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.

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!
ReplyDeleteI had the same experience with my bottle, but damn, cornflower blue + copper? I'll live with the need for thinner! :)
ReplyDeletewow, this looks great on you! mine wasn't tooooo thick, it was workable with me, I was surprised!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!! I definitely recommend this, just make sure you already own a bottle of nail polish thinner lol.
ReplyDeleteoh! it's the 1st time I see a creme with glitter! Barielle seems a really nice brand!
ReplyDeleteThe overwhole mani looks so pretty!
Ooooo! One of my Barielle lemmings! It's so gorgeous - the copper and blue combination is so beautiful. Good to know about adding thinner. :D
