Blackened Bleu (god, I do so love a pun!) is a gorgeous dark jellyish base with blueish green shimmery particles. I've seen lots of swatches of this on blogs which make it look very very blue, but mine has a definite green tinge, so I wonder if there is more than one version is out there. Either that or my eyesight is going, and that is a distinct possibility.
I don't know where Squeakymom bought this, or how long ago. I have only ever seen Barielle in the UK in TK Maxx, where they often have sets of 4 or more shades, but I've never seen this one in shops.
I love how sparkly this is in the evening sunshine! I did have a bit of shrinkage round the tips by the evening, but I think that was the Seche Vite rather than the Barielle.
What do you think?
Hey Lovely

Oooh, thank you!
DeleteThat looks really good on you, glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteI snagged a set of 5 Barielle blues, including this and Swizzle Stix about this time last year in my local TK Maxx, heavily reduced because someone had swapped one out & there were two Swizzle Stix(s). Blackened Bleu is gorgeous, but a pretty close dupe for a Sinful Colors that I've used loads of, hence it was in the swaps pile.
