Barielle Summer Brights Collection Swatches & Review...

Today I have the fun Barielle Summer Brights collection to show you. Living in Seattle, it is sometimes hard to believe that Spring or much less Summer will ever come, but a colorful collection such as this makes me forget all of that. The Summer Brights collection contains five bright creams perfect for the warm days to come...


The formula on these creams is very similar and consistent with what I've come to know from other Barielle shades. They are a little on the thicker side, but very manageable. I prefer to use them as is without thinning, but they can easily be thinned to desired consistency with a few drops of thinner. These laquers are very pigmented and provide great coverage in 1-2 coats. Although I have not tried these shades out for stamping, I suspect they would work beautifully....

Lemondrops
A bright primary yellow cream. Nice streak-free coverage in two coats. Dries to a beautiful glossy finish. No top coat in the swatches...

Blue Capri
A slightly dusty periwinkle blue cream. This is another that could be a one coater, but I used two. It is very pigmented and provides great coverage. I used it for the Violet Beauregard inspired manicure and realized that it changes color with a top coat. First two swatches are with no top coat...



I added a swipe of top coat near the tips. The color changes to a slightly deeper and brighter blue...

  4. Do the rest of these (other than the blue) also change color with top coat?

  5. Blue Capri was the only one that seemed to change with the top coat. It is not advertised as color changing, just a fun surprise :)
