From the Unusual Vault: Barielle Jess' Champagne Toast

Hey everybody!  Do you have a polish that is just, well, different?  Like maybe you can't put your finger on what exactly is going on with it?  Such is the case with Barielle Jess' Champagne Toast, from their 2010 Holiday Hustle Collection.  But, as with many of these strangely unusual polishes, I love it!


Barielle Jess' Champagne Toast

Jess' Champagne Toast is a lavender-blue-grey metallic frost with rose glitter.  How's that for complicated? 
The frost isn't too frosty though...it's not a brushstroke nightmare.

The rose glitter is very tiny and delicate and doesn't look quite like it does in the bottle.

I have read other reviews that say this dried very bumpy for them, but I didn't have that problem.  I used 3 thin coats, and the dry time is incredibly fast.

The light picks up the delicate sparkle

There is something sort of antique about this color.  I think it's quite lovely.  I have always been fond of lavender, and the rose glitter in this makes it unlike anything else I've seen.  But you have to be in *just* the right light to catch the full beauty of the unusual glitter.

Sometimes you wanna sparkle...sometimes you don't.

What do you think of Jess' Champagne Toast?  Do you have a polish that's gotten a bad rap from others, but you love it?  I have a lot like that...that's just me.  So just send me your unwanted polishes, and I'll love them and see their true beauty and build their self-esteem so that they can hold their brushes high!! :P 

Have a great Monday! :)

  1. :) This is really pretty on you. Ya know, I don't think I anything like this in my whole collection! Where do you find this brand? I have heard of it, but I thought it was only available overseas. Yes, I think Butter London No More Waity Katie gets a bad rap and it's actually a great polish if you look at the glitter in a different way....not sparkly. I think people need to learn to love it for what it is...more of a matte glitter in a jelly base. Have a great night!

    1. Next time you're in TJ Maxx or Marshall's, head back to the beauty products. I *always* find Barielle polishes in sets for an insanely good deal. This one came in a set of 5 full size bottles for $9.95. :)
      I've wondered about No More Waity, Katie. It does look very unique. I think I like it? LOLOL...

  5. This is really lovely on you! I love that it's got rose colored glitter. I'm a fan of light frosty/pearly colors so there you have it. I think there are, like, five nailistas in existence who actually still like and wear those, lol.

    1. Thank you! :) I actually saw a review for this polish that made a negative reference to "80's nails"...the nerve! I was a teenager in the 80's and it was the best time ever!! They're just jealous! :)
