IMATS NYC 2013 photos and Haul! (pic heavy!)
This past weekend was so amazing. I had the opportunity to visit NYC with some of my polish besties, and we had a blast! In this post will be my nails from IMATS and also my haul from IMATS. If you follow me on instagram, you have already seen some of these photos, but I included more of the entire event in this post. :)
First up are the nails I wore to IMATS. This polish is Jesse's Girl Julie G frosted gumdrop in Rock Candy. One of my friends had this before we went, and when I got to IMATS I picked this beauty up! There will be swatches later on of the part of collection I now own.
The next photo is of my haul! I know that everyone loves to see haul photos, I know I do!
I got 4 OCC lip tars at the IMATS and one at Sephora the day before: Pretty Boy, Strumpet, Stalker, Harlot, and Clear (The price for the Lip Tars at the IMATS was $12 each(they are $18 regular price!))
I got from Jesse's Girl Cosmetics a set of 4 of the Frosted Gumdrops collection[they were out of two of them] and they were on sale for 3 for $10, so I walked away with 6 polishes. The four gumdrop polishes I got were Rock Candy, Crushed Candy, Hot Cinnamon, and Tangerine Dream, and for the other two I got Butterflies and Rosebuds a shimmery red-violet, and Gelato in Venice a pretty mint color. Also from Jesse's Girl I got an eyeshadow Palette($5), a lip gloss and a nail polish for free because Jesse walked around the line and handed me a bag of freebies! How sweet!
I also got some brushes at Imats: seen in the left of the photo, below I have a closer look at the brushes and the prices listed.
In total I spend less than $100. I totally could have spent more, its so easy and cheap to get things!
These are the brushes I got all layed out. I got two of mostly every one, a set for me and a set for my mom. Most of the black handle brushes were $1 excluding an eyeshadow shader brush which was $2.50. The pink handle brushes were $3, and the large stipple brush on the end was $.7.50
Now for more good stuff! The photos from IMATS! It was crazy packed around certain counters, and I didn't want to fight my way to the Inglot counter, so I just let it be. lol.
OCC and the Lip Tars!

Some other photos from my trip!
My friend Marisa over at You Had me at Makeup!
My friend Jessica over at Polished10!
And my friend Pubali over at Color Sutraa! Pubali brought me some gorgeous polishes from her trip to Turkey before IMATS! I can't wait to swatch them for you all!
Overall I had a great time! I had a fun time in New York and a great time at the IMATS!

Kiko with GOSH Gasoline
These are some nails from the vault! I am using 2 polishes I got while I was in London this past summer!
Used in this mani is Kiko 331. It is a gorgeous purple creme polish. I applied 2 coats of this polish, no topcoat. On par with every other Kiko polish I own, the formula is fantastic. Smooth and creamy and two coats covered all VNL.
I added an accent nail of Gosh Gasoline. Gasoline is a pretty purple glass fleck/shimmer.

I am going to IMATS New York this weekend! I am so excited! I am meeting up with some of my blogger buddies to go to the show, and will definitely have some pics when I return!
I also only have 2 more weeks of classes, and hopefully I can fulfill my promise of blogging more frequently when classes end!

Barielle Nail Art!
*this product was sent for my unbiased review*
Last week I showed you the Barielle Sweet Treats Collection, and today I have some nail art that I did using one of the polishes! I used Green Apple Chew for the base of this mani.
After I applied the polish, I began to do a process similar to water marble to get the effect you see on the nail. I dripped black polish into a cup of water, and spritzed it with a bottle of hand sanitizer to make dots similar to the OPI Black Spotted that was released in Europe. What actually happened was very cool, and I am quite pleased with the results.It reminds me of lightening! My favorite nail is my ring finger.
What do you think about this?

Barielle Sweet Treats Spring 2013 Review
*these products were sent to me for consideration for an honest review*
I have a nice pastel spring collection to review for you all. The Barielle Sweet Treats collection consists of a shimmery blue, a pastel yellow, pastel purple, a bright chartreuse, and a vibrant coral.
First up is Barielle Blue Cotton Candy. I was in love with this color in the bottle. It is a gorgeous blue with a silver shimmer. This is the only shimmer in the collection. The application was great on this one, two coats covered completely. After I applied it though, I think it washed out my skin tone.
Up next is Barielle Green Apple Chew. This is probably my second favorite from this collection. this bright chartreuse green is one of my favorite colors, and the application on this polish was not bad at all. It was a little on the thick side, and two coats covered with no VNL.
Barielle Orange Parfait is my absolute favorite from this collection. It is a gorgeous coral that applied well with two coats.I've worn this twice already since receiving the collection to review, and it lasted three days before I removed it to apply another polish.
Barielle Banana Drop is a light yellow. the formula on this one is a little thick, but like Green Apple Chew applied in two coats with no VNL.
The final polish in this collection is Barielle Lilac Jelly Bean. This pale lilac purple applied well in two coats, but similarly to Green Apple Chew and Banana Drop was on the thick side. It was not unmanageable though.
Overall I think this is a great spring collection. My favorite color from this collection would definitely be Orange Parfait, followed by Green Apple Chew. My least favorite would have to be Blue Cotton Candy, because I think that it washes out my skin tone, and that it is the only shimmer in this collection.
