Very Bare French tips

I was thinking if No Not Now is a great mannequin hand color, I should try doing a french tip on it and see what it looks like. I used Barielle No Not Now and Barielle Very Bare for the tips. 

I'm obviously still working on my french tip skills.

Below are my between swatch pictures so I can remember what polishes I used!

Do you ever do random colors to make french tips before you change your polish? Or am I the only crazy one that does that?

Rose D'Oro

It's snowing here. Not a light dusting either. Full on cold snapping wind and large beautiful snowflakes coming down. I think we've had 6 inches. This may not seem like a lot to you up north, but I grew up in South Texas, so this is a whole lot to me! I decided to share a look I did a few weeks ago when it first got chilly. I was rebelling against the cold temperatures and did very warm, orange makeup. Obviously it didn't work. Winter is here. 

I tried to focus on warm, golden colors with the blush and eyes, which was actually the same color. The highlight flashes orange, which you'll see better below and bright orange lips. The little bit of turquoise in the eyes was a nice pop of color against all the warmth.

Full face! Sorta. 

Below is a picture that happened to focus on my inner corner. Let's pretend it was on purpose and use it to highlight the highlight color. It's Make Up For Ever Star Powder 90940 which is described as a white with orange highlights. I love that it picks up that orange when the light hits it. It was nice to use to brighten but not whiten and the orange shimmer was lovely.

No Not Now

Barielle No Not Now is a fabulous cool toned light brown with fantastic silvery rainbow shimmer. It's included in the Nude & Naughty collection.

I think without the shimmer this may have been a perfect mannequin color for me. Or close to it.

This last one is blurry but I wanted to show the shimmer. It's not over the top, and mainly looks silvery in most lights, but it does have a rainbow of colors sparkling. 

Barielle polishes are 3 free and cruelty free. Polishes retail for $8/each but a set of 5 is $25. This polish is included in the Nude & Naughty collection available here. 

Thanks for looking!

I Got A Headache

These names crack me up. This whole collection has me blushing a little but this one is the cheekiest!

Barielle I Got A Headache is a great warm brown with golden bronze shimmer. Interesting base color but the shimmer really steals the spotlight. I tried to really capture it in the picture below.

This was the first set of swatches I could edit without much trouble with color balancing. Hopefully the others will follow soon!

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.
