Morning, all!! Remember that blogger from a couple years back who had a compilation of the worst polish names? Anyway, Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low is my second top choice from Essie's Winter 2014 collection, and the anchor/namesake of the collection. One of the articles I read on the subject (and I can't for the life of me remember who wrote it) stated that wearing metallics is a thing again and I was quite clueless... I get exhausted just thinking about following trends. Anyway (again), if Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low means metallics are in again, then it's a perfect and gorgeous way to start wearing the trend (if you're into that kind of thing... and even if you're not). Ironically, it's also one of the more festive and holiday traditional polishes of the collection.
I've been a fan of gold nails as soon as I discovered that gold polish exists. Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low is a champagne gold, more of a foil than a metallic, possessing all of the gleam and none of the streakiness that tend to plague true metallics. It's basically a white gold base supersaturated with microshimmer and very finely milled buttery yellow gold flecks for added dimension. It's one of those colors that look like precious, molten metal going on and dries to a bright, dazzling, liquid like finish.

Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low boasts a perfectly flowing and perfectly pigmented formula. One coat will cover your nail beautifully. I used two to mask imperfections.
Bottom line? I LOVE this polish and it further solidifies my love of this collection. I find myself wanting to go back for a couple more.
So... Were metallics/foils really not cool for a while? Do you care?
Thank you for reading, and have an amazing day!! ♥
Very pretty! I love a good glass fleck metallic like this!
ReplyDeleteI do, too! They're just magical going on :)
DeleteThis one is very nice!
ReplyDeleteI agree :)
DeleteOh man, this is so pretty! I'll be needing this! Great swatches
ReplyDeleteThank you!! So pigmented, too... might work in a watermarble?...
DeleteHaha, that name is cringe-worthy, but I love the color on you! Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteA rose by any other name, right? lol :) Thank you :)
DeleteGorgeous silver this is! Awesome to hear formula was great too.
ReplyDeleteYes, the formula's fantastic!
DeleteLooks great on you. I really like polishes like this, but I always feel like they don't look that great on me :( You show them well though!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet :) It's more silver than gold, more so than champagne gold, really... Might I tempt you to give it a try? ;)
DeleteVery pretty! Do you know if it's similar to OPI Designer de Better?
ReplyDeleteNo idea, sorreh...
DeleteOh, I need to buy this!
ReplyDeleteDO EET!!!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous silver! I love this one :-)
ReplyDeleteYou should get it, doll! I'd love to see your swatches of it.
DeleteSuch a pretty foil!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is ♥
DeleteGorgeous swatches. So much depth to the polish.
ReplyDeleteThere really is, especially in two coats.
DeleteI like the added gold, makes it a little more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, it makes it special :)
DeleteWeird name -- GORGEOUS polish!
ReplyDeletePrecisely :)
DeleteLooks so good! I loving metals for accenting and I think I must pick up this shade if I find it.
ReplyDeleteRight on, this would make an absolutely gorgeous accent! I hope one turns up near you ♥
DeleteVery pretty shade!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is ♥♥
DeleteI never find the new shades from Essie where I live... but I'm always intrigued by what they offer... because I don't see much but a display of about 20 or so shades. This one is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThey always intrigue me, too... Like the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. The colors might not always be unique, but the color schemes certainly are. So Essie doesn't ship seasonal collections to HI? They should! That's just silly, lol :)
DeleteOoh pretty! It looks very similar to A England Excalibur (new version) only more silver-y.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought! I should do a comparison. The new Excalibur has bigger gold bits, of that I'm certain.
DeleteThis is a really pretty polish and it looks rich. But that name is pure backwoods trash.
ReplyDeleteUgh, it really is. One of my fb gals had a nice thought, that it was supposed to be Jingle Hi, Jingle Low. Let's think that. Much nicer.
Deleteone coat!! wow!! gorgeous silver =)
ReplyDeleteWell, this is two... But yes, one will suffice, especially if you're not taking close-ups, lol ;)
