Jessica Glamorama: Glitterati; Hot, Hot, Hot; and Magic Spell

The post in which I am disappointed four times. :(

First, that the Glamorama Posh Petites kit didn't have six polishes in it, which the text suggests, but three.  The next three disappointments were with the polishes themselves.  Pics and reviews after the jump.



All three of the polishes were a major letdown after the Spicy Dream collection.  The two glitters were extremely sparse and weren't opaque in even four coats, and the red shimmer was brushstrokey, a boring color and took forever to dry.  

Glitterati is a bronze, gold and copper glitter in a clear base.  All swatches are four coats and no top coat.

Hot, Hot, Hot is a red and silver glitter in a red jelly base.  This one was at least opaque in four coats, but really, that is not an endorsement--for four coats, the color better be different and fabulous!  All swatches are four coats without top coat.

Magic Spell is an orange-red shimmer.  It was opaque in two coats, but showed a lot of brush strokes and took forever to dry.  All swatches are two coats without top coat.

I feel really let down, both in thinking I was getting all six polishes for such a bargain and in the polishes I did get.  If I feel the need for more Jessica polishes, I'll buy them at Ninja Polish, where the price is good and they don't use ambiguously-worded product descriptions!
