Barielle Products Review And ~~Giveaway~~

Who We Are
Globally regarded as a pioneer in nail, hand and foot care, Barielle is renowned for addressing the health, beauty and vitality of nails, as well as revolutionizing industry standards by integrating results-oriented skin care concepts with premier nail care. A trusted beauty source for both retail and professional markets worldwide, our unique approach caters to the concern and condition of nails and related skin care, offering an exclusive range of high-performance products and simple at-home and in-salon regimens that address the individual, real-life needs of nails, hands and feet.

Our Philosophy
Since our inception over 30 years ago, Barielle has stood apart as the absolute first to practice a progressive “3-free” philosophy on formulation: absolutely none of Barielle’s products contain Formaldehyde, Toluene or Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)—chemicals that are suspected to be harmful. Instead, we have enlightened the world on safe, effective and natural alternatives such as Keratin, Proteins, Vitamins, and Oil and Plant Extracts.

Our History
Barielle’s story began in the unlikeliest of places: the legendary Belmont Racetrack. Husband and wife equestrian aficionados, Howard and EsteLee Price, devised a breakthrough formulation to condition the hooves of their million-dollar thoroughbred racehorses. As weeks went by, the Prices discovered that they had also created a million-dollar product for nails—one that would quickly become an integral element in the modern manicure and pedicure. The cream, which strengthened their horses’ hooves to resist splits and cracks, had the same effect on the nails of the jockeys that applied it. Reformulated for women and men, the miracle product “Nail Strengthener Cream” was born and Barielle was founded.

Our Collection
For over 30 successful years, Barielle has expanded to include a wide range of lacquers, creams and treatments that deliver fast-acting results, remedy existing damage and help protect against future damage to nails, hands and feet. The product collection identifies and classifies concerns including weak, discolored, splitting and hard-to-grow nails, and also offers an assortment of scrubs, creams and lotions dedicated to exfoliating, moisturizing and hydrating hands and feet. Working intimately with top dermatologic and nail technician professionals, we are committed to staying true to our origins while remaining on the forefront of cutting-edge formulations and industry trends.

In 2005, the color polish collection, Shades by Barielle, launched the company into nail fashion, positioning Barielle as the ultimate source for beauty from tips to toes. Each season, new trend-setting hues that paint nails in the latest fashion are added to a core collection of classic colors

I was very excited to get to try some of Barielle's products.

I was given the three items pictured below-

As you all know, I am a mail carrier. I have to wear sneakers when I am at work, and by the end of a 90*+ day, my feet are icky. In the winter, they get really dry and cracked.

There is nothing I can do about it, besides quiting my job, which would be bad!!

Barielles Total Foot Care Cream helps keep and replenish moisture to get rid of calluses and rough skin on your feet.

My feet haven't been too bad so far, but I do like using the foot cream to help prevent problems. Plus it's nice to have Hubby rub my feet with it!!

I was also sent a bottle of Nail Polish. I picked Swizzle Stix. It's a light blue color.

I love it. I had my nails done the other day, and the tips are Swizzle Stix with black lines. I tell people I was in a violent mood (black and blue!!)

I am very happy to be able to give one lucky reader their very own bottle of Nail Brightener to try. A $16.00 value!!
