Gelato Mio Collection

Today's review is for another gorgeous Jessica Cosmetic's Collection, the Gelato Mio Collection. 

The collection is described as a "pastel-perfect collection that suggests the mouthwatering flavors of italian ice cream, and the endless possibilities of long summer nights. Its refined colour palette reflects fashion's pastel-dominated catwalks with a positive summer vibe that remains on trend.

Gelato Mio's six cool, versatile colours exude both whimsy and serious style: Strawberry Shake It, Barely Blueberry, Lime Cooler, Banana Peel, Tangerine Dreamz and Surfer Boyz 'n Berry."

The collection is full of gorgeous pastels, that are totally drool-worthy and will make you crave ice-cream and ices!


Banana Peel
One Coat:
 Two Coats:



 Banana Peel is a gorgeous pale golden yellow creme. This gorgeous yellow worried me at first, light cremes especially yellows are usually thin and watery, but Banana Peel was only a little streaky, but fully covered by 2 coats. I was pretty impressed by the formula and the creaminess of the color.

Barely Blueberry
One Coat:
 Two Coats:
 Three Coats:




Barley Blueberry is a pale light blue creme, like a light blue sky. Barely Blueberry was slightly thinner than other polishes in this collection, it was fully opaque in 3 coats. 

 Lime Cooler
One Coat:


 Two Coats:


Lime Cooler is a lime pastel creme. Lime Cooler is a bit brighter than the other pastels in this collection. The creamy green reminds me of a margarita! Or a summery lime drink! This gorgeous green was fully opaque in 2 coats.

Strawberry Shake-It
 One Coat:




Strawberry Shake It is a light pink creme. I am always worried when it comes to light pinks, they tend to be extremely watery, streaky, but Strawberry Shake It blew me away! This light pink had an amazing formula, it was fully opaque in 2 coats. 
One Coat:
Two Coats:



Surfer Boyz'n Berry is a gorgeous aqua creme. This aqua was a brighter pastel like Lime Cooler, and I love the beautiful aqua creamy color! Aqua is my favorite color, and I am thrilled to see Surfer Boyz'n Berry in this collection. The name is hilarious to me, I wonder who comes up with these names!

Tangerine Dreamz
One Coat:
Two Coats:


Tangerine Dreamz is another brighter pastel, this time a pretty tangerine orange creme. Tangerine Dreamz had a formula that was a bit difficult, but was still fully opaque in 2 coats. I am not normally a fan of oranges, they tend to be too bright for me or don't go with my skin tone, but I actually love this color!



The Gelato Mio Collection is amazing, my favorites are Surfer Boyz 'n Berry (I just love aquas) and Lime Cooler and Banana Peel and...who am I kidding I love them all! I think Jessica Cosmetics made this collection especially for me, I adore every color in this collection. I am a sucker for pastel cremes, and a collection full of them with a great formula? The formula was a bit thick which made it a little harder to even out, but the polishes still ended up beautiful! Count me in! you NEED this collection for summer, with all the bright neons coming out, its nice to see these sweet shades for a change!
