My Monday is going a lot better than my Saturday and Sunday, I had my 2nd wisdom tooth pulled! So I spent my weekend, a sleep or laying on the couch watching TV... Fun fun! :)
My mouth is all better today, and to celebrate I have 4 more new colors from Barielle's 90 new colors they added to their core line.
Barielle
"Sky's The Limit"
2 coats, no top coat
This is a gorgeous deep sapphire blue with shimmer. The application was super easy, no issues and the brush strokes are minimal.
Barielle
"End of the Rainbow"
3 coats, no top coat
This is a sheer aqua green shimmer, that is close to opaque in 3 coats, but would probably be best over another aqua creme, as a base. :)
Barielle
"Katalicious"
2 coats, no top coat
Luscious deep berry shimmer. I realize it's not very unique, but it is so pretty on the hands! Definitely keeping this one close!
Barielle
"Academy Award"
2 coats, no top coat
This red is awesome! Great name too! Smooth, rich, and honestly the only "True Red", I now own. It's the perfect red to wear on a date!.
All of these applied perfectly, I had no problem with pooling or application, and all of them dried with a nice shine. My favorites are "Sky's the Limit" and "Academy Award". :)

This manicure ,was a quick manicure I did before I headed to church, and I was amazed at how pretty it came out!
I started out with Orly "Purple Pleather" from the Plastix Collection in 2010.
Orly "Purple Pleather"
2 coats
"Purple Pleather" is a bright blue based purple creme that dries to a "plastic finish, which has a bit more shine than a perfect mate finish. Very rubber-like!
Then I added a quick coat of Finger Paints "Motley" to it. I would have done 2 coats, but I was in a rush to get going.
"Motley" was recently released this Spring by Finger Paints, and is part of a "flakie collection" that is highly sought after, for it's magical appeal! The flakies from this collection make every polish it lays over, a master piece.
Amazing, right? I can't wait to re-wear this manicure and do it with 2 coats of "Motley"...Woo Hoo!!!
Wow, so pretty! This manicure dried fast and smoothly, and after my last coat of Seche Vite, I was done! :)
Today have a beautiful blue shimmer released by Milani for their Spring 2012 collection. Milani "Sail Away" is a medium blue creme with blue and silver shimmer. Almost a perfect match for the deep blue shimmer of the ocean.
Milani "Sail Away"
2 coats
I paired this pretty blue polish with an accent silver foil nail, Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup in "Titanium Chrome". Both applied smoothly in 2 coats, and once topped with 1 coat of Seche Vite, dried perfectly!
This blue is bright and blue, and the metallic shimmer does not diminish the bright tone at all, really nice! :)
"Titanium Chrome" is different, it's like a very opaque white chrome, very cool. I found this little gem at my local Dollar Tree, great deal for a dollar. :)
I yeah...I love my blues and this is no exception! I can't think of another blue in my collection that is close to this one, so it's a keeper!
The sun is out, and you know what that means....Holographic!!!
Today is an awesome color from the highly sought after 2009 Kaleidoscope Collection from China Glaze. In my opinion, this is one of the best collections released by a polish maker, to date. Beautiful indoors and outdoors, this "chunky linear" holographic polish line is amazing !!!
"Tickle My Triangle"
3 coats
Darn, there is a hair on my pic :(... Anyway, this is a gorgeous fuchsia holographic polish, that delivers all the sparkle and shine of a glitter without all the chunky remains, LOL! :) It only took 2 coats to be opaque, but I did 3 coats, to get a deeper richer color and sparkle. 3 coats is easy with this polish because the formula is a bit thinner than most polishes, so 3 coats isn't at all thick!
My nails are a bit wide in these shots, because I just did the dishes before I shot theses pics, LOL!
There was some resent debate on MUA as to whether these should be called "scattered holographic" or "chunky linear holographic", LOL, now I say to you...after looking at this gorgeous "bling"...does it matter?
I used Nubar "Diamont" as my first top coat, and then coated everything in one last layer of Seche Vite....magnifique!
Yep, this collection was the best!!! Tell me...which collection do you think was/is the best?
