Barry M Spring Green Nail Paint

Barry M Spring Green, 2 coats.

Shown against Mint Green, read on and you’ll find out why! 🙂

Again, comparison.

I bought this colour late December 2010, but it is still everywhere. I’d been coveting a rich green like this for a while, and just couldn’t find one anywhere. However when I saw All Lacquered Up’s review of Barry M Spring Green I knew it was the one for me!

After searching for it on Google though I noticed that many of the photos appeared to look identical to Barry M’s Mint Green, and even on the Barry M website it looks identical to Mint Green, hence the bottle comparison above. I have had a few problems with Barry M’s labelling and online colour swatches being totally different to what they should be, but I’ll forgive them just this once.

Onto the colour. I think the reason why so many pictures looked similar to Mint Green was because this polish is truly truly impossible to capture on camera. Unless it’s just my camera. But seriously. This is a gorgeous bright green, in just the right tone. It kind of reminds me of Lego green, maybe a little lighter. (Hey… does anyone remember Duplo? I was the only one who played with it when I was young 🙁 ) I love love love this colour, it’s just what I was looking for – not neon but nearly as bright. It’s very vivid. I love it!

Consistency was quite watery, and this one dried quite quickly… the reason you can see all those sheet marks is because I got way too sleepy and just went to bed before it fully dried.

This colour is lovely and eye-catching, I would recommend it to anyone! Works well with pale skin, but I think this would look gorgeous with a darker skin tone.

Hope you’re all having a lovely week, I got my results back today, mixed feelings about them.
