The Jinsoon Tila March collection for spring/summer 2015 has arrived and I feel like it’s something we really need to talk about. Why? Uh, because it’s really swell?

Jinsoon Tila March Swatches:
Jinsoon Doux - Jinsoon x Tila March 2015
Above: Jinsoon Doux. I’m going to start here with what I thought was going to be my least favourite to apply. Turns out I was mistaken. I figured that because there’s so much white in this barely pink white, it’d be a challenge to get it on and make it all kinds of tidy. I was wrong. The formula and brush do all the work. I like it when that happens. Also, I love a powder-pink white – it reminds me of the ballet slippers I had as a kid. That memory makes me smile so I love a powder-pink white.
Jinsoon Charme - Jinsoon x Tila March 2015
Above: Jinsoon Charme. You’re looking at this and thinking I over-exposed the shot. I didn’t. It absolutely is that bright. She’s a creamy lemon-lime and I love her. I’m not going to lie though – I globbed it on in two coats to get it to self-level without pulling up the first coat (aka balding – yes, balding). The stuff was a wee bit thicker than I’d have liked but once it’s on there, if you can wait for it to dry without zuggin' it, you’re gonna have a smashing, almost-neon mani for summer.
Jinsoon Tila - Jinsoon x Tila March 2015
Above: Jinsoon Tila. Interesting choice for a spring/summer collection, right? But if you roll right up on it, you’ll see it’s actually sort of a jelly-like polish. I don’t know if the squishy-ness of this moody green shows in the photo but it’s there. That’s two very easy coats to an almost gel-like opaque finish. That shine comes from the polish – there ain’t even top coat on there, yo!
Jinsoon Enflammee - Jinsoon x Tila March 2015
Above: Jinsoon Enflammée. Juicy, juicy orange. It’s like that Laurentian pencil crayon #2. You know, the one called Orange? Yeah – that. She goes on like magic and comes out looking nice and squishy with no visible nail lines in two easy coats. Delicious.
Jinsoon Farouche - Jinsoon x Tila March 2015
Above: Jinsoon Farouche. I don’t have words. I am SO in love that my head is spinning. Hot raspberry magenta-ized fuchsia with a massive shot of blue to make it warm and keep it bright. Oh. Just, oh. S’like an arrow - shot straight through my heart. Love.Love.Love.
Jinsoon Farouche mattified - Jinsoon x Tila March 2015
Above: Jinsoon Farouche Mattified. Gah!! Too much amazeballz! I don't even care that I blooped it on my thumb. (Ha! made you look).

If it isn’t by now, Jinsoon polish should really be on your radar. It’s vibrant, highly pigmented, vegan-friendly, 5-free, and beautifully shiny. With the exception of Charme, the formulas were all quite excellent and everything else went on like a dream. If you’re smart enough to get your digits in a bottle (or 5) of the Jinsoon Tila March shades ($22 each at sephora.ca and $18 each at sephora.com), you’ll see what I’m on about. It.Is.Good.
