It’s letter N this week in the A to Z series challenge. I have lots of polish beginning with N, but I’ve gone with Barry M Nude and a simple French manicure. The tips were created using one coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, applied with the help of some Nailene French manicure guides. […] Read more
Before I turned it into a half and half manicure, I wore my nails with just Barry M Coconut on them for a day. It’s a lovely cream colour that’s beautiful on its own and is also perfect as a base for adding nail art over. It’s not a dupe for OPI My Vampire Is […] Read more
When I bought the new Barry M summer 2014 Gellys, I lined them all up on the desk to admire them, and by a lucky accident placed Coconut, Almond and Elderberry next to each other. I was struck by how well they complemented each other, and decided to use them together. I was going to […] Read more
Barry M has just launched 7 new Gelly polishes as part of its summer 2014 collection – and of course, I had to have them all. I love the Gellys; in the main, they’re highly pigmented and often one-coaters. Some of the darker colours even stamp well. This is a surprising mix of colours for […] Read more
Superdrug is celebrating 50 years of trading, and they’ve a few brands helping them to do that. I know there are some limited edition GOSH polishes, and Barry M has a limited edition polish also. It’s aptly called Superdrug Birthday (NPSDB) and is pink to reflect the brand’s colour. It has a mix of tiny, […] Read more
The freestyle theme always fills me with dread. And today’s prompt for the FingerFood’s Theme Buffet challenge was no exception. “Freestyle” is no prompt at all really, and so always leaves me stumped about what to do. I tried a few things out on a nail wheel, using the new Barry M Spring Gellys and […] Read more
Here’s the other polish that I bought this week from the new Barry M Aquarium collection. This is a blue-green duochrome called Pacific. Well, you could argue that the green is a greeny turquoise. It reminded me very much of Chanel’s Azuré, so I pulled out my swatch wheels, and it’s not far off. Pacific […] Read more
I spotted the new Barry M Aquarium collection in Superdrug on Tuesday. There are four duochromes and two glitters. Both glitters are shard glitters and I wasn’t sure I’d like them, so I gave them a miss. But I bought two of the four duochromes; the darker shades – this one and Pacific, which is […] Read more
I wore this manicure a little while ago now, at the end of January assuming the date on my camera is correct. I wasn’t sure I really liked it and it only stayed on for one day. I was disappointed a bit by it. I very rarely wear glitter toppers, except when used for glitter […] Read more
I was going to wear KBShimmer Snow Way on my nails for today. But I did a sudden last minute u-turn and went for sparkly rather than snowy. I can’t believe this is the first outing for Red Glitter. And I can’t believe how much I love it. My first red sparkly love was Essie […] Read more
