Barry M Red Wine

I’m back! I’m still not really sure what’s right for me and what’s not, but I loved this polish so much I decided I had to share it with you guys. You know I love my Barry M’s… I managed to find a discontinued Barry M (with no name) in a charity shop the other day, which spurned me on to buy 3 more discontinued shades, along with the new ‘Cappuccino’ and ‘Nude’ – whoops! I don’t know what it is about Barry M’s – maybe the bottle shape, maybe the colour range, the price, the quality… so many reasons. I’ve become a bit of a hoarder of Barry M nail paints, I think I’m only missing a handful from my collection!

Barry M Red Wine is a gorgeously glossy blue-toned red jelly (what a mouthful!). It puts me in mind of lollipops. This lovely vampy shade is pretty much the exact colour of blood. Somehow I love that… but then I’ve always loved the rich redness of blood. I love the jelly finish – that beautiful squishy glossy coating of red looks blooming marvellous on the nail! I feel like jellies are few and far between on the UK high street. What’s great about Red Wine is that it’s not so jellified that it shows the free-edge however many coats you layer up – all you need is two!

Application:

The photos all show 2 coats. To be honest, most of my nails were opaque at 1 coat, which is pretty awesome for a jelly finish. The polish dried quickly and dried to an incredibly high shine – you won’t need a topcoat unless you want this to last more than the standard 3 or so days (for Barry M’s).

What do you think? I don’t often opt for a red on my nails. I don’t know why because I love red nails. I suppose I feel they can be a bit cliché – I always wore red when I was young. But they look so elegant and classy. I love them.

I’ve never actually seen Red Wine in shops – mine was a present from my mum bought from the Barry M website. It costs £2.99 and you can get it from the Barry M website, eBay and Amazon for pretty decent prices.
