Create the Perfect Barielle Manicure

Press Sample/Sponsored

Hello lovelies! Today I have a special post for you. Barielle was nice enough to let me pick out some things to create the perfect Barielle manicure! So I picked all the things I would use from start to finish.

First I started off with Barielle's Extra Gentle Cuticle Minimizer.

This is easy to apply and, as described, very gentile. You simply apply some to the cuticle area and let it sit for a few minutes then, using the included orange stick, gently push the cuticles back. Any dead skin will instantly come off as well. Once that is all done you just wash your hands with warm water.

Next I prepped my nails by adding Barielle's Nail Rebuilding Protein Base Coat.

This base coat is great if you have thin, peeling, brittle nails. This base coat is excellent to use with your favorite polish or to wear alone, to help repair any damage to your nails.

Pink Flip Flops is a lovely pink creme, it's shown here as 2 coats.

I used Stardust (iridescent glitters in a clear base) to create some subtle little "spots" and Head of the Class Green (a green leaning turquoise) to finish those spots off as a funky leopard print, I just used a tooth pick to make the little c's. I also decided that there was just a little too much pink so I polished my middle with the green as well and added the bow (from Vwa'la Nails) for a cute little accent nail.

I used Barielle's No-Chip Speed Dry top coat to give my manicure that gorgeous glossy look.

I made good use of Barielle's Non Acetone Nail Polish Remover to clean up my cuticles and sides, for a nice clean finish. Finally I applied Barielle's Intensive Nail Renewal Oil to my fingers and cuticles. A good oil is a must for me, especially if you have a hard time keeping any length. Moisture needs to be replenished after all the things we do to our nails all day long or they will just get brittle and break or split.

So what do ya think of my funky leopard print nails?
