Barielle Wrap Me in Ribbon

Friday, December 10, 2010

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I'm still cranking my way through Barielle's Holiday Hustle Collection, today with Wrap Me in Ribbon.  In the promo pictures, Wrap Me in Ribbon looks like a pink frost, and in the bottle I thought it was kind of a dark rose frost, but it's completely different when dry.  Barielle says this is "a metallic raspberry with violet and copper pearl undertones," and I'd say that's an accurate description of the finished manicure with Wrap Me in Ribbon.  It's much more metallic than frost.

Like the others, this polish was a little on the thick side, but sufficiently pigmented so two very thin coats are all that I needed.  Here's Wrap Me in Ribbon in the sun.

In the picture, there are slight brush strokes, but that's just because the picture's giant.  Just walking around normally, that doesn't show at all.  I was skeptical about this one, really, but now that I'm wearing it I quite like it.  The color is somewhat "safe," but the metallic finish makes it a really interesting combination.

That's just about all I have for you today, Dear Reader.  Until tomorrow, love and nail polish to you!  


*This polish was sent to me for review by the manufacturer.

SpaRitual Living in the Moment

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I'm cranking through the SpaRitual Imagine Collection, and today I have Living in the Moment for you.  It's a creme, kind of a cross between greige and mauve.  It's definitely a work-safe color, but still interesting, sort of like an updated mauve.

It applied really well, the polish was easy to control, and took two coats.  This one is just a swatch, no topcoat, and so I can't comment on the dry time on this one.  I was thinking there were more than six in the collection, but it's just the six I bought, so I thought I'd swatch this one so I could show you all of the Imagine Collection with the last one tomorrow.  Anyhow, here it is...

Fairy-like Mauve

Friday, May 14, 2010

I had to try one of the Peggy Sage colors that Lilynail sent me.I chose Feerique Mauve which in English (according to Google translate) means Fairy-like Mauve.The name makes me love it all the more.A beautiful subtle semi duo chrome. I love the mauve center where the light hits it and then the deep purple out to the edges! So beautiful!
I love the bottles and the brush. The polish just magically

That is what this color reminds me of.China Glaze Sunset glow is a soft, safe pink with a lilac undertone and a golden shimmer that glows from within. This is not my usual type of color but I have a lot of friends that have to wear work safe colors and I think this is a great alternative to the standard nudes and neutrals.
