barielle high steppin' part 3

this is the last polish i have to show you from Barielle's High Steppin' collection 2010, electric boogie. it's my absolute favorite from the collection and definitely the star of the show. it's a metallic blue with teal glitter. i la la love when companies do polishes with contrast glitters! the formula on this one was a tad gloopey but i made it work. this is two coats.

i also wanted to wear it more than a day, and i had just found sally hansen's hidden treasure, a flakey iridescent polish, at walmart so i decided to see what electric boogie would look like w/ it layered on top. the results were fantastic! you can see so many colors come out of the flakes! you neeeeeed this polish. i've been putting hidden treasure over absolutely everything!

the next polish i have to show you in the high steppin' collection i got to share with AllYouDesire :) is called passion pirouette. it is a frosty purple metallic lacquer. the only reason i didn't love this completely was that it left heavy brush strokes. although, it is beautiful on AYD! maybe it is user error ;) this is two coats.

night moves is a metallic silver foil that has that uber sparkle factor. i was surprised at how easy it was to take off too, as it looks like it might have that dreaded glitter texture, but it glides on and off like a regular shimmer. love this!

slow motion is probably my least favorite from the collection. and i got really crappy pictures haha, so i apologize but i guess subconsciously my camera skills reflect my disdain for the polish. Barielle describes this as a light metallic lavender. i describe it as frosty ugly pinky lavender yuck. sorry, but i just did not like this at all. plus, brushstrokes = blech. this is two coats.

barielle high steppin' part 1

hello everyone! i hope that you all are having a wonderful tuesday :D i'm not exactly happy to be back to work after having a long weekend but what can you do. today i have a few swatches to show you all from Barielle's High Steppin' collection 2010. my lovely friend from AllYouDesire needed someone to relay the collection to her in the Czech Republic as Barielle couldn't send them to her directly so I was happy to oblige. She was generous enough to let me play with the collection before I sent them on to her so here are some pics of my fun with the goodies!

free style is a metallic minty-limey green with silver glitter. i used two coats. this color isn't my favorite, but it was surprisingly prettier than i had anticipated. and i honestly can say i've never seen anything quite like this!
