Barry M Marshmallow Confetti - Imagination In Colour

Barry M Marshmallow Confetti

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Barry M Summer 2013 press release, Barry M will be bringing out 5 new Confetti Nail Effects Nail Paints in Marshmallow, Liquorice, Dolly Mixture, Bubblegum and Sour Apple šŸ™‚ these will be released instore onĀ June 5th in Superdrug, andĀ June 12th in Boots. Today I am showing you Marshmallow, the prettiest soft pink bar glitter.

I did initially think, sigh, more Nails Inc Feather Effects (none of which particularly drew me in, with the possible exception of Cornwall), but at least these will be more affordable… I take back my previous thoughts! I love these so much, and I really really didn’t think I would! I do have to say that they look a million times better layered over a base colour rather than over the bare nail.

Marshmallow is made up of baby pink pearlescent bar glitter (and possibly white too, I can’t quite decide!). I love the overall effect, and somehow I feel like ‘confetti’ is a better suited title to this effect than ‘feathers’, although I have to give credit to Nails Inc for creating the baseline for this effect. I love the combinations I showed above, the baby pink pops against the grey and looks almost white against the black. I’m really happy with this polish as a topcoat.

Application:

Marshmallow applied easily – I thought I’d have to dab the glitter on in the arrangement I wanted it but it actually dispersed pretty evenly over the nail. It dries quickly, and it dries to a slightly matte finish, and slightly rough to the touch,Ā so I’d recommend using a topcoat for added shine and smoothness of finish. The only slight problem with application for me was that some of the pieces of glitter ended up hanging off the edge of my nails but this was easily fixed using a nail file or a tiny pair of nail scissors.

Overall I am a lot happier with this look than I thought I would be, so that’s always good! I feel like this effect is best appreciated in person, because in photos the effect is very much in highlight, where in person it merely adds to the overall appearance of your manicure. I was very pleasantly surprised by Marshmallow.

I also really love the packaging, it’s so cute and pretty, I kind of wish all Barry M Nail Paints had white and holographic lids on!

Barry M Confetti Effects will be sold at Ā£3.99 each, staggeringly cheap (imho) compared with Nails Inc’s Feathers Effect polishes, and a cheap way to try out a new nail trend without breaking the bank.

What do you think of Marshmallow? What colour combinations would you be most excited to try?! šŸ™‚ Remember these are not out tilĀ June 5th inĀ Superdrug,Ā andĀ June 12th in Boots, so keep them on your wishlist!
