This is Barbara Daly Denim from Tesco. It's a horrid steely blue.
(Oh, and it was pointed out to me that it was the Greeks who came up with ba ba ba barbarians. True true.)
Oo, thought I when in the shop, this is very like Barielle Falling Star. This is why I am a rubbish nail blogger. Because that is a garbage observation.
See the microscopic coral glitter in the BD? The BD is more sheer (no, be honest, watery) than I'd like so I got out a tiddly make-up sponge on a stick and did a bit of a sponge gradient. Which is harder than you'd think because the Barielle dried on the nail almost at once. I need to work on that because it would be a good look when done well with different colours.
Any tips on sponge manis? Leanne of Do Not Refreeze is an expert on this as I recall. See what I mean?

I've never really tried to sponge a glitter polish, so couldn't give you any tips.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Leanne's blog. She's so talented!
I love Barbara Daly's Denim, but I find it so hard to work with, mine's thick and doesn't dry quickly, and bubbles too :( also the pink shimmer does NOT translate to the nail, which is what I bought it for! But there we go! :( xxx
ReplyDeleteNo way is that glorious blue horrid. It's blinking gorgeous. xxx
ReplyDeleteI think BD Denim is horrid too. I must stop buying BD polishes, they're all craptastic in my humble opinion. I keep thinking maybe this one will be different but they never are.
ReplyDeletegarbage observation = haha, you're so funny.
ReplyDeleteYour blog posts are like no other and this is why i enjoy them so much. Oh dear though, I am not sure I like this blue number from Barbary Daly. The barielle is an interesting mix. I would love to see this mix of red glitter on a dark blue polish xx
It's a nice colour, shame the formula sucks! I love the Barielle one, lovely red glitter.
ReplyDeleteSponging? I've not tried it but I want to.
