Gabriel Cosmetics Color BLOCKade Collection Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Hope you had a great weekend!  I've been playing a bit of catch up with swatching and I've got lots to show you this week.

Today I'll be showing you the Color BLOCKade Collection from Gabriel Cosmetics.  This collection consists of 5 polishes.  Two shimmers and 3 cremes.

First up is Cashmere.  This is a nice nude taupe shade.  Definitely work appropriate with a little edge.  The first coat was a little streaky, but the second coat made it all go away.  Other than that, no real application issues.  This is 2 coats.

Petrol is my favorite of the bunch!  This is a gorgeous dusty blue.  A bit dustier than my photos show.  No application issues.  Perfect in 2 coats.

Golden Yellow is just that.  Bright yellow with golden shimmer.  It's so pretty.  Yellow and my skin tone just love each other.  The shimmer just slightly peeks out on the nail, but isn't always visible.  Application on this was a little be trickier than the rest, but it's a yellow so that's to be expected.  It wasn't anything too daunting.  The first 2 coats were streaky, but the third evened everything out.  This is 3 coats.

Raspberry is a magenta creme.  It actually borders on being more of a crelly and has more of a gel like finish.  Application on this was absolutely perfect.  This is 2 coats.

And last but not least is Holiday Red.  This is a perfect Christmas party red with golden shimmer warming it up.  This has a nice application.  No complaints.  This is 2 coats.

Overall, this is a nice collection with very nice application and a little something for everyone.  Petrol is my personal favorite of the collection.
