Grape Escape

Early autumn.. Grape time, no? :) We have crazy low prices for grapes now and I seriously think I got grape overdose in my nutrition plan :) Whatever, I'm never sick of them, neither of the grape colour in polishland. Well, conditionally "grape colour". Just as the creators of the polish below imagined a grape colour. The creators of Barielle Grape Escape

I don't have much to add, you see everything yourself at the pictures. Flawless application in 2 coats with Barielle thin brush (❤). At some point I saw the bubbles, but it might have been my fault - sometimes I apply basecoat, go eat a slice of pizza and then continue with polish : {

And some fruit bonus :) I'm not really fond of swatching with fruits, but because of the name of the polish I couldn't but make an exception :)

If the grapes were really the same colour with the polish, I would assume that they are too toxic to be eaten. But look at OPI Grape Fit, China Glaze Grape Pop, Grape Juice and A Grape Fit!, etc. - they are all the same. Somehow THIS is the grape colour in the perception of the polish makers. Not in mine though: my grandpa used to make wine as his hobby, and I saw a looot of grape types of different shades, but of this one. Whatever, I still like it! :)

Swap №4

Guess what? I have swapped again :) This time I the swap pack went further than Europe - to US, to a lovely blogger Emily from Squared Nails. Swapping shortens our wishlists, and this time mine was shortened significantly. Look at the amazing polishes I got: 



Left to right:
                            OPI Do You Lilac It?
OPI Dim Sum Plum

                                            Zoya Caitlin
Zoya Jules
Zoya Marley

   Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure (!!!)
Barielle Jess' Champagne Toast
China Glaze Midnight Kiss

If not this swap, I seriously don't know where I would get some of these polishes... Yes, most of them are on ebay anyway, but the price... That's why I'm so grateful to Emily :) 
Imagine, she put Barielle as an extra!!!! And I couldn't but wear it first:


No idea why, but I'm in love with purple foils.. which Barielle Jess' Champagne Toast is. With quite visible pink (!) shimmer. To show you two other purple foils I have, I did a quick comparison between Barielle Jess' Champagne Toast, Nubar Vaso and Essence Fairy Berry from Fairytale LE:


To my relief, they turned out to be all different (Barielle has a blue undertone, and Essence is the most intense purple). Great, cuz I don't want to collect dupes in my stash.

What about you, my dear readers? Do you like foil finish?

P.S. In case you wonder where's the post about Swap №3 - there was nothing special, I just exchanged this mthfk@&%#@ for Essie Merino Cool :)
