Classy Lady is a nice, sweet pink shade that is perfect for that natural looking manicure. This applied in 2 coats and topped of with Barielle's quick dry top coat. I'm happy to have another soft shade in my collection. I don't mind it one bit.

Tres Chic is a very beautiful dark navy color. I only have a few shades like this and I actually might be using this as part of my Wednesday Jam next week. Stay tuned because it's going to (hopefully) be awesome! This applied smoothly in 2 coats and i had no issues with it.

Barielle Hot Chic - Review and Swatches

Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Woop woop! Time for more Fall shades - this time from Barielle! Meet the Hot Chic collection! This collection has 5 beautiful colors for Fall. Check them out below!

Sheer Nonsense is a pretty neutral shade - a creamy pale sand color. It applied flawlessly, not too thick or messy. Shown is 2 coats and top coat.

Orange U Lealous is a fiery orange shade. It seems like is a pretty hot shade this season. I do love the gold shimmer in this. Mostly because I can actually see it on the nail.

Born-2-B Naughty is a creamy green with a hint of blue. I'm pretty sure this went on in 1 coat. It's so amazingly gorgeous - I just want to wear it all season long!

Secret Desire - where are all my purple lovers? Another stunner in the purple shade category! I love the micro flecks in this polish. It's bright but still dark enough for an elegant manicure. Shown is 2 coats and top coat.

Harley D - is this not the most appropriate fall shade yet? It's like Fall spice in the form of nail polish! This could be a 1-coater in my opinion but I used 2 thin coats and top coat for the swatch.

Barielle Bling It On Glitter Collection

Tuesday, March 31, 2015

Barielle has 2 new glitter collections coming out in April and I have one of them to show you today - the Bling It On Glitter Collection! This is a 5-piece glitter collection and I'm sure you'll find one you love.

Sea Urchin is a sea foam green glitter polish and speckled with yellow-gold glitters. I applied 2 coats to get this look and opted not to apply a top coat.

Shooting Star is definitely my favorite shade of this collection. I used 2 coats to get the look below. The combination of the tiny purple glitters and the bigger blue glitters just makes this polish so dreamy. I absolutely would wear this polish a lot.

Golden Halo - well, that pretty much explains it all! This is a gold shimmer based polish with pink glitters scattered throughout. I used 2 coats for the swatch below and did not apply top coat.

Angel Dust is a sheer iridescent glitter than can pretty much be applied on any color. I chose to apply it over Heaven Sent from the Gentle Breeze Collection. This is just one coat of Angel Dust.

Lastly we have Amethyst, a polish full of hexagonal purple glitters. I applied it over Under the Sea from the Gentle Breeze collection. This is probably my least favorite of the collection. It was hard to get an even layer of glitter and it just seems unnecessarily chunky. Maybe I can find a use for it in some nail art.

Barielle Gentle Breeze

Monday, March 30, 2015

Hello friends! Ready for another Spring collection? Today I've got the Barielle Gentle Breeze collection. It's not all pastels which might be a relief to some of you. This 5-piece collection has a nice variety of creams and shimmers. I'm sure you'll find a favorite.

This pretty pink cream is called Pink Parasol. It's similar to lots of Spring collection pinks out there but it's different enough that I don't mind adding it to my collection. As usual, it applied just fine in 2 coats and is topped off with Barielle Speed Dry top coat.

Heaven Sent is just dreamy. It's a creamy aquamarine shade and is simply stunning. I always love adding shades like this to my collection - mostly because I am obsessed! This is 2 coats for full opacity and topped with Barielle Speed Dry top coat.

Gray Sky is unlike any other gray shades I have at the moment. It's described as a creamy glacier gray. It definitely has that icy touch of shimmer.This color reminds me of a rainy day, but a sunny rainy day. Does that make sense? This is 2 coats and top coat.

Under the Sea is a scuba blue shimmer and is quite nice and refreshing. It has just a hint of shimmer and is a great color to wear to the beach! Where would you wear this shade to? This is 2 coats and top coat.

The last shade in this collection is Champagne Bubbles - a creamy tangerine. I thought maybe this one would have been shimmer because of the "bubbles" in the name but nope, it's just a cream. It's got a great formula and is pretty neutral despite its description of being "tangerine." This is 2 coats and top coat.

So, is this a nice change from an all-pastel collection? Which one is your favorite? Will you be getting these at some point if you haven't already?
