Barry M Pink Silver Glitter

Barry M have brought out yet another set of lovely polishes – this time they are all glitters! The five are: Pink Silver Glitter, Silver Multi Glitter, Aqua Glitter, Magenta Glitter (Superdrug exclusive) and Gold Glitter.

Barry M Pink Silver Glitter rose gold salmon pink glitter foil orly rage maxfactor angel nails dupe flattering pale pink glitter close up Pink Silver Glitter is a lovely mixture of (predominantly) a rose-gold-silvery microglitter, and a smaller amount of salmon pink microglitter. I love the mix, it’s not hugely noticeable in person unless you are looking up close but it gives a lovely overall effect. The formula and glitter size is the same as that of Barry M Silver Multi Glitter – almost foil-esque in appearance but a little more 3D and sparkly. Pink Silver Glitter reminded me of both Max Factor Angel Nails and Orly Rage – two beautiful rose gold foils, but the glitter and the two-toned quality of Pink Silver Glitter is what makes it unique. I think it’s ever so flattering and is one of those shades that will look amazing on any skin tone. It’s flattering enough to make it all-age-appropriate and sparkly enough to make it eye-catching enough for special occasions. I love it!

Application:

Pink Silver Glitter was too dense to be used as a topcoat, yet required 3 coats for opacity (as shown in the photos). It applies really smoothly as I think there is a high ratio of clear polish to glitter – however, it dries to the usual gritty glitter finish so you may want a topcoat. The polish dries relatively quickly. It does take a fair bit of scrubbing for removal but there are various ways in which you can make glitter removal easier.

Personally I really love this – it gives rose gold a sparkly silvery edge, and is pretty unique in the UK polish market. What do you think?

Barry M Pink Silver Glitter is available in Boots, Superdrug and on superdrug.com, for £2.99.

2True Crystal Shade 6

Last Winter, 2True brought out four new Crystal polishes. The Crystal polish range are essentially a set of glassfleck shimmer polishes, all very pretty. 2True have now brought out two more Crystal polishes, in shades 5 and 6. These are more summery – and Shade 6 has an exceptional duochrome!

A MAC Bad Fairy/Accessorize Pink Spice dupe… no. They have the same concept – pink with orange duochrome, but Bad Fairy and Pink Spice share a much deeper cranberry pink tone, while Shade 6 is a lovely peachy pink colour with a hot orange duochrome. There’s even a little purple duochrome in there too, which makes this polish unique. I LOVE IT.

Application:

The photos all show 3 coats. The polish appears very sheer on the first coat but don’t be put off – it builds very quickly. The polish did bubble a little, but I promise promise this wasn’t visible in person, I literally had to run my fingers over my nail surface to find any. I do find the Crystal brushes to be a little on the thick side, making a thin application a little challenging but for this polish it didn’t matter. The polish dried to a fairly high shine, but you may want a topcoat for extra shiny-ness and added longevity. Shade 6 dried relatively quickly, too.

It’s a really interesting colour, the salmony-peachy tone makes it really unique, and the duochrome effect saves it from being a ‘Grandma shade’. What do you think of this? Would you like me to do a side-by-side comparison with Accessorize Pink Spice?

2True cosmetics are sold in Superdrug – everything in their range is £1.99, or you can buy 3 items for £4.99.

Barry M Magenta Glitter

Barry M have released 5 new glitter polishes; Silver Multi Glitter, Aqua Glitter, Gold Glitter, Pink Silver Glitter and Magenta Glitter. Magenta Glitter is Superdrug exclusive, while the others you can find in both Superdrug and Boots.

Magenta Glitter has the same two sizes of glitter as Aqua Glitter, but seems to have less of the larger hexagonal glitter – the polish needs one more coat than Aqua Glitter to be totally opaque.

Barry M Silver Multi Glitter

Here is another of the five new Barry M glitters (Magenta, Aqua, Gold, Pink Silver and Silver Multi Glitter). This one is really interesting and very unique, for me anyway.

Barry M Silver Multi Glitter multicolored multicoloured pink blue yellow silver microglitter dense foil nail paint close up Silver Multi Glitter is essentially a multitude of different coloured microglitter crammed into a clear base. I can see blue, pink, yellow, silver… possibly more! What’s really interesting is that despite the multicoloured nature of the polish, it looks like a dull silver glitter from afar; you can only really see the different colours when you look closely. I feel like this is the new Barry M Silver Cascade (rumored to be a dupe of OPI Mad As A Hatter), which is now discontinued – Silver Cascade had larger glitter with more red, green and blue, while Silver Multi Glitter is more along the pastel theme.

Application:

The photos all show 3 coats. The polish was almost foil-esque in that it was too dense at one coat to be used as a topcoat, but still required 3 coats for full opacity. The polish dried quickly, as with most glitters, and dried to the usual grainy texture. I feel that you would need 1-2 coats of topcoat to smooth it out, depending on what topcoat you are using. Removal wasn’t as laborious as with most glitters – it still took some soaking and scrubbing but not quite as much as usual.

What do you think of this one? I really wish the multicoloured aspect of this glitter was more visible in person, as in the close-up, it’s gorgeous when you really look hard, but the trouble is that you have to look really hard to be able to see it. For me it’s worth it because I tend to stare at my nails all day long anyway!

Silver Multi Glitter is available in Boots at £2.99. I haven’t personally seen it in Superdrug yet but it may well be in by the time you read this!
