As you can see I decided not to add the descriptions today. I felt they were just misleading.

 They describe the shades as neon which they aren't, they are bright and gorgeous but just not neon.
Barielle has been releasing some really fantastic collections this year! Really gorgeous cremes.
The collections this year are already some of my favorite Barielle's!

This collection follows suit with a small exception, Magna Cum Laude Turquoise. 
Mine was streaky which you can kind of see in the picture. I do believe a third coat would have taken care of the streaks and it wasn't horrible to apply. Just not the standard I hold for Barielle based on their other polishes.

Although I could have gotten a off bottle, other reviews seem fine.

I recommend doubling on base coat with it also, I had no staining but just to be safe.

 And also while you're at it I would with Head of the Class Green as well. 

It didn't stain my nails but it was a pain to get off my skin, so apply carefully and double up to be safe!

All of the other shades in this collection had impeccable formulas and applied super easy!
I'm loving Straight A Coral so much, I don't understand I used to hate corals but this year I love them!

You can purchase Barielle Shades from their website.

They retail for $8.00 or  you can purchase this whole collection in a kit for $25.00.

I received my new nail art brushes and wanted to put them in use!
I tried my hand at a Tribal Manicure! I'm out of practice and despite the topcoat smearing I think it came out okay! 

And really I need to find a better topcoat, I waited THREE hours before top coating in hopes to prevent smearing :( 

Nope didn't help. Damn you SV. -_-

The base color is Illamasqua Load, and the black is Milani Black Swift. All the other colors are from this Barielle collection!

& Mattified!

And of course I added Butter London Matte Finish.

What are your thoughts on this collection? I love the colors they chose!
Also who watched True Blood? :)

Digital Nails Ultimate Ginger and Wibbly Wobbly - Swatches & Review!

Hey guys! Today's post is from the indie brand Digital Nails!
This was my first time trying this brand and I'm loving it!

*Products in this post were sent to me for the purpose of a 100% honest unbiased review.*

Ultimate Ginger - Two coats.

"Ultimate Ginger is a unique blend of marigold, orange, avocado white and holographic aqua glitters suspended in a robin's egg blue crelly base. It is designed to wear alone and is shown above at three thin coats. It looks amazing with a regular or matte topcoat."

Ultimate Ginger Mattified! Soooo beautiful!!

Wibbly Wobbly 

"Wibbly Wobbly is an insane blend of grass green holographic, teal, aqua, chartreuse, & hot pink glitters, in a multitude of shapes and sizes suspended in the sheerest of blue jelly base specially designed to hold up lots of glitter. This polish has matte, metallic, blue microflakies, HUGE dots, tiny holos - it's an explosion of sparkle."

I used one coat over Zoya Pinta on my Pointer & Pinky nails, and over China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise and Hanging in the Balance gradient on my Middle & Ring fingers.
I loved this manicure so freaking much, it was hard for me to remove it!!


Wibbly Wobbly Matteified! Sorry about the shrinkage.

Here's the mani before Wibbly Wobbly, Zoya Pinta on my Pointer & Pinky, and China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise and Hanging in the Balance gradient on my Middle & Ring fingers.

_______________________________________________________

I absolutely LOVE both of these polishes! Even if they were Doctor Who inspired they are both so pretty!
But the fact that they are pretty and inspired from one of if not my favorite tv show makes them even better!The formulas were both very easy to apply, WW was a little more difficult because of the larger glitters but I still found application easy.

You can purchase Digital Nails polishes from Etsy, both these polishes sell for $10.00 ea. 

Stay updated with Digital Nails on Facebook and Twitter.

Raphaelle kindly sent me Ultimate Ginger because Amy is my favorite companion, 
Who is your favorite Doctor Who Companion?

Jindie Nails Santa Claws Collection Part 1 Swatches & Review!

Hey guys! I have part of the Jindie Nails Santa Claws Collection to show you today!
I decided to split it into two because It's a lot of photos! But no worries-the other part will be up tomorrow!
(Part one is now up here!)

A little but early for Christmas for some, but not for me! My favorite time of the year is coming!

I took pictures with the Candy Cane bottle, because I hate holding the mini's XD
Plus her new labels are really pretty! But sorry if that causes any confusion!

(From L-R) Candy Cane, Blue Blue Xmas, Just Elfing Around, 

Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe, Noel, and Silent Night.

Candy Cane

"White creme/jelly base with cherry red matte and metallic hex and some metallic green hex with a green sparkle."

I love this polish! The application was so smooth and easy! I used three thin coats, they dried really fast too!
I only got one big red hex applying normally- so you may have to fish for them a bit.

Blue Blue Xmas

"Deep turquoise blue shimmery holographic polish."

This polish is magical. <3 It isn't a plain blue holo, it looks as if it illuminates.
 I used three thin coats. It's mesmerizing!

Oops! Jen told me she sent the older version of Blue Blue Xmas and meant to send the new one, the newer version is more holo! But she may make this version available for purchase later on! She is going to send that to me and I will post swatches for you when I get it!

I have two pairings of Just Elfing Around, this first one is over Blue Blue Xmas.
I used two coats, well more like one and a half- one coat plus some dabbing.

Just Elfing Around

"Pastel green, white, cherry red hex plus silver and lime green holo hex."

I used one coat, then I dabbed on some more in a few places. Over Zoya-Bevin.
Really nice combo, I loved this a lot!
The glitter disperses pretty darn evenly but I did dab on a bit to even it out.

The Santa Claws Collection will be available for purchase on Nov 1st on Jen's Etsy Shop.
Her awesome polishes are 3-Free and She ships Internationally!


Don't forget to follow Jen on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!
(She often posts sneak peeks of new polishes on IG!)
You can purchase Full Size for $7.75 and Mini's for $4.75.
(With the exception of Linear holo's there is a slight price increase on those.)

I hope you guys enjoyed these-I can;t wait to show you the rest!!

Hits-Hera Swatches & Review! A bit Picture heavy!

 Hey lovlies! Today's post is a review of Hits-Hera! & it is a BEAUTY!

Seriously in love with this one! I didn't have a holo even remotely like this color so it is a great addition to my collection! 

Hera is described as a bright Turquoise linear holo.
 I love the shade.. it is bright but not too bright for the fall season, more of a deeper teal/turquoise.
.

I used two coats for these pictures and it went on smoother than spreadable butter! lol
It just glid on so nicely, effortlessly. No patchiness or uneveness here!

I really love these "newer" (at least new to me) holos lately, the formula reminds me of Glitter Gal's maybe slightly thicker but definitely not hard to work with at all.
I feel like the newer holos just have so much better wear time then the Chg OMG's or Nfuoh's do.

I don't believe I used a topcoat for these photo's (I was worried that it might dull the holoiness)

 Most the photos were taken in the daylight, if not it is specified!

This one ^ was with my camera flash, not a great picture but I just thought it was so cool!
On my middle finger is is a holo oval! I mean i have had tons of linear holos but I don't remember ever seeing an entire circle lol (Yes, I am easily entertained!

Taken with lamp lighting.

 & Here is an example of what blogging is like with a toddler! :) She wanted to get her hand in the picture too!

hehe..

Seriously though guys..drooling on your keyboards is no good! Get control of that! ;)

I completely love this brand already, and I have a lot of them on my Christmas list! It was a little weird at first to get used to the different shaped bottle and wand, but not a issue after a nail or two I got it down pat :)

I love the availability of them next to the older Holo's and Leah Ann is an absolute pleasure to purchase from, wonderful customer service at Llarowe!

I definitely highly recommend this brand as a whole, I also have a flakie that is amazing aswell.

 (I will try to post it soon!)

They retail for $10.00 per 6ml at http://shop.llarowe.com/ 

The flakies are $8.00 per 6ml.

Very Impressed with these and see MANY in my future! They have a wonderful color range next to most holographic polishes I have seen! They have some very unique and gorgeous shades!!

<3 You guys!!

Turquoise Shatter & ChG He's Going In Circles!

Okay TONS of pics for you guys! Sorry they are all just way TOO pretty I had to use them all!!

This is China Glaze's He's going in Circles, I bought it online for $10 + $2.50 shipping worth it to me!

I wanted to try both since I just got them in the mail so I put Turquoise shatter on top! Which is pretty but I kindof wish i just left it but oh well, it's easier to see the shatter effect in person.

lol Sorry for soooo many pictures, I have the hardest time narrowing it down sometimes! Esp with Holo's, they all look good to me!
