Barielle ~ Jordana’s Skinny Jeans
Denim blue with blue and
silver shimmer with a metallic finish
I have a funny relationship with Barielle’s polishes. I usually like
them when I see them, and I buy some, but then after having worn them once, I’m
not convinced any more, and I usually get rid of them. So I only have a few
left in my stash now. Having said that, when I saw “Jordana’s Skinny Jeans” I
knew I had to at least try it. I mean, I can always pass it on if I don’t like
it anyway.
But let me tell you, that this particular Barielle is going to stay with
me. The formula is fantastic, and it’s a one coater! Drying time is good and it
looks really great on the nails. What is there not to love!?
I gave it two coats out of habit, but I can assure you that it wasn’t
really necessary. Here’s what two coats, and no topcoat look like:
Pretty, isn’t it?
I applied a layer of China Glaze “Wireless Holographic Top Coat” over
it. It doesn’t give much of an effect in ordinary lights, but here’s what it
looks like under a light bulb:
I like that!
Then I stamped on it. I used Mash’s stamping plate Mash-43 and stamped
with Essie’s Blue Rhapsody from their Mirror Metallics collection from last
year. I sealed it all with a layer of Poshé top coat, and here’s a pic from my
lightbox so you can see the lack of holographic effect in low lights:
And here’s a pic under the light bulb:
The polishes I used:
I really like this, and I’m so positive over the fact that I’m actually
getting to keep another Barielle :D I also love this stamping design with the
bubbles, it’s a great design, IMO!
