*PICTURE HEAVY POST*
I am very excited to share swatches with you today from
Barielle. Today I have Starchild, A Bouquet For Ava,
Elle's Spell, and Growth Activator for Natural Nails for review today.
First up is A Bouquet For Ava, which is a beautiful
middle tone blue crème polish with just a hint of green in it.
One Coat:
The first coat of polish went on very smooth and evenly.
Two Coats:
The second coat of polish really brings out the color.
This is definitely a two coater. The color is beautiful and rich.
My only warning is that you should put down two coats of base coat before
using this polish. It stained my nails a little bit, but that is nothing
that can't be prevented with a good layer of base coat.
Next up is Starchild, a small and medium hexagonal
blend of silver holographic glitters in a clear base. It is so sparkly
and awesome!
One Coat:
I found Starchild extremely easy to work with
for a glitter polish. The glitter came out very easily on the brush and
evenly distributed when brushed on the nail. With many glitter polishes I
feel like I am fishing to get the glitter out, but that was not the case with
this one, which is amazing!
Two Coats:
Three Coats:
After three coats you basically have full coverage if you
wanted to wear this polish on its own. I think it looks so sparkly and
pretty. I just love how it catches the light, but I don't think I would
wear it on its own. I think it would be a great topcoat over a polish, as
shown below.
One Coat over A Bouquet for Ava:
It is so beautiful on top of the blue polish. It
really adds a nice flair to any crème based polish that you would layer
underneath it.
Elle's Spell is a dark red almost raspberry
based jelly polish with small iridescent flakies in it. It is truly
stunning on the nails, but it was very hard to photograph the amazingness of
this nail polish.
One Coat:
The first coat applied very smooth and evenly. It is
hard to see the flakies in these pictures, but they also distributed evenly and
smooth on the nail.
Two Coats:
In this picture you can see the flakies better. They
add a beautiful golden shimmer to the red jelly base. Full coverage could definitely
be achieved after two coats, but I tried out three just to make sure.
Three Coats:
The third coat made the red base a little brighter, but that
is about it. I really love how the flakies in this polish stayed smooth
through out the coats. I think that it is such a beautiful and unique
color.
And last but not least I received a nail treatment called Growth
Activator for Natural Nails.
I was very excited to try this out because I have been
wanting to grow my nails a little longer, but they always get to a certain
point and start to break and peal. The instructions on the box say to paint
it on your nail up to two times a week and that it can be used as a base coat.
So far I have had it on my nails for about a week, and I can already feel
the difference. My nails are growing faster and much stronger. Also they
are no longer bending and pealing. The nice thing about this nail
treatment is that it is very shiny and can be warn on its own, like it is shown
above.
