Barielle Nude & Naughty

Barielle has done it again with an awesome collection! This collection is Nude & Naughty and is five great neutral shades. I appreciate the intermixing between lights and darks, mattes and shimmers. 

Galaxy Nails

Galaxy nails are a design I've loved but never tried until now. I think they turned out pretty good. I wore these for a few days and the girls at work loved them.

Opal Glitter Gone Wrong

This is what happens when I'm bored and playing with glitter.

Glitter: Jerome Russell #2452 Pixie Vial Opal

I want to cover myself in this glitter it's so beautiful. Soft and angelic and feminine and just gorgeous.

So wrong it's almost right.

Wet N Wild Tough Girl Collection

Wet N Wild has come out with a fabulous textured polish collection with six great colors. I happened upon a display and grabbed them right up! Three have shimmer, three are flat, and they all have a fantastic formula. They are generally opaque in one coat, but I put two just because I'm OCD. They all dry really quickly and do not chip easily considering you leave them without topcoat, but I've shown them both ways below.

The bottles are smaller than usual at 0.34oz/10ml and are a little pricier at $4.00/ea but totally worth it! That is, of course, in my nail polish hoarding opinion! =P

ATTEN Hut! and Femme Trouper, without topcoat

Femme Trouper is a peachy nude with golden shimmer. It sparkles so beautifully in the sunlight. My favorite out of the collection!

ATTEN Hut! is an army green (get it? haha) with golden shimmer. Another great one of the collection - love it. My second fav.

The rest of these photos were swatched at a different time (hence the longer nails) so sorry for the differences. I couldn't find the above polishes to re-do them, so I'm having to put up the original ones I did.

Beauty Is A Battlefield is a dark blue-leaning violet with pink and blue intermixed. Lovely color, I think it likely ties for second place, but you know I love purple.

Fatigue Glam is a flat dusty rose. Really pretty. No shimmer.

Tough Girl is a flat medium gray with a hint of brown. This one has no shimmer.

Left, Left, Left, Right, Left is a flat medium blue. I love how bold this color is and adore it with topcoat. This one really surprised me.

My top picks? Definitely Femme Trouper and ATTEN Hut! but they all are fantastic and I'd recommend grabbing them up if you have a chance.

Tracie

Another one from the vault that was missing!

Zoya Tracie is an oldie in terms of the nail polish world, but new to me! I love it. Nice spring color that felt nice to mix up all my bright summer colors. Soft cool, yellow-based green with silver shimmer frostiness that doesn't give you a hard time with brush marks.

I did these pictures awhile ago back at my old place which means they're 6+ months old. I believe I did two coats plus base and top coat. Zoya always wears well.

I do enjoy the yellow based color with the silver shimmer, which makes it overall a very neutral color in terms of color theory. I've never been a fan of greens until I got into polish and this one ranks at the top!
