Blowing Dandelions Stamped on Beige

Barielle Gentle Breeze Collection - Spring 2015

Today I have Barielle's Spring 2015 Gentle Breeze collection to share with you!

There are five polishes in this collection: two cremes, one sheer creme, and two semi-frost finish polishes. The cremes are Heaven Sent and Pink Parasol, the sheer polish is Champagne Bubbles, and the frosty shimmers are By the Sea and Gray Sky.

Rather than showing pictures of the polishes, I have a live swatch video of all of them.

Glisten & Glow Swatches - Gloss48 Review

I was recently contacted by Gloss48. I've never looked into shopping through them, but I have heard of them. They sell polish and other products from a variety of indie brands.

A little snipit from their website:

At Gloss48, we are constantly exploring the beauty universe, collecting the most exciting and effective must-discover products.  There are tens of thousands of niche/indie/cult beauty brands out there, inventing new skincare technology, fighting frizz, and bucking traditional color cosmetic trends.  These product pioneers craft the next generation of beauty out of personal need, passion, and love.

Finding great niche brands within the crowded beauty market – or the mall – isn’t easy.  In fact, it can be a major headache, and it’s been known to cause wrinkles.  So we do the work for you.  We try it all, but we bring you only the best of the best.  And we’re all about experimentation, so we offer you our featured products, which are often Gloss48 exclusives, at a discounted price. This gives you the chance to discover the products you love most without breaking the bank. Score.

So for review purposes, I was sent three Glisten & Glow polishes: HK Girl topcoat, Newbury Street, and (Yells) NORM! Beginning tomorrow, Gloss48 will be selling Glisten and Glow products, which you'll be able to browse here.

First up, my swatch of Newbury Street.

Ulta - Jaded

 I have a quick swatch to share with you today that I did a few months back and never posted.

This is my one and only Ulta polish that I received from someone else: Jaded.

Born Pretty Store 3D Crystal Rhinestone Review

I have some really pretty 3D red crystal rhinestones from Born Pretty Store to share with you. They come in 12 different colors, but I picked red because I thought I might be able to make some cute ruby-inspired nail art with them.

I thought these would be large, but still small enough to fit one on each finger. The website says they are 1 cm in diameter, so I guess I should have looked at a ruler to see what I was going to be getting.

I decided to put the stone on a base of Julep Amelia (why, I have no idea because I hate streaky pearl finishes, but I figured I'd give it a shot since it was in my untrieds).

Gorgeous

I have had Sinful Colors' Gorgeous for at least a year now and have yet to wear it! =P So I figured now is as good a time as any. I am not a big fan of pearls, but I liked this one when I saw it. This is two coats. It was opaque in one, for the most part, but 2 made me feel better. =)

It bubbled a little, but I am not that worried about it because I am just using it as a base for Sally Hansen's Bling-Tastic, the single Gem Crush I broke down and got.
