Barielle Nude And Naughty Collection For Fall 2013

Great news!!  Barielle is hosting a giveaway of ten prizes consisting of both their fall collections as well as a Cole Haan handbag as their grand prize.  All you have to do is enter below.  It's open from September 12th through the 26th, so enter now before you forget!

Barielle released two collections for fall this year, and today I have for you the second collection called Nude And Naughty.  This is comprised of subtle yet sexy nudes that are great for days when you need a palette cleanser or something work appropriate.  The colors range from light to dark, cream to shimmery and will be a great addition to anyone's collection.


Starting from the lightest shade is Very Bare, a nearly white nude cream with a touch of pink color.   Application was a little streaky and needed three coats to become even.  No topcoat here.

Pillow Talk is a traditional peachy nude cream that would probably be a good nude for fair colored skin tones.  It has a similar application as Very Bare meaning it was a tad patchy and needed three coats to even out.  No topcoat here.

No Not Now is a shimmery barely there pink nude.  This one is very pretty and the silver shimmer is fairly visible on the nail.  I used two coats here with no topcoat.

My favorite of the bunch is I Got A Headache, which is a darker nude shimmer, almost like a cafe au lait shade.  The gold shimmer really pops and I added a picture of it in low light so you can see it better.  No topcoat here.

And finally the darkest shade of the collection, In Good Taste, which is a dark milk chocolate cream that has some green undertones to it.  I used two coats here and it had perfect pigmentation and consistency.  I did finish this with topcoat because I planned to wear it for the next day.

Overall, Barielle managed to come out with a lovely collection that isn't your typical boring nudes by combining shimmer and hints of untraditional undertones.  Application overall was good considering that nudes are frequently streaky.  I loved all the names of the polishes in the collection as well, with some bordering on hilarious.

Barielle is available at some retail outlets as well as their website barielle.com.  Remember to sign up for the emails because they frequently send out promotions that make their polishes very affordable.

As mentioned above, their having another sweepstakes and here is a what the prizes will be:
