Bittersweet. Break this bittersweet spell on me... A warm, yellowy milk chocolate brown with really subtle warm toned shimmer. Reminds me of brown leather boots. Murky, muddy and lovely. It seems so much darker on my nail than it does in the bottle, and it looks not as yellow-toned on my skin as it does in the bottle as well. Same with Victorian Crush. Something about my really red lobster hands!
Crimson Reflections... Ehh... not my thing. A deep berry red. I don't do berry so I don't have much to say about this one!
Intrigue. Ooh la la! Purple taupe! Love these types of colors. Good combination of purple, brown and grey. This is probably similar to something else but my memory is failing me at the moment. The name reminds me of one of my favorite scents from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (Intrigue!).
Majesty Blue. Jessica does some pretty fabulous blues, and this is one of the most fabulous. The base color is common- deep midnight blue shimmer- but what makes this one special are the large shimmer flecks that flash green through the blue base. Click on the indoor picture to enlarge and check out the little speckles of glitter/shimmer!
Scarlet. SUPER bright red. This is one of the few types of red I'll wear- the really bright, loud, obnoxious ones. Always makes me feel like a pin-up girl. 
The star of the collection- Victorian Crush!! Murky, yellow-toned drab olive green! LOVE! Looks different on my nail/against my skintone than it does in the bottle... Very strange... but I do adore this color. By the way, this is the base for my fail Konad from the other day. Forgot to add that detail. The formula on these was good. Thinner than I'm used to for Jessica and that was a good thing. Jessicas tend to be a little on the thick side but this new thinner formula was much easier for me to apply. No streaking or sheerness issues, the colors only needed two coats (and that's what's pictured here) but the drying time is long. Better than average for Jessica (probably because of the new thinner formula) but still on the long side.
I love these colors. Camouflage colors. Muted earth tones. Mr. Scrangie loved them too- I was showing them to him and he said, "those look like camouflage!". I think he likes camo. I do too. Bonus. No complaints about this collection... Okay, maybe one... that berry color is a snorefest! But I can't think of another color they should have done instead. Maybe a grey? Oh well. I like 5 out of 6!
These are kinda hard to find on Jessica's website, so I looked up the direct link in case you wanted to see their bottle pics: Jessica Muse Collection on JessicaCosmetics.com
Jessica's bottle pics are very good and very color-accurate. I think they have the best, most true-to-life product photos around- they haven't mislead me yet! I think some of the other polish companies need to hire Jessica's photographer... Would make online polish buying much easier!
