Pippa


Zoya Pippa (2 Coats)
Sorry for the late post, our power went out for awhile. I realized today that I haven't posted a yellow polish yet. Most of you know how problematic yellow polish can be. I found Pippa to be better than most. The color is almost the same as a yellow Skittle (a friend actually gave me a Skittle the day I  had this polish on...it was so close to the same!). Also I have a few other yellows that don't look good with my skin tone. I think this one works though.

Last Day for Barielle


Barielle Glammed Out Garnet (2 Coats)
So today is the last polish from the Barielle Collection. I hope you liked the colors. Don't worry, I will be getting some of a brand new collection soon *cough, OPI, cough*. Glammed Out Garnet is a lovely shimmery red. It contains fine red glitter, but it's not too in your face with it. I know I keep saying every day about how nice each of the colors are, but I really love them. Application on this was very good unlike a few of the others.
For Labor Day, Barielle has a special where you get 10% off plus free shipping if you order at least $60, 15% on $75, and 20% off $100. As always, their polishes are buy 2 get 1 free with 2 free samples with each order. Also, all first time customers are sent a coupon code after you register that you can use for 10% off, I believe. And finally, if you have ordered from them before, some people were saying that if you keep items in your cart for longer than 24 hours they send you a coupon for 10% off. I have never done this, so I'm not sure if it is true.

Falling Star


Barielle Falling Star (2 coats)
I absolutely love this polish! It's definitely in my top 5 polishes of all time. Falling Star is a bluish (slightly purple) creme with copper glitter throughout. The glitter is such a contrast and really sets the polish apart from others. The only problem with it is the application. It was very thick and needs to be thinned out a bit. I really don't care because this polish is awesome!

Sweet Addiction


Barielle Sweet Addiction (2 coats)
So the polish today is NOT from the All Lacquered Up collection, but it is fun nevertheless. Sweet Addiction is somewhat of a creme pastel green, but there is a hint of deeper green that would stop me from saying it is a pastel. Hopefully this makes sense. Despite not necessarily a fall color, I will definitely be wearing this one before Spring pokes its head around the corner again because it is a nice green. Also, application on this one was great in 2 coats.

Lava Rock



 
Barielle Lava Rock (2 coats)

Lava Rock is a dark vampy red/purple shimmer. You know how some colors like this look black indoors, well this one does not have this problem. Like Essie's Rock Star Skinny, this is not a normal color I would wear, but I do love it! Application was a bit thick, but not too hard to work with. This is definitely a unique color that is very wearable for the fall.
