Barielle Nail Polish Swatches Part II

Here's part II of the Barielle swatches series. This was supposed to include Razz-Berry and Glammed Up Garnet, but my photos were too ugly so I am saving them for later.

Anyhoo, here are some of my favorites from my haul:



Coco Bar is a dark cocoa brown that is more similar to MAC's Rich, Dark, Delicious than the other Barielle shade in Make-It-A-Latte. However, I think I prefer Coco Bar over Rich, Dark, Delicious as the former is lighter and is obviously brown even indoors. RDD just looks black (to my eyes) until sunlight hits it. Coco Bar is a beautiful dark chocolate that is an amazing shade for fall.



Slate Of Affairs is perhaps one of the very few blue shades that I absolutely adore. It is described as the color of worn denim on the website, but I am not entirely sure if that description fits. It is a beautiful blue that I am wearing right now with silver french tips. Love it.



Shell Shock is another favorite. Very clean, very pretty, very classy. Enough said.



Beaches and Dreams is a cream peach that I'd thought would be streaky, but it was kind of easy to apply. I love the opacity of this color. I would also love to add dark-colored Konad images to this one.

There you go, another installment of my Barielle swatches. Watch out for more in the coming entries!

Did you buy this from online or in person at a store? I've been trying for the past few days to find Shell Shock online for less than $8 but to no avail :(

Is there a dupe for Shell Shock? It's such a beautiful color!!!!
