Today I’d like to show you a polish I was very much looking forward to, and which totally didn’t work for me. I’m talking about Barielle “Buddha-ful”.
Apart from the fact that I dislike the name, Buddha-ful is a green flakie polish in a milky base. I needed 4 coats to achieve this:
Believe me when I tell you that the picture shows the best of the polish. Here is a full frontal shot:
Whatever I did, I couldn’t get it to be opaque. The idea of layering a sheer milky flakie polish over a, say, white, didn’t appeal to me either. So I did what I always do when layering doesn’t work out too good: I put it over black. Let’s take a look at how that didn’t work:
Buddha-ful won’t distribute evenly, so it looks like I have patches of milky polish over the (otherwise beautiful) comination of black polish and green flakies. I’m absolutel not fond of that.
Have you tried combinations in which Buddha-ful looks better? I’m willing to try!

I have Buddha-Ful and I have the same results!! I hate this polish, but I want to love it!!
It’s great to know I’m not alone. I thought it was just me
I just put it on last week. It looks really good on lighter shades like smoky purples or grays =)
I have yet to try that, but thank you for the idea! I’ll give it a go over a grey soon!
