Swatch Me I’m Falling for Barielle’s New Wildflower Nail Polishes

January 21st, 2010 by Karen 32 Comments

Mornin’, ladies. 🙂 I’ve been up since four (WHEE!) and wasn’t able to fall back to sleep, so instead of dreaming about Ryan Reynolds I spent the wee hours this morning listening to Debbie Gibson (LOL!) and painting my nails.

I used Barielle’s new Wildflower collection for spring ($8 each).


From left to right: Blossom, Snap Dragon and Daring Dahlia

Barielle says their inspiration for the six new shades came from two things: 1) spring flowers and 2) the many women close to the brand who are still battling against, or have lost their fight with, ovarian cancer.

Three of the colors — A Bouquet for Ava, June Bug and Myrza’s Meadow — are actually named after three of these special ladies, and 100% of the proceeds from sales of the shades through ocrf.org will be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (what an awesome idea). 🙂

Of course, like Barielle’s other polishes, the six Wildflower shades are free of formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl-phthalate — potentially harmful compounds commonly found in lesser-known, off-market nail polish brands.

Do you have a favorite among these shades? Mine’s A Bouquet for Ava.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I WANT a ‘bouquet for Ava’ – I may have to order it. I don’t know where I can find Barielle in stores, is it even sold in retails stores?

    A bouquet for Ava is so gorgeous. Not a fan of how chunky the glitter looks in a few of them though.

    I’m really liking Blossom. It’s hard to find a peach that doesn’t pull orange on me, but this one looks great! Want to try it.

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
