Barielle Falling Star

Happy Tuesday ladies! Welcome to all my new followers!! And a very warm thank you to all of the kind ladies who referred you! For today's mani I have Barielle Falling Star, which is another polish I got from my best friend for my birthday.

Falling Star is a gorgeous cornflower blue with small round copper glitter. It's opaque in two coats, and I absolutely love the creme finish with glitter. My issue here was the formula, as the formula was terrible! On the first few strokes I thought maybe that the bottle was never properly sealed, as it was thick, goopy and stringy. I tried to work with it, but only got 6 nails in before I ran and grabbed the polish thinner. I added 15 drops before it was easy to work with. I thought there was something wrong with my bottle, but a Google search proved that this is the formula of the polish.

Although I don't normally like super thick polish, the pay off was gorgeous so I know I'll be reaching for this polish again in the future. The photos below show 2 coats of Barielle Falling Star with 1 coat of Seche Vite.

  1. I've never tried a Barielle but this color is so lovely. I love those shades of blues that range from cobalt to dark periwinkle. The gold flecks are beyond awesome. You always seem to find the coolest polish!

  2. I had the same experience with my bottle, but damn, cornflower blue + copper? I'll live with the need for thinner! :)
