Hello!!
I'm back today with the second of
Barielle's two Spring collections: The Vibrants collection. This is a lovely set of spring cremes (and one jelly) with a brighter edge to them, perfect for transitioning you into summer's brilliance.
Let's take this in alphabetical order, and start with Designer's Shoes, a periwinkle-blue creme that looks a bit more blue in direct sunlight, and a bit more purple in inside light:

This is two coats, and the formula on this was wonderful. I didn't have issues with streaking or pulling, everything settled beautifully. Not to thick, not too thin, just right. :)
Next we have Fire Me Up, a bold tangerine jelly:

This is my favorite in the collection; I love how saturated and squishy this orange is! This is two coats, and again the formula was perfect.
Following next in the line-up is First Class Ticket, a clear sky-blue creme:

Doesn't this just make you want to walk through a meadow or fly a kite? I love the crispness of it. The formula was perfect, and again I have two coats here.
Here we have Money Talks, a soft, pale, minty green creme with a blue lean:

I think this is a version of mint is different enough from the typical to make it interesting for spring. I did have a tiny bit of chalkiness with this, but it evened out well by the second coat (there are two here).
Our penultimate polish is City Apartment, a dove gray creme with a purple lean:

Guess what? Two coats, excellent formula. :) I think this is another great slight twist on a classic to make it just a bit more interesting than your standard grey. It has a very sophisticated look, I think.
And finally, we have Take Me Shopping, a pinky-leaning coral creme with a bang:

I love the depth to this; it almost seems to glow from within. And, when you put it in sunlight, it gets even more glowy. I am partial to corals, it's true, but this is so pretty and will compliment so many skin tones. :) Two coats again, with a wonderful formula and application.
To sum up: I think this is a beautiful, fun spring collection with just enough of a twist or an amp-up to each of the colors that makes it not just a run-of-the-mill spring collection. And I absolutely love it when a collection of cremes has near effortless application.
You can find these polishes anywhere Barielle is sold, and of course you can buy them directly from the
Barielle site.
Hope you are having a wonderful start to your weekend!!

Deletebeautiful swatches! I love designer shoes and money talks especially. I've never tried Barielle before but maybe I will now since I've heard numerous people raving about the formula on these :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should. They're a great brand, one of my favorites. :)
DeleteThey are so pretty. My favorite must be the grey one, you are right, there is something about it that makes it look a little bit more sophisticated than your average grey.
ReplyDeleteI love little twists like that...:)
