Gotta Have Fate
A coral orange cream. It has a nice very slightly jelly cream formula. Starts out a bit sheer, but builds up after three coats. It dries ever so slightly darker than the bottle color. The color has just enough coral to make this really wearable for me. Swatches are with no top coat...

Life of the Party
A pink cream. The formula is very pigmented and has good coverage with two coats. It is a bit on the thick side, but no major problems with application. Just a nice pink cream. Swatches are with no top coat...

Lily of the Valley
A shimmery metallic green. It is brighter on the nail than in the bottle. The formula provides full coverage with just two coats, however, the it is a bit thin and I had some trouble wrapping it around the tips. The shimmer just didn't want to stick. Wrapping trouble aside, the color is beautiful so it was well worth it....

Sunshine
A bright yellow cream with just the slightest hint of a shimmer. I do love that touch of a shimmer in creams like this. Formula was great for a yellow, two coats for full opacity and no streaking. I know yellow is a hard color to wear, but I have been loving it this summer. Swatches are with no top coat...

Surf's Up
A bright blue cream. This is very very pigmented. You can almost get away with just one coat, but I used two to even out the coverage. I don't know if it is the brightness of the color or the shade of blue, but it really bleached out my already pale skin. Also this thing stained my nails big time even with a base coat. You can already see the "black eyes" on my index and middle finger where I got a bit color happy and had to clean the cuticles. My nails were completely blue after taking this off. Luckily, I remembered the whitening toothpaste trick from Another Bottle of Polish?! and it worked beautifully. I highly recommend it for fresh staining! I'm sad I didn't snap a before and after photo, but I hope you'll forgive me for not wanting to repeat the staining. On the plus side, I bet this will be perfect for stamping and since I don't have a good stamping blue yet, I'm excited to have this...

I love these colours. I wish I could find some of these nail brands in Jamaica.
ReplyDeleteFirst photos I have seen of these - thanks so much. I am liking Surf's Up - not sure it's not something I don't have something really close to already but am an admitted sucker for great blue creams. Lily of the Valley - I KNOW Barielle had this named polish in the past. I just cannot recall if it was this shade, thus don't know if this is a re-promote or not. Sorry to hear the formula on Lilly is not that perfect. The color is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteLilly of the Valley is my favourite of this collection, I would love to find those in Spain :(
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if these are available internationally. I know Barielle doesn't ship directly, but they might have retailers outside the US :(
@beachgal, Lily of the Valley might be a re-release or just an existing color put into a 5-piece kit. It is very beautiful! Surf's Up is a pretty color, just not right for my skin tone. :)
i love the blue and orange....I only have one Barielle (Gelt Me to the Party) that I got on clearance at Ulta...I need more!
ReplyDeleteLily of the Valley and Surfs up is awesome... Looking into adding some Barielle into my collection and your swatches are a great help.
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to choose with their color chart haha <3 Thanks babe
I am looking for a perfect emerald green (but now I think I'd settle for any emerald green, really), I'd love it if we could get them here because that green looks like it could fit the bill.
ReplyDelete@Janna, I also started with Barielle when it was on clearance at Ulta, now I can't get enough of their pretty colors :)
ReplyDelete@Samantha, you are so welcome! I'm glad I could help :D
@Ana, there are lots of pretty emerald greens out there. This one is beautiful! :)
