China Glaze Road Trip for Spring 2015: My Picks!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 10 of the 12 polishes from the China Glaze Road Trip collection for spring 2015. Is anyone else gleefully excited for spring? I am never a fan of winter and I think each year I loathe it more and more. Come onnnnn spring!!

This collection is made up of pastels and brights and shimmers and cremes.

Pack Lightly is a peach shimmer. The formula on this was a bit patchy and at three coats, the patches were still visible. However, I have a rule about not doing more than three coats of a polish because I think that's just ridiculous for a creme. This was a gorgeous color though and the subtle shimmer was really pretty!

Sun's Up Top Down is a yellow with very subtle shimmer. In the light, the shimmer is visible but not so much otherwise. This was a bit streaky on the first coat but surprisingly, covered in 2 coats! 

More to Explore is the coral peach creme of the bunch and the formula on this was decent, as it covered in two coats. However, this took forever to dry. I completely ruined my manicure after waiting 40 minutes to touch anything!

Uhmm yikes!

Boho Blues is a lovely periwinkle blue creme polish. The formula on this was good, this was two coats with top coat.

Dashboard Dreamer is a light blue with an orangey pinky shimmer. This was very patchy, even at three coats. Wahh.

Wanderlust is a pale pink with some golden shimmer. This was also pretty patchy at three coats, as shown below.

Pinking Out The Window is a coral pink creme. This had an okay formula, I used 2 coats.

Trip of a Lime Time is one of those ugly greens that you will either love or hate. I am leaning more towards not loving this color, lol. This was 2 coats.

License & Registration Pls is a cobalt blue almost jelly polish. This was one of my favorites, no surprise there, I'm sure. This was 2 thin coats.

Even though the colors were lovely, this wasn't my favorite collection in terms of formula. Womp womp.

Talk to you soon!

Barielle Gentle Breeze for Spring 2015

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Barielle presents the "Gentle Breeze collection, which reflects the soft, gentle, eclectic hues this most welcome and delightful season". I don't know about you, but I'm ready for spring! Bring on the brights and warmth! LOL

Heaven Sent is a soft aquamarine, aka the perfect mint blue color! This was 2 coats. This was one of my favorites!

Champagne Bubbles is described as a tangerine creme but my immediate thought when I was applying it was "peanut butter". I used three thin coats.

Pink Parasol is a soft strawberry pink, or a perfect bubblegum pink. This was 3 thin coats.

Gray Sky is a greige frost. I used 2 coats here.

Under The Sea is a scuba blue shimmer and it should be no surprise that I love this color! It covered in two easy coats. You might want to double up on base coat for this color, as it will stain a bit!

I will say the formula on all of these was about perfect, I did very very very minimal cleanup for all of the swatches.

What do you think of these colors? Do they say "spring" to you??
