So...the infamous nail polish enabler, Scrangie has struck again. Yes, Scrangie brings all our nail polish addictions to new heights. Ahh, but we love her and her blog has a swatch for just about any nail polish out there. If you aren't familiar with her, I highly recommend you check out her blog.(Listed in " my blog list") OK, back to the topic at hand. About a month or so ago, Scrangie posted a blog, complete with swatches of Barielle's new Spring 2010 WildFlower collection. Typical spring colors and I wasn't overly impressed, except with one.
This little gem is called "JuneBug".It is a light teal with purplish/magenta glitter. Seems pretty simple but it was love at first sight. I had to have it.
There was just 1 problem. Barielle isn't sold by me, in fact I'm not if it's sold in the states at all(don't quote me on that)The only place I CAN purchase Barielle from is their website. Bummer. Not a complete loss though. But, they didn't have it listed on the site! NOOOO! Being the impatient person I am, I decided to make a Franken, to re-create this amazing color. I searched and searched for just the right color and finally I found it at ICING. ICING, is a part of Claire's Accessories, in case you aren't familiar with the store. The color is called "Laura's Fave"
I brought it home, and added about 1/2 teaspoon of magenta glitter and VIOLA! My very own JuneBug.
Of course JuneBug is now available on Barielle's site, but I'm quite content with mine. Barielle polishes retail for $8.00 plus shipping, for us unfortunate enough not to have them locally. The glitter I already had, & the ICING polish cost me $4.00. Pretty good deal if I do say so myself. Don't be afraid to try making your own polishes, it's alot of fun seeing what kind of results you'll get.
