Blue Hawaiian
A blue jelly with white, light pink, watermelon, and blue squares and hex. It also has a blue micro shimmer and pink bar glitters.

I layered two thin coats over Barielle Blue Capri.
Application was really easy and the glitter dispersed well.  It has a gorgeous micro shimmer throughout that I love. The glitter combo goes together so well.

Indian Summer
A clear based gold shimmer filled polish with orange, bronze, gold, yellow, light yellow, red and brown glitters in various shapes and sizes.

I layered one coat over Barielle Lemon Drops. Application was easy, went on pretty evenly with no effort.
I keep thinking I should have layered this over a burgundy :( Not loving it over the yellow.

Barielle Summer Brights Collection - Swatches & Review!

Hey guys! I'm sure most of you have already seen the new Summer Brights collection from Barielle, but here it is anyway!

*Products in this post were sent to me for the purpose of a 100% honest unbiased review.*
Barielle Summer Brights (1)
Blue Capri, Cosmic Kiss, Pink Flip-Flops, Lemon Drops, & Sweet Addiction.
Barielle Blue Capri
Blue Capri "royal creamy blue"

Two easy coats. So close to being a one coater! Formula wise this is the thickest, but still very easy to apply.
Barielle Cosmic Kiss
Cosmic Kiss "creamy deep pink"

Two coats, application was a breeze, probably the best formula of the bunch.
Barielle Pink Flip-Flops
Pink Flip-Flops "creamy baby pink"

Three thin coats. Application was easy but a little streaky, evened out nicely with the third coat though.
Barielle Lemon Drops
Lemon Drops "sun yellow creme"

Three thin coats, application was similar to Pink Flip Flops.
Barielle Sweet Addiction
Sweet Addiction "creme green"

Two easy coats. The formula was in between it was thicker than the others but thinner than the blue.

_______________________________________________________

I really love this collecton and the Sweet Treats spring collection, I'm impressed by Barielle this year!
They're just cremes but since I've been wearing so much glitter it's a nice change of pace. I'm enjoying these clean bright colors! I recommend signing up for Barielle's newsletters, they have pretty frequent deals & discounts!


You can purchase Barielle nail polish from http://www.barielle.com/ for $8.00.

For a little extra fun, here is a quick freehand leopard print mani I did with Pink Flip-Flops, Lemon Drops, & Cosmic Kiss!

Rainbow Polish Stinging Jellyfish, Tahitian Waters & Wild Orchid - Swatches & Review!

Hey guys! Late post today, and sorry there wasn't a post yesterday! I have been absolutely exhausted lately and haven't gotten as much done! I hope you are all having a enjoyable weekend!
Today's post is my first experience with the long lemmed indie brand Rainbow Polish!

Rainbow Polish Stinging Jellyfish (4)
Stinging Jellyfish
"Floating through the sea then OUCH! 
This polish reflects the soft colors of the jellyfish and tiny bar and slice glitters just like tentacles. Pinks, blues lavenders and more."

I used one coat of Stinging Jellyfish over A England Camelot on my pointer and pinky nails,
and on my middle and ring finger nails I sponged it onto the tips.
This is my favorite! SO sparkly and beautiful! I love the mixture of holo glitters and iridescent glitters!
It's also dense enough that it should be opaque in three coats!
Rainbow Polish Tahitian Waters (2)
Tahitian Waters
"My "one day" vacation place is Tahiti. The waters are so beautiful in all the photos I have seen. 
The light blue waters and pink sunsets inspired this polish.
Light blue/aqua base with a sprinkling of pink and silver glitters"

Tahititan Waters seemed a little too sheer to build up, through I didn't try.
I decided to layer it instead and paired it with China Glaze Aquadelic!
I used one coat plus dabbing some on a few sparse spots. The glitters get a bit stuck into the brush and don't want to come off but it's still pretty easy to apply. The glitter doesn't disperse super evenly on it's own though.
Rainbow Polish Wild Orchid (2)
Wild Orchid 
"Pretty pink polish that reminds me of bright tropical orchids. This polish has a fuchsia pink jelly base with micro shimmering glitter, dark pink glitters and lavender glitter. Really pretty alone with two coats"

For Wild Orchid I used three thin coats! This polish is so pretty!
I just love jellies with glitters and how they peek through the layers, I mean look at the dimension!
Application was a breeze! 

_______________________________________________________

I'm really glad to finally try this brand! I have seriously been lemming for some of Tonya's polishes for about 8 months!
I
knew I would love Rainbow Polish polishes and I was completely right!


Rainbow Polishes are available for purchase from Bigcartel and Etsy,
They retail for $8.50 each, or you can purchase the entire 8 pc Escape collection for $49.00.

These all had terrific formulas, which is no surprise because I've yet to try a PP that didn't have a impeccable formula! They are a bit pricier but have amazing quality and consistency.
O'hara is seriously one of my favorite red polishes ever!! Definitely in my top 3!
Which is why there are so many pictures of it in this post :D

The micro shimmer is to die for!

Okay so when I'm not doing official reviews apparently I suck at keeping track of how many coats I use, I believe it may have been two..but definitely not more than three thin coats!
