silver - Lucy's Stash

I am sooo excited about Barielle Summer collection. I love the shades and when I've tried them, I loved also the formula! Whole collection consists of six shades and I'm going to show you four of them. Those four are my first Barielle polishes and because I really like them, I've ordered some more :)

I was very pleasantly surprised how quickly they dried out in comparison with my other polishes. Brushes are wide enough for nice and comfortable application and the shades are just gorgeous! What's more, Barielle polishes are Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Toluene or Formaldehyde FREE. One bottle is 14 ml and costs £8 - but now Barielle has Spring and Summer collection promotion Buy one get one free!

The first colour is Passion Pirouette, my favourite. It is beatiful deep reddish purple and I would describe the finish as pearl. Colour was very well pigmented and two coats did a great job. The only thing bothering me was that it left brush strokes so I had to apply polish carefully and evenly.

My second favourite polish from the summer collection is Belly Dance. It is light taupe with shimmer and I can see there a hint of purple or grey. I love the shade! It is elegant, trendy and matches my skintone like no other tape colour. It applied smoothly, no brush strokes and removing was without problems as well :)

Night Moves is from the foil silver family. It is amazing foil silver polish with great colour payout. It looks like it has tiny little silver glitters. It applied great as well as the rest of Barielle polishes and removing was suprisingly quick. I did a bit of stamping on it :)

The last shade I have is Electric Boogie. Beautiful dark blue colour with teal glitter. I usually don't wear blues but this one is just amazing! Totally great colour for summer :) I didn't find any difficulties with application but the glitters made removing a little bit more difficult. But still it wasn't bad like normal glitter polishes :) As you can see in the picture, glitters make the surface of the nail is uneven. I didn't use topcoat so you can see it but with topcoat it was totally ok :)

Overally I am very pleased with Barielle polishes and I am looking forward to try more shades and some treatments. Moreover I would like to highlight excellent customer service at UK website. I had some difficulties and I received very nice call ensuring everything will be solved and also great email communication. So great job Barielle with all your products and services!

I got my hands on a Ciaté Talent Scout from the new Festival Fever collection. It is cool darks purple cream. This is actually the first polish from Ciaté I have ever tried and it just has the cutest bottle ever! Black bow, round black and white sticker and long black handle.

Formula of the polish was really nice. Good coverage without streaks, not too watery, not too thick. Maybe you could go with just one coat however I've used two as I do it always :) Drying time was a bit longer but nothing that Seche Vite would not solve. I liked to work with the brush - as you can see in the pics, I managed to paint nails nicely with it.

The bottle costs £9 and it is 13.5 ml. It is not one of the cheapest nail polish brands but I guess it's because of the nice bow and bottle design and Formaldehyde and Toluene free formula. I've got one more shade to show you and I definately want to try more shades in the future and maybe hand or foot care too.

Dostal se mi do rukou lak znacky Ciaté v odstinu talent Scout z letosni Festival Fever kolekce. Je to tmave fialova kremovka. Tohle je uplne prvni lak, ktery jsem kdy od teto znacky vyzkousela a ma proste tu nejroztomilejsi lahvicku! Cerna maslicka, ovalna cerno-bila nalepka a dlouha cerna rukojet-krasne elegantni.

S lakem se mi moc dobre pracovalo. Dobre kryje bez pruhovani a neni ani moc vodovy ani moc husty. Mozna by nekomu stacila jen jedna vrstva,ale ja uz ze zvyku dala dve. Se schnutim to bylo trosku horsi, ale zase nic, co by nevyresil Seche Vite. Se stetcem se byla taky jedna basen pracovat - jak je videt na fotkach,tak se mi s nim podarilo krasne a ciste namalovat nehtiky.

Jedna lahvicka stoji £9 a je 13.5 ml. Neni to zrovna ten nejlevnejsi lak, ale hadam,ze cena proste zahrnuje i maslicku, pekny design a fakt, ze lak je bez Formaldehydu a Toluenu. Jeste mam jeden odstin, ktery vam ukazu pozdeji, ale urcite jich chci v budoucnu zkusit vic a taky mozna jejich peci o ruce a nohy.
