL
Congratulations!
thanks, girl! :P
Well deserved!
Hi! I love reading your blog, and just wanted to let you know I think you deserve the Sunshine Award! Read more about it here: http:/kaitlynseigneuray.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/more-about-that-sunshine-i-mentioned/ :)
Thans, Kaitlyn, I’m quite honored. Do you have a contact form on your site. I’d like to shoot you a note later.
I’m attempting to figure out how to add that haha, but if you’d like you can email me at kseigneuray@gmail.com
Genius collection and branding! Congrats!
I didn’t do any of the genius stuff, Olivia. I just slapped on the polish and took a pic. The company was amazing to work with so all around it’s been a great experience.
I enjoy reading your blog and I am nominating you for the One Lovely Blog Award! I have also listed your blog on http:/cosmeticaitlin.com/2013/03/03/one-lovely-blog-award/
Thank you, Caitlin. It’s always such an honor to be nominated. I’m going to send you a private note. Is your email linked on your blog?
Yes, it should be in the about section, if not here it is!
cosmeticaitlin@gmail.com
:)
Sorry I meant the contact me section :P
These look great! I think I prefer these over the Milani ones! :-)
Deidra, the Milani’s dried almost rubbery. Like rubber with sand in it. LOL. I’m not sure if I applied it wrong or just had a bad batch???
Well that’s very exciting news, they look awesome, and I’m friends with Jesse’s daughter Christine, they are a awesome family, very warm and kind, so congratulations and I’m looking forward to getting these.
How many coats did you apply? Also, how difficult is it to remove the polish? I’m thinking about pre-ordering! :)
This is two coats each. It’s a little more difficult to remove than regular polish – but still easier than most full-on glitters. I didn’t use the foil method, but I did use acetone. I hope that helps.
I just discovered your blog today when I googled about this collection. You have beautiful nails! I got SO excited when I read that you live in the Dayton area…ME TOO! Feels good to know other polish lovers are close! I feel like I have seen this brand at a rite aide..not sure. If I do see it around here I will let you know! :)
Yeah, Misty! A fellow Daytonian! I’m glad you found me. Yes, please let me know if you see it in a Rite Aid in town and I will race on over!
Daytonians! Rite Aid in Brookville carries Jesse’s Girl/JulieG polish. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Jesse’s Girl stuff at the one across from the Kroger Marketplace store on Union Road (Englewood) too.
Congrats and thanks for sharing. Just ordered mine, but shhh, don’t tell my hubby!! ;)
I was on the fence regarding the textured polish trend but these look really good on you! Really resemble gum drops, haha…tempted to order them but dreading the international shipping costs….
This is so exciting! The colors look awesome. just wish there was a green and white like the gum drops. I love Julie G and her polishes. I too live in the southwestern Ohio area. In Cincinnati so no availability here. Guess i will be getting them off line.
