Barielle Elle's Spell layered over Barielle Tight Knit

 I just couldn't help myself. I looked at some pics from a couple of months ago and found some swatches I could post. Happy me!

So this is 2 coats Tight knit, a burnt sienna-ish color (I got bored of quick!) topped with 2 coats of Elle's Spell. One coat SV.

 I luv this look and I luv Elle's Spell. This is the only red flakie I have.  I Highly suggest this polish!

LUV WHO YOU LUV AND BE THANKFUL YOU HAVE THEM.  :) <3

Barielle Nail Polish, Myrza's Meadow

Hello and Happy Friday! Hope you all had a good evening! Today I have the pleasure of joining my son for a 5th grade luncheon, one of many celebrations the graduating 5th grade class is having. So I don't have much time for blogging, but I wanted to get this post up before I headed out. This will be the last of my Barielle collection, at least until I get the last half dozen swatched. It's still raining here so it might be awhile lol!

Here we have Barielle's Myrza's Meadow, this is a pistachio green, a little on the dusty lime side. This has a silver glitter that reflects the rainbow. Kind of like a holographic glitter without the holo effect, if that makes sense. I was so excited to try this one out! I loved the concept and uniqueness of this color, but I have to say it turned out a little dull on me. Not sure if this is due to my skin color or the lighting. But the glitter was mostly silver and grainy looking to me. The rainbow effect of the glitter just didn't transfer well to the nails. This was 2 coats, 1 coat SV, and seems a little more difficult to apply evenly then the others. I will give this one another try with 3 coats and more patients and see if I like it better then.

That's it for today, hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Next up I hope to get my pics edited and show you the Ulta matte-Rial girl collection of mini's I picked up a few months back. I luv this collection!

Barielle Nail Polish, Glammed Out Garnet

Hello and Good Evening! Today I have another Barielle polish for you. This is Glammed out Garnet, a rich berry red shimmer/glitter polish. This polish has a berry red jelly base, that leans to a dark magenta, loaded with micro glitter. The super bright sunlight makes this polish appear much lighter than bottle color, but this is much darker in low lights. I just loved this color, very glamorous indeed. This was 2-3 coats, 1 coat SV. I don't think I have any dup's for this one in my stash, maybe some old LE Maybelline polishes but I don't think so.(Sorry for the messy application and fuzzy pics I think I was running out of steam by the time I got to this one.)

Barielle Nail Polish, June Bug

Hello! I hope your enjoying the look of my blog today. I've been playing with the blogger in draft thing. And it's sooooo much fun! I probably be changing it a lot, just like my polish. Here we have June Bug, I believe this is a spring 2010 polish. June bug is a dusty light blue with large magenta/pink glitter. This also has a micro shimmer you can see this in bright sunlight or in my last two pics :) This was 2-3 coats, 1 coat SV.

I went looking for the bottle of this and it was missing! argh! Now I will have to go hunt this down. I just finished reorganizing my stash so if this got misplaced it could be anywhere. I'm also way over due for a 3rd Helmer, but, that will have to wait until I have the cash. This month is crazy busy with school functions and I'm hosting a huge yard sale at my house soon. Well, as soon as this horrible rain goes away! Normally it's pretty much blue sky's and sunshine this time of year but we've had rain for over a week and another storm on the way?! Anyhoo, I'm gettin' a lot of wear out of my fall colors this year!

Here you can see the polish in direct sunlight, The shimmer is very pretty! ....

Oh, A quick question before I go. Does anyone know if ALL black label OPI's are bad? Does that mean all green labels are big 3 free? Or is there gray matter here? Please remeber to comment and follow =)

Thanks and have a great day!

Barielle Nail Polish, Slate of Affairs

Hello Everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. Today I have another Barielle polish. Slate Of Affairs is a slate or gray blue with a beautiful bright blue, iridescent shimmer. The shimmer in this is hard to see in shade or low lights, looks like a creme in blue-ish grey. I fell in love with this polish! It's very pretty and edgy to me. Looks great indoors and out. Application was extremely smooth and easy. This was 2 coats with 1 coat of SV.

Barielle Nail Polish, Lava Rock

Hello Dear Readers! Today I turn 30!!!!! I have no big plans, but I'm really enjoying and embracing this new stage in my life. I hope this decade is filled with all the joy and happiness the last one was. I am always amazed at how quickly the years pass. I'm gonna try and appreciate my Life, Friends and Family more. I think I'm starting to understand how precious time really is. Not that I feel like it's getting short or running out. That's not it at all, I just know I have so much more to do. So when I'm lounging around doing nothing, or not interacting with my children (while I still can). I kinda feel like I'm wasting my life away. Day by day, here and there, time lost and wasted. I guess that has alot to do with my absence lately. I think I need to allow myself one day of blogging a week. That way I can still post regularly and do some reading myself. I will try and get it figured out soon. :)



Here's some polish for you. I luv this color! It's so much cooler on the nail then in the bottle. This was 2-3 coats, one coat SV. I can't wait for summer, this is amazing in the sun! The dark gold shimmer in this one was what made it special for me. Really gives this polish amazing depth. When the sun hits this it really does give the nail a "burning from with in" kinda look. Very very pretty!

Indoor pic's natural light. Here you see it indoors. A very vampy blackened Bordeaux, with a inner glow.

Indoor, artificial light. More of a blackened red shimmer. Very vampy too.

Have a great Day!

Barielle Secret Encounter layered with Sinful's Deep Red Ocean #164 Picture heavy!

Here we have one of the Sinful flakie polishes. I have 4 of these I think. I have to say right of the bat that these aren't the pest polishes. But If you give it a little extra attention they come out GREAT! this is one coat of Sinful and one coat of SV on top of 2 coats of SE. (applied the next day). With these polishes it's important to get a good amount on your brush and paint them until the flakies lay smooth and uniform. If you want to add a second coat I suggest waiting until the first is completely dry. Then add a coat ...or two of top coat. I suggest SV as it's Sooooo good at self leveling and can fill in the valleys left by thick flakies! Any hoo I love this look and had a lot of fun wearing it! That's it from me today hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!!!!!!
