Barielle Fall 2013 Sophisticated Lady Swatches & a Barielle Giveaway!!!

Press Sample

Here is the second Fall 2013 Bariellle collection, Sophisticated Lady. If you missed the first collection, Nude and Naughty, you can find it HERE. These polishes retail for $8.00/bottle or $25.00/5 piece box collection shown below. They can and be purchased at Barielle.com.

ALSO, don't forget to scroll to the end of the post for Giveaway details.

This is another impressive collection from the people at Barielle.  I can honestly say, when I first saw these I was not impressed. The colors seemed boring and ho hum. Once I saw how they applied and the complex colors, I changed my mind really fast!!! 

LONDON HIGH TEA

This color is such a classy pink, and the bonus is that it has a hidden gold shimmer. The formula on this was excellent and brushed on flawless. This is 2 coats of polish with 1 coat HK Girl Top Coat. Need I say more?

IN GOOD TASTE

The true color of this polish is a tough one to capture on film. It's a beautiful mix of brown and olive green. I see the olive in this one, than other times I look at it and I only see the brown. It's really a complex shade, and very impressive. It's a perfect color for the fall. The formula was perfection, and it went on very easy. This is 2 coats of polish with 1 coat of HK Top Coat.

TRES CHIC

This is yet another fabulous polish in this collection. This collection will not disappoint, because it has a little of everything in it. I love the variety in this set. The best way to describe this polish is a dusty navy. It is very chic for sure, the name really nails it. This is 2 coats of polish with 1 coat of HK Girl Top Coat. Navy blue has been really hot this Fall.

DANGER AT 8

This is fast becoming my new go to red polish. The color is a perfect red. As many reds as I own, I do not have this shade of red. It's a blue based red and works really great with my pale coloring. The formula was also flawless and I couldn't ask for an easier polish to work with. This red is a dream! This is 2 coats of polish with 1 coat of HK Girl Top Coat. This is the perfect red that I will be using for the Holidays coming up.

EDGY

I saved the best for last. This is an AMAZING color. It's a wonderful mix of raisin and purple. I LOVE LOVE IT. I could not take this polish off once it was on my fingers. I see this being a staple color for me this Fall. I have only had it on for one day, and several people have already complimented me on it. It's another one of those polishes that changes with the lighting. In dark lighting it will almost look black, but in brighter light the wonderful plum raisin color emerges. I can not say enough good things about this one! If you can only pick one out of the entire collection, I highly suggest this one. I sill have it on and I will not be removing it until my weekend getaway coming up. I have to really love a polish to keep it on for 3 days lol!!

I also wanted to let you know that Barielle is having a great giveaway that will start September 12th and end on September 26^th.  Don't miss out on this one guys, you can win both Fall collections with this giveaway.

600 Facebook Likes Giveaway!

Today is the start of my 600 Facebook Likes Giveaway for ThePolishHoochie's Facebook Page :)

This giveaway is for the US only. This set is for Breast Cancer Awareness, and I want to make sure the winner receives this in October, so mailing times will not allow me to get it to an International mailing address in time.

Cheaters will be prosecuted (lol - just kidding). Cheating is not tolerated and all entries are reviewed. Do not bother cheating, you will just be deleted. 

ThePolishHoochie has went Pink for the month of October to help spread awareness and make sure MEN and women are getting checked for this ugly disease.

 Some facts on breast cancer...

• About 1 in 8 women (just under 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.

• About 2,140 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in men in 2011. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000.

• For women, breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer.

• A woman’s risk of breast cancer approximately doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. About 15% of women who get breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it.

• About 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. These occur due to genetic mutations that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general, rather than inherited mutations.

(source of facts)

 
The Prize: 

One full size China Glaze Nail Polish in Naked, One Full Size Bottle of Seche Vite Fast Drying topcoat and a keychain to help remind you all year round to continue to get checked for Breast Cancer.

Close up of the Key Chain. Keep this on your keys and practice awareness all year round.

GOOD LUCK!!!

400 Facebook Likes Giveaway!!

Sorry this one is so late. I am trying to play catch up with all the pictures I took prior to my surgery ...

This giveaway is to celebrate 400 Likes on ThePolishHoochie Facebook Page. I'm really enjoying being part of the Facebook family of nail bloggers, and you guys really make it fun and exciting, so this is a thank you for my Facebook followers.

As you all now, I'm new to the Giveaway thing and I am learning as I go along. Since this one is a FACEBOOK giveaway, the option to follow my blog won't be an option. This is just for my Facebook Followers :) 

I wanted to do something different and fun. So this giveaway is PARTY NAILS. 

* 1 set of Kiss Nail Dress Nail Decals in Jeweled Strips

*1 Bottle of Sally Hansen Gem Crush Bling-Tastic

(1 winner) and it is international.

I absolutely ADORE the Kiss Nail Dress Strips. I reviewed them way back, and I have to say they are the best strips I used to date. There was no lifting and they lasted forever it seemed. Here is my review on them in case you want to check it out HERE. This set has that same raised 3D effect on the jewels. It is so super pretty. I also added in a bottle of Gem Crush in a matching color if you want to do an accent nail with the strips, or just one Nail Dress accent nail (the set lasts a long time like that).

Super Fun and Blingy!

I did notice a lot of cheaters on my last give away. Please note that I comb threw EVER entry, and I delete duplicates as well as people who say they are followers and SHARE the giveaway, when they actually have done nothing. YOU MUST BE A FACEBOOK FOLLOWER to participate in this giveaway. It's important to fill out all parts of the rafflecopter, so your entry does not get deleted. 

There is only ONE entry per person. If you share the giveaway and do not provide the URL link, that single entry will be deleted. Sorry to be so much of a stickler, but it's only fair to those that follow the rules. 

I will announce a winner within 48 hours of the close of the giveaway. You will receive an email stating you are the winner, and you will have 24 hours to reply. If not, a new winner will be picked. I can not be responsible if you do not check your email Spam folder, so make sure you double check once the winner is announced. 

Have fun and GOOD LUCK!!
