Imagination In Colour UK Nail Polish Blog
Here is the second of five new Textured Effects from Barry M. The Royal Glitters Collection consists of: Princess, Countess, Majesty, Lady, and Duchess. This new collection is very similar in effect to OPI’s Liquid Sands and Zoya’s Pixie Dusts, which personally I much prefer to the first four Textured Effects Barry M released.
Today I am showing you Countess; a deep aubergine purple base filled with golden and rosy pink shimmers/glitters (I am never quite sure with the Textured Effects whether it’s shimmer or glitter!). Anyway, it’s super pretty, really vampy but with an attractive sparkle – it’s perfect for winter parties or a warm autumn outfit.
Countess is essentially a deep murky purple base filled with brown, pink and gold glitter. It dries to a matte finish, as with all the Liquid Sands/ Pixie Dusts etc. But it has a lovely sparkle to it, which I think is the appeal for me in all of these textured polishes. It’s definitely an autumn/winter colour, I can picture it on my fingers peeking out from my burgundy fingerless gloves, I’m super excited to wear this one :).
Application:
Easy peasy. 2 coats is shown in the photos above at total opacity. It’s really easy to work with (as you can probably see – the line by my cuticles are actually neat for once!) I found it to be smooth and not too thick, it glides on and doesn’t drag. No topcoat needed, unless you want rid of the texture.
I personally love this polish, I’m really getting into the textured polishes now and I can see so many other brands jumping on the bandwagon too. Exciting! What do you think of this polish? I feel like it’s a little Halloween-y too, might just have to wear it then!
Barry M Countess will cost just £3.99 (compared with Zoya’s and OPI’s hefty £10+ price tags) and is available in Boots and Superdrug now!
