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
I’ve been wanting to do a stamping decal for a while now. I have used a similar method to more easily put a hand drawn image on my nails, which is how I did my Roobarb & Custard nails. But I’ve not done it with a stamp yet. I had been searching through my stamping […] 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
I was wearing Pacific, which is the blue-green ducochrome from the new Barry M Aquarium collection, and I was all ready to test out some nail tattoos that I had been sent by Fake Tattoos. I received two packs of tattoos, with various designs on them, including birds, fish, anchors, ice-creams, palm trees and boats. […] 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
It’s chevrons today in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. I messed up completely today. Not with the manicure; I’m happy with that, even though they were rather hastily – and not very well – cleaned up. But, I messed up with the challenge. I knew I needed to do chevrons for a challenge […] Read more
Happy Valentine’s Day! Well, I made it. I’ve posted every day for the Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge. Today’s final prompt calls for us to recreate someone else’s manicure or to do something freestyle. I tried a few different things out that I’d not done before, but they all failed, so in the […] Read more
It’s hearts in today’s Week of Love Valentine’s Nail Art Challenge and I’m so pleased with what I’ve done. I’ve created some reverse gradient hearts. Firstly, I created a gradient on my nails, from white at the cuticles to dark pink at the tips using – from darkest to lightest – Barry M Pomegranate, NYC […] Read more
