As i'm sure you've all seen numerous times, Barry M has a wide range of nail paints in various colours, suitable for every season and occasion. They're available in most Boots and Superdrug stores, and retail at £2.99 each with 'buy 3 get one free' deals on regularly! Many of the 'effects' e.g. foil, glitter, crackle, are often dearer, but still the only £3.99. As far as i'm aware the collection is still ever expanding.
a fairly new obsession, but my collection is ever growing!
L-R; Lilac Foil (142), Foil effects (141), Foil (319)
The collection has a fab 'effects' range, with 3 different foil effects including a gorgeous matt purple, a gold with very orange tones and a bold silver.
The collection also includes a glitter range, perfect for the holiday seasons!
The pink iridescent applies a sheer coat, with more rainbow tones than pink - the light reflects shades of blue, green, pink and yellow gorgeously.
The silver glitter applies a much thicker coat. With one coat, the glitter compliments the chosen base colour on your nails, however the nail paint could be worn alone for an all over, opaque look with two/three coats.
Both nail paints have proven difficult to remove with my strongest nail varnish remover! and if you're like me and can't abide the feel of cotton wool, this may be a problem! however i simply used my Acetone remover (for any gel/acrylic removal) and the problem was solved :)
L-R; Silver Glitter (147), Pink Iridescent (264)
L-R; Peach Melba (318), Coral (296), Pink Flamingo(305), Shocking Pink (272)
These next paints are far more summery! with a few coats, they can brighten up the most miserable of days; for me anyway!
In the picture the Peach looks far more yellow, although an accurate swatch proves to be the perfect neutral :) if you're looking for simple with a bit of oopmh this is the one for you! a gorgeous, plain paint with very pink tones. The tone of your skin is a huge factor in the buying of this paint, as i'm not sure it would compliment every tone!
The coral is much more of an orange, rather than a nice inbetween pink and orange. Still a lovely colour, although not entirely true to it's name!
Pink Flamingo is a much brighter, almost neon pink! lovely for the right occasions in summertime, but personally not one of my 'go-to' colours!
Shocking pink is a bold, sexy pink. Comes across as much more mature compared to colours like baby pink, and personally the only shade of pink I can wear comfortably! easy to tone down or to glam up!
These beauties are my naughty nautical paints! Perfect for Autumn/Winter seasons. These colours are so elegant and really help to elongate yours nails.
The Colbalt Blue is very much for the brave hearted, but still a lovely bold, matt blue that would be perfect for Spring/Summer.
Navy is almost black with reflections of blue from the light, perfect for an evening event.
Racing Green is similar to Navy in that it could be mistaken for black, with the slightest reflections of dark green. Again, a very sexy, seductive shade.
L-R; Colbalt Blue (291), Navy (292), Racing Green (299)
PLEASE IGNORE THE NAIL PAINTS IN THE LEFT CORNER. PHOTO FAIL.
Rasberry was love at first sight! my first Barry M purchase. This deep red is again a very seductive, sophisticated shade if you're not brave enough to go for a full out and out bus decker red!
Dusty Mauve is a very intriguing shade. An off, tope-esque brown with very visible tones of purple and blue - a lovely neutral with a twist!
Mushroom is one of my very favourite shades. THE PERFECT NEUTRAL! so
Matt White is exactly what it says on the tin. A very useful, staple colour for any girls collection!
As i said, my collection is ever growing as i can't pop into Boots or Superdrug without being indulged! if you've never tried this brand i highely, highely, highely recommend :) apply so easily, with only 2 coats needed and such an affordable price!
Feel free to comment and let me know what you think of the brand or if there are any colours i'm missing that are note worthy!
