Barielle – Lava Rock
Tuesday, 27 July, 2010
Ok, I admit to being heavy handed in the application of this polish, but it was really my fault. I was being clumsy and messed up my nails a few times and rather than start from scratch I kept piling on the color. You can see the wrinkled result under my fast drying top coat.
Despite my bad application this polish color was absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait until I actually put it on properly – 2 thin coats and a top coat!
Not quite keeping up with my self induced promise of mostly green, I present PURPLE! I have more than 18 shades of purple polish between here and Arizona. The colors on this wheel are partially here, but mostly in our desert home.
It was a pain in the butt trying to take a pic of that color wheel and I realized I should’ve broken it up into 4 separate parts, but I was feeling kind of lazy and I hope that when you click on the pics, they become huge and you can see the difference in the colors.
You’ll find lots of shimmer, creme, a matte and a couple of holographics. Enjoy!

The Promised Green!
What I love about this gorgeous green with a slight yellow undertone is that it has a gorgeous micro glitter that contains more green than gold. One has to literally have it up close and very personal to see it. My camera didn’t do it any justice in capturing the glitter. The very faint yellow in this (heck, it could’ve been the gold micro glitter come to think of it!) wasn’t very strong and didn’t look awful on me. Quite the opposite – it was very flattering! Another stellar choice on my part from BB Couture. This color is from their Men’s Collection. Love it.

A lovely purple, wouldn’t you agree? Pardon the tip wear and the big old honkin’ scratch on the middle finger – I remembered to take a picture 4 days into the manicure.
Barielle – Blackened Bleu

A black jelly with a blue micro glitter – it’s super pretty! I am not a fan of the jelly base, though. It took 3 coats to get this color.
I’d have used the bottle in the pictures, but thanks to an explosive bottle of polish in transit, it covered the bottle in turquoise!
Loving the blue glitter in it. Something about this shade of blue on black…it’s gorgeous!

More swatches of Barielle swatches…absolutely gorgeous!
So I love this shade of blue…but I’m telling you, this copper glitter totally mars it. I think this color could’ve been much much prettier without that odd color of glitter thrown in, don’t you? IMO, this would’ve been the perfect shade of blue ever on the face of the earth…aside from that awful shade of copper. Then again, I guess there is a reason it’s called Falling Star.
Now this is an awesome shade of green…I love that it’s got a lovely shimmery sheen running through it. It keeps it on the cooler side of warm. I love it!
