Barielle Unraveled Rust

Howdy!  Sorry for my break - I have a huge bunch of polish to post including the rest of this Barielle fall collection "Style in Argyle."  Worst part is I have the pictures, I just need to edit and write the posts.  Rawr!


This interesting color here is Unraveled Rust.  Despite this weird yellow bottle color, this is actually a burnt rust creme, and you'll be able to tell better in the other pictures.  I'm not sure why it shows up so yellow here - I even double checked my bottles to make sure I didn't mess up the pictures!  I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Unraveled Rust and a top of Seche Vite.  I did have a wonky brush on this bottle (boo) and I noticed that the formula was a little on the thick side.  I needed quite a bit of cleanup afterwards.

Two different sun pictures here - you can see some of that weird yellow in the bottle, then a muddied brown rust color in the second picture and more of a darker red brown in the first.  This is definitely a unique color.

In the shade, it's a very dark rust brown color - like I said, very unique.  I can't think of another color I have like this in my collection but I'm going to keep looking.  I was very impressed with the uniqueness of this color.  UNIQUE.  ^_^

Barielle retails for $8/bottle.

Blogs of Note

Happy Sunday!  Here are 3 more blogs for you to check out!

First up is Magic Maid.  She has medium length nails and includes a list of contests and giveaways of her fellow bloggers on her site.  She includes a lot of polishes that I haven't been able to find, which is great because it helps in blind purchasing online.


Next is Temptalia.  Blog owner Christine mainly review makeup but includes nail polish as well.  The majority of her blog is M.A.C. related but she is the absolute go to blog for all new releases, as she is privileged to getting the information or products first.  She has been blogging for at least 4 years that I know of, and has several postings a day, so I recommend using your RSS feed for sure on this one.  She has medium length nails and while I don't absolutely love her nail polish technique of 3 strokes (doesn't always get into the sides), she does always have completely accurate colored and clear pictures.


Last today is Nail of the Day.  My personal friend Cassie is the owner and she is just starting out.  However, she has a big love of polish especially after making several purchases that I had egged her on getting.


Enjoy!

When we learned about Katy’s love for lacquers, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to work together to create this glamorous collection.”

From alluring glitter to shiny luster, the four shades in the Katy Perry Collection by OPI include:

Teenage Dream
