Jessica Pumpkin Delight

Swatches & Review
Last week, I posted another color from Jessica's Fall Spicy Dream collection, Gingersnap. This week, I have Pumpkin Delight from the same collection! Pumpkin Delight is a multi-shimmer color with a foil-like finish, like Gingersnap. It is more red-toned compared to Gingersnap, which leans more to the brown side.

Pumpkin Delight is a red-orange shade with flecks of gold-bronze & red in it. Although my swatches do not show the duo-chrome on it much, it is definitely a lot more noticeable in the sun & it looks amazing! The shimmer in it is smooth and not gritty. It was a bit on the thick side so wipe off the excess nail polish from the brush on the rim of the bottle or it will look goopey on the nail. I used two coats for this.


I really like this shade. Like Gingersnap and Warm & Fozzie, it makes me feel all warm. Although this is for fall, I feel like this would also be perfect for the Holidays. When I look at Pumpkin Delight, it makes me want some Pumpkin Pie for some Pumpkin Spiced Palette. Even though today is the first day of Autumn (perfect shade for the day!), it's still very sunny and looking at Pumpkin Delight, it makes me think of how I can not wait until it gets all cold and driving around in the car with the heater on (which is something I love to do). It was a bit thick, but making the first coat thinner than the second coat definitely helps. Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn! :)

Comparison: Jessica Gingersnap - OPI Warm & Fozzie

Today, I am going to do a comparison post with Jessica's Gingersnap and OPI's Warm & Fozzie. Jessica's Gingersnap is part of their 2012 Fall Collection: Spicy Dream. OPI's Warm & Fozzie was released last year as part of their 2011 Holiday Muppets Collection.
I purchased two Jessica polishes yesterday and when I came home, I realized Gingersnap looks really close to Warm & Fozzie. They are both packed with gold-ish shimmer, bronze and has a slight duo-chrome to it.
In the bottle, they look like they can be alike.

If you look at it, they seem similar, but they are not the same. It seems that Warm & Fozzie has a darker base color to it compared to Gingersnap, but they are definitely close enough that you do not need both. Warm & Fozzie is one of my favorite shades from last year's Holiday releases because it makes me feel all warm & fuzzy when I look at it, so I do not mind that I have two colors that are quite similar. Both only required two coats for full opacity and it did not take long to dry. How do you feel when you purchase 2+ nail polishes that are very similar to each other?
