Barielle Sweet Treats Collection (Press Sample)

Today I have  pretty sweet Spring collection. I’m a little late posting this one since most of us are looking toward summer collections or even fall in some cases. However, it’s still gorgeous and worth another look. I really like this collection as a whole, it’s chock full of bright and gorgeous spring creme shades.

DSC04359 DSC04361First is Green Apple Chew which is a bright chartreuse creme shade. Normally I shy away from shades like this since they are so bright and fall into that ugly/pretty category but this one is gorgeous. It’s actually unique in my collection but OPI Don’t Bach to Me is a similar shade but lighter.

DSC04363 DSC04364This is Banana Drop, a light yellow creme. Though I love yellows like these, I usually have issues with application. Banana Drop applied well but it’s the only one that needed three coats.

DSC04366 DSC04367Lilac Jelly Bean is dusty lavender shade. I can’t get enough of shades like this, I think I have 10-15 of them in my collection and love each one. Definitely a must have shade.

DSC04370 DSC04372Orange Parfait is the spring sister of Barielle Rusted Vintage Boots that came out this past fall. It’s a pretty cantaloupe shade that’s perfect for spring.

DSC04374 DSC04375Last but not least, we have Blue Cotton Candy. A lovely teal shade, this is the only one in the collection with this gorgeous silver shimmer.

Green Apple Chew and Blue Cotton Candy are the stand outs of this collection and my favorites though you really can’t go wrong with any of them. With the exception of Banana Drop, each of these needed two coats for full opacity.

Barielle Carnival Fiesta Collection

Today I have the new Carnival Fiesta set from Barielle. There are five polishes in this set and they’re all bright and fun metallic shades. Now on to the pretty polishes.

DSC04229First up is my favorite of this collection, Holiday Madness. It’s a metallic olive green polish with a gold shimmer. Holiday Madness applies like butter and is completely opaque in two coats.

DSC04233Next is Rio’s Rockin’ Band which is a metallic purple shade. It covers well in two coats though it’s a bit brush stroke-y. A really pretty shade.

 

 

DSC04236This beautiful red shade is Lindsay’s Dancin’ and is one of those great red shades that belong in every winter collection. This one applies beautifully and is opaque in two coats.

DSC04239Though I’m not a huge fan of wearing blue polishes, I can’t deny how lovely Jillian’s Jammin’ is. This is the only one that I used three coats for and even now you can see visible nail line -especially on my ring finger.

Last but certainly not least, Wanna Samba? is the standout of this collection. Barielle describes Wanna Samba? as a metallic purple gray shade. Does it get any better than purple and gray? Wanna Samba? covers well in two coats though the first coat looks remarkably sheer.

This set has a great mix of colors. Though I wish there were a variety of finishes, there is a color for pretty much everyone, I know there are several I can see myself wearing again and again.

Barielle Dazzling Diamonds Collection

Recently I received the new Barielle Dazzling Diamonds collection to review. There are five sparkly beauties in this collection. There are two that could possible be worn alone but the other three are definitely for layering.I applied two coats of each shade over two coats of Wet N Wild French White. On to the pretties.

Cherry Blossom Sparkler is one of the shades that may be worn alone. It has small red glitter in a red jelly base.

Purple Hearts is my favorite of the bunch. Its a clear base with purple, fuchsia and holographic glitter.

Pink Diamonds is a denser pink microglitter polish, its the other shade in this collection that can be worn alone. It almost reminds me of China Glaze Material Girl but the glitter is much much finer.

Stardust is super fine blue, green and yellow glitter in a clear base. On top of the white polish, it looks like shimmery snow but its really difficult to photograph accurately.
Lastly is Ebony Rainbow, a multi colored fine glitter mixture in a clear base.

Barielle Summer Fun Collection

Today I have the new Summer Fun Collection from Barielle. This collection is a set of five summery creme polishes that are just perfect for summer. In typical Barielle fashion, all five are super easy to apply and wear well. I’m wearing two coats of polish in each photo.

First is Mint Ice Cream Cone which looks exactly like its namesake. A clean light mint creme polish and I wish I had brown glitter to make chocolate chips with. I really like this shade even though it makes my skin look more red.

Pink Flip Flops is a baby pink shade with blue undertones. This is super easy to apply and wears well.

Peach Popsicle is the lighter coral of the group, its a little darker than what I would consider peachy. It also looks better on me than a normal peach.

Ocean Breeze is a bright aqua shade. This is my favorite shade of the bunch.

Berry Go “Round is the bright coral in the collection. I am so loving corals in the summertime.

To me, this collection is the epitome of summer polishes. It may seem like a standard summer collection but that’s because it works. You have the bright corals, the pastels and the aquas that are so in season right now. Ocean Breeze is my favorite of this collection followed closely by Berry Go ‘Round.
