WELCOME to the Vintage Challenge Week of Jezz from Little Miss Nailpolish!!! We are so exited to kick off our first joint Challenge and had a lot of fun in exchanging ideas and opinions!!! Jezz has become such a dear and close Blogger friend and I want to thank her for all her patience she showed in teaching and guiding me through the set-up of this challenge. In case I should insert a non-working link or have any other bugs, please tell me and bear with me as I am the rookiest of the rookies in this. Most delightedly we even have some more Bloggers joining and I for my part am most curious to find out what they hide in their treasure troves!!! You want to join us? Just add the links to your posts in the gadget below. For more information on the Vintage Challenge click here.
So we start the week with Blue - to keep up with the blue Monday. I own quite a number of blues - older and newer releases but this was a no-brainer: I wanted to show you Barielle Falling Stars from the All Lacquered Up Collection released in 2009. Falling Stars was my first ever lemming (many were and will be following). Hunting down Falling Stars helped me also to widen my knowledge about hit and fail online offers until I finally could call it MINE!!!
The above two pictures are taken indoors in daylight, the photo below in artificial light
Falling Stars is a crelly and definitely needs two coats to reach opacity. I had no issues with the application. The polish would exactly go and stay where I wanted it to be and dried at normal time. The many copper glitters make this one bumpy polish once dry, I applied two coats of A England The Shield to smooth out the surface.
Do you remember your first ever Lemming?
I look forward to read your comments - thanks for visiting!!!
Christine
This is beautiful! I should have picked it up when I saw it in the store not so long ago :P
ReplyDeleteHi Kas - thank you :-) -I am sure you will find it soon ;-) - looking forward to seeing it over at yours :-)
DeleteLooks gorgeous on you! I should wear mine, too. Some day... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you <3!!! You got it as well - how cool is this!!! I am sure it looks just gorgeous on you :-)
DeleteWow, you're showing such a beautiful polish! I've seen it many times and I've always went "sigh..I want this" :D
ReplyDeleteI like your and jezz initiative with the vintage theme, I'll try joining as much as I can. :D
Hi Gelic - awww you are sweet and I am so exited you joined in - YAY!!! Falling Stars is such a unique polish, I totally understand that your nails were itching to get it on ;-)
DeleteOh, hello sunshine! Or, maybe... Hello Falling Stars! You're now on my WL! XDDDD
ReplyDeleteLOL - so happy you like it!!! And I am so exited that such an old polish still rocks to the level that it makes it to WLs!!! xxx
DeleteSalut Christine, What a gem to open the Challenge! So this is certainly a "Christine-type-polish" so amazing in every aspect!
ReplyDeleteMy first lemming ever? well, only Chanel Jade, the one that sold out in one week and never came back. But there's no way I'm paying what they ask for it on e-bay... I think it's even romantic to think of it as "my impossible love". So Jade and me have a very "platonic" relationship. LOL!
I'm so very glad to have joined you in this challenge, I'm having loads of fun!
Salut Nati - awww you are too sweet, I am so glad I picked an appropriate polish to open the challenge on my end (your choice is drop dead gorgeous too)!!! Ah Chanel Jade - guess what I've been there too and I am so with you - no way I would pay any money beyond the price tag in a store!!! I love your reference to your ongoing "impossible love" with Jade :-D!! I am so happy you joined - it was also for me great fun to assemble the polishes for this week and go digging in my polish-cave - Bisous xxx
DeleteWould you believe I saw this polish yesterday in a multi-pack and loved it...but I wasn't crazy about the other colors so I put it back!! ARGHHH! Now I could kick myself. :/ It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa- haha, so I am one day late to show you this gem ;-)!!! Falling Stars is such a drop dead gorgeous shade and to date I cannot think of anything remotely resembling. Thank you love xxx
DeleteHi pet!! This polish is so awesome!! I love the shade of blue and the glitter is soooo charming!!! I can soooo understand that this was a lemming of yours!! I will show you my first lemming on Thursday ;) I'm so happy that several fantasic bloggers have joined us already on the very first day!! :D And the script is working too!! :D Hope you like the look I chose for our script...? And awww, you are so sweet! It was my pleasure to help you with some technical parts for this challenge <3 The rest we have done together as the best challenge team ever!! <3 Tomorrow it's red!!! :D Viele Küsschen!! xxx
ReplyDeleteHallo meine Süsse, thank youuuu <3!!! I am also super exited about those wonderful bloggers who have joined us - I feel like we are a troop of Musketeers out there to bring back those Vintage beauties :-). Well to be honest - without your help, we would not be live - OMG those techie details sometimes annoy me beyond *?!% - if you know what I mean and you made them so understandable and easy to follow for me - here comes a BIIIIG hug for you!!!! And I love to be the best challenge team ever along with you - that is one very, very big compliment!!! I am so curious what our reds will be tomorrow :-D - Puss, Puss xxx
DeleteI know exactly what you mean!! I hate it when I don't understand or the techie details don't work!! I feel like throwing out the computer out of the window!!! Arrrrgggghhhhh!!! ;)
DeleteA BIIIIIG hug back to you who inspire me and make me want to do better every day!! <3 My pupils say I'm very pedagogic - maybe I am...? ;) Viele Küsschen für Dich Süsse!!! xxx
Well to put it short and sweet - I feel so blessed to have met you and your credo "ACTIVATE" has become my mantra - and it works so well - thank you for everything!!! What a great compliment to you and yes, you definitely have a wonderful way to bring in your experience in an open and inspiring way. If this is called pedagogic I am in for it xxx
DeletePretty, pretty! How exciting it is to find your first lemming and to have it in your hot little hands :D My first was Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Burgundy Orchid. I remember feeling so bummed when I learned the line had long since been discontinued and how stoked I was to finally have that beauty on my nails. Anyhoo, this truly is gorgeous, and so you... I just love copper flecks in polish :) Congrats on pulling off a great challenge! If my plate wasn't so full at the moment I'd most certainly join in but I'll definitely be enjoying ogling your offerings :)♥
ReplyDeleteHi sis - thank you <3<3<3!!!! Yep, I remember, I was BEAMING!!! I remember Mark stating that I remind him of Golem in Lord of the Ring the way I was acting - LOL!!! And you know this is what I particularly like about your Blog - you are showing old and new polishes just exactly what you like and you have already introduced me to plenty of gorgeous. I am so proud you like our Challenge - and rest assured - and this will certainly not be the last Challenge we/I pull off. I hope you will like the reminder of the week as well - huuuuugs
DeleteHi Christine :) This is such a gorgeous shade on you !! I thought I had this one but after going thru my stash RIGHT NOW, NOPE I DON'T !!! What a shame :(
ReplyDeleteHi Vicky - thank you hon :-)!!! So happy you like it. WHAT? you don't own it - I could have bet that would be stored in your trove somewhere - oh well - I am sure you come up with a perfect DIY version sprinkling some copper over a muted blue ;-)
DeleteHoly cow! This is such a pretty and unique polish - I can see why it was your first lemming. I think my first real lemming was Chanel Peridot :) Have a fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteHi Essie - LOL - I love the "holy cow" expression :-). Of course Peridot - I also remember that post of yours ;-). Peridot-polishes certainly look gorgeous on you, sigh - just feeling an itch of a nailpolish regret that I cannot carry any Peridot like colors off - EVER ;-)
