After my last crazy mani I wanted something basic. I decided to wear Barielle "Falling Star" which is a blue creme with copper glitter in it. It's very unique (which is why I bought it). Application was interesting. It was almost opaque enough for one coat but it was a bit patchy because the polish wanted to drag. I found it easiest to apply it quite thick but very quickly. It was easy to control though because once you put the polish down, it stuck. I did not wrap my tips and have had NO tip wear with this. :)
Here it is with Essie "Matte About You" on top. It really makes the glitter glow.
And with a glossy top coat. It looks a bit gritty but it feels smooth.
I think it's prettier in person than in pictures. The matte pictures were taken on day 3 of this... it doesn't really look any different! I even went swimming in a chlorine pool today and have no chips or tip wear. Amazing! I also have "Elle's Spell" but now I want more Barielle!
