Barry M Kingsland Road – Textured Nail Effects

Here is the second of the four new Textured Nail Effects polishes being released by Barry M: Ridley Road, Kingsland Road, Atlantic Road and Station Road, as part of the Spring 2013 release.

Kingsland Road is a really very pretty light baby pink. I think it looks very similar in tone to Strawberry Ice Cream by Barry M from the Ice Cream Collection. The added texture makes a really interesting extra dimension to the colour.

Barry M Ridley Road – Textured Nail Effects

Barry M have kindly sent me the new Textured polishes and the new Gelly polishes from their Spring 2013 release, as well as the three gel eyeliners (which are amazing) and the Lash Vegas Mascara. Not sure yet when I’ll write about the eye products as I feel they need a bit more of a road-test than nail polish!

I’ve decided to do a post for each of the textured polishes as I don’t think they all fit the same boat – some are more sheer than others, some are more matte, etc etc. Ridley Road was the one that had me with baited breath, so it comes first!

China Glaze Water You Waiting For

As I am writing this post I have lost all sense of reason and spent pretty much £80 on nail polish in the last 24 hours. I really need someone to hold me accountable for all this spendage!

Anyway, I’ll try and distract myself from the madness… Here is another pretty polish from the China Glaze Cirque du Soleil collection.

I received a very exciting email this morning from Barry M, with all the amazing new products set to be released this February!

There are 4 main ‘categories’ of products being released. These are the Lash Vegas Mascara, 3 new Gel Eyeliners, 4 new Gelly Nail Paints and 4 new Textured Nail Paints!

Carry on reading for more information on each of these products! 🙂 Read More »

China Glaze It’s A Trap-eze!

Something has taken over my ability to limit my spending this month… maybe it’s the amazing new collections coming out every other week! I’ve ‘accidentally’ bought 5 Butter Londons, 3 China Glazes, 3 OPIs, 7 Illamasquas since the beginning of January and I’m not convinced that’s the end, either!

Anyway, since I am now inundated with amazing polishes, I’d better get on with showing you them! Here is China Glaze It’s A Trap-eze! – a gorgeous white jelly containing blue, pink, yellow, green, silver, orange and purple glitter… it’s like the topping on a cupcake 🙂
