So I'm loving Shades by Barielle's Sugar Rush Summer 2009 nail polish collection! The collection includes six colors: Grape Escape, Cotton Candy, Sand-Al Chic, Lemondrops, Swizzle Stix and Decadence. They're free of formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP (dibutyl phthalate) and let me tell you- each shade speaks for itself!
The "finish" of each shade is as follows: Creme (Grape Escape, Swizzle Stix & Lemondrops), Sheer (Sand-Al Chic), Shimmer (Cotton Candy) and Metallic (Decadence).

I thought "Lemondrops" was the perfect shade of yellow, so I decided to swatch it for this post. It's a creme and it's highly pigmented. There was a little streaking, and after three coats I achieved the perfect finish.
Lemondrops dried very quickly, with high shine, and of course- I used a base and top coat with it. After 5 days, so far no chipping!
If you visit Barielle.com and click on a nail shade, you'll find an example of what the shade will look like on a light, medium and dark skin tone.
This last photo is just me having fun with my camera. I loved looking at Lemondrops against my hot pink iPhone case....
Please let me know your thoughts! Love the shades?
