Barry M Crystal Glaze

Hey all 🙂 I’ve got a super super pretty flakie to show you! I’ve always loved flakies but lately I’ve started to feel like all the supposedly ‘new’ flakies are just reproductions of previous ones (for example, Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, GOSH Rainbow, Color Club Snow Flakes, Nubar 2010, Essie Shine of the Times… etc.). Even the Zoya flakies weren’t altogether original, and the Nails Inc ones certainly weren’t. So I’m happy to report that Crystal Glaze is probably the most original one I’ve yet seen 🙂 with the possible exception of the (pricey and hard-to-get) Nfu-Ohs :).

As always, flakies are best used as a topper, especially over darker colours as the colours of the flakes will really pop against the dark background. I used 2 coats of the new Barry M Berry Cosmo as my ‘underwear’ :).

Barry M Blue Grape Gelly

Hey everyone, sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on here for a little while, work is just so busy and somehow I have no time for anything other than eating sleeping and recovering from all the loooong shifts! I really need to get the work/life balance back in check. Currently my Andy is in A+E with chest pains and I can’t get there and I’m super worried so I’m writing this blog post to keep myself busy with something  l love.

Very soon Barry M will be releasing all 5 of their new Gelly Nail Paints – Blue Grape, Guava, Mango, Key Lime and Passion Fruit – on June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots. When the first images of Blue Grape came out I think everyone had it billed for a Nails Inc Baker Street dupe –  I don’t have Baker Street myself but from online swatches I think it’s a tad darker but every bit as bright and gorgeous, and obviously around a 3rd of the price at just £3.99. It’s beautiful, honestly one of my favourite blues ever and I’ve worn this about 3 times already which is saying quite a lot!!

Barry M Mango Gelly

It’s taken me a little while to get these swatches of the new Barry M Gelly Nail Paints up; unfortunately a bank holiday weekend at the pub means I’ve been working from 11am til around midnight most days since I received them which has left barely any time to eat and sleep let alone test out new polishes! But I’m on my day off now so I’m getting on top of it! 😛

Barry M will be releasing 5 new Gelly Nail Paints on June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots. The new shades are: Mango, Blue Grape, Key Lime, Passion Fruit and Guava. Today I have Mango to show you, a bright pumpkin orange shade. My favourite thing about this polish is that it’s the first true orange nail polish I own that is actually completely opaque… yes, really!

Barry M Liquorice Confetti

Yesterday I showed you the pretty Marshmallow Confetti Nail Effects from Barry M’s Summer releases, and today I have for you ‘Liquorice’ (my personal favourite so far…!). There are 5 new Confetti Nail Effects being released in total: Marshmallow, Liquorice, Dolly Mixture, Bubblegum and Sour Apple. Is anyone else loving the cute sweetie names? 🙂 Perhaps they should have been called ‘Confectionary Nail Effects’ ;).

As I mentioned yesterday, these are essentially the same as Nails Inc Feathers, but in different colours and WAY more affordable at £3.99 each. They will be released instore on June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots.

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 🙂 these will be released instore on June 5th in Superdrug, and 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.
