Barielle 2010 Holiday Hustle: Elle's Spell & Coalest Day of the Year
I still haven't gotten all of my Christmas decorations down and put away, and I still haven't finished with my Holiday polishes! Don't forget that Barielle is offering free shipping through January 9, so if you'd like to pick up some shades from this collection, now's a great time to do that.Below: Coalest Day of the Year is a deep charcoal grey shimmer that is shown using just one coat! How coal is that? This shade is filled with tiny silver shimmer that contrasts nicely with the base color. The first photo was taken with an Ott lamp, while the second photo was taken with no flash under some new light bulbs that say UV filter on them. I don't know what they are specifically, but I told my husband I needed better make up applying lighting in the bathroom and I love these! Under that lighting, you can see more blue shimmer.



I'm really pleased with Barielle's Holiday Hustle Collection so far. It has a nice range of shades and finishes, as well as creative names. I'm thrilled that more companies are starting to come out with colored versions of the type of polish that started a craze-- namely, when Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure brought flaky holographic polish to the mass markets.

I love both of these but I haven't layered ES yet.
ReplyDeleteI scored Elle's Spell at a local ULTA store. I got another shade too but not Coalest.....makes me wish I got that instead!
ReplyDeleteLove both of these! Kori xoxo
ReplyDeleteLOVE how you layered Elle's Spell over Coalest! It's GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeletejaljen~it's really fun to layer with. It doesn't get as dramatic as SH Hidden Treasure, but sometimes subtle is better.
ReplyDeletekittypolishnbags~I have a lot of charcoal grey shimmers, but I always seem to find more of them to love!
Kori~glad you like them! I was happy with the entire collection :)
Jennifer~thank you! Always fun to see what kind of look you'll end up with when layering.
