Barry M Nail Paints

Hello! I thought I would create a post on my little collection of Barry M Nail Paints. I'm a avid lover of there polishes. I don't find a single problem with them. They are available in a varied selection of colours - which I still want to purchase & own!

Here is a some photos of the ones I currently own, including two new ones I've recently acquired, which I have yet to try!

From left to right:

Silver Foil Effects 319, Purple Nail Effects 322, Mushroom 310, Hologram 244, White Nail Effects 316, Black Nail Effects 311, Strawberry 309 & Lime Green 137.

I have to say, I absolutely love all of these shades! One of my favourite shades is the Hologram one. This is a perfect polish to top a dark coloured base. I usually tend to apply 2 - 3 coats, depending on how strong I want to pigments of the polish to show. As this is more of a top coat polish, you don't get a lot of the hologram particles on to the applicator brush, which requires you to apply several coats, if you wish to have as many holograms as possible! Unfortunately, this means you have also applied lots of coats, requiring longer drying time. However, if you have time to kill on a night time, whilst watching your favourite movie/soap, this won't be a problem - at least I don't see it, as the outcome is so beautiful & eye catching! I also like to use this if I have a light/sheer/neutral polish on all of my fingers & just applying this to my ring fingers, gives a great subtle effect, perfect for just an everyday look!

Another colour I adore, especially in summer, is the Lime Green. Its a bright, vivid, mushy pea green colour. I love to pair this with the White Crackle Nail Effects polish, as it creates the most unusual look, that will sure get you noticed! I can't wait for the summer to come round, so I can apply this look!

The Mushroom shade is a most used polish I use, as its so neutral, & is suitable for night or day, everyday or occasion. If I'm undecided on which polish I want to go for, this one is what I'd usually grab. It also goes with a lot of outfits, needing you not to co-ordinate!

Finally, the two shades on the left are the one's I recently received for Christmas. I'm really excited to try out both of these! The first one is the Silver Foil Effects, which gives the effect of a foil nail - pretty self explanatory! As soon as I heard about this, I instantly logged into YouTube to see what it was all about. I have yet to see what the polish looks like on a nail in person, as I don't think you'd get the true colour & foil effect on camera. I'll soon see, though!

Lastly is the purple Crackle Effects Polish. I love the crackle polishes, whether people think they were so last season or not - I wear what I personally like! I own the Black & White version, but a purple is my favourite colour, I was excited to unwrap this one! Its a gorgeous deep purple, that I think would look lovely under a lighter similar colour. I shall no doubt be making a post about what I think about these!

All of these polishes have a lovely application, requiring between 1-2 coats, depending on the polish itself. I usually apply 2, although if I'm feeling lazy, I'll be satisfied with the 1! They have quite good longevity, too. As I regularly do general housework, I find that these polishes withstand the abuse, they probably face! I tend to paint my nails once a week, as I find that its as long as I need.

I really cannot recommend these enough. They come in fabulous shades, perfect for any time.

I'm contemplating next purchasing the Croc Effects Polish, which you can purchase here, along with several other of their shades!

I hope you all liked this post. I really enjoyed writing this & reminiscing over the colours. I'm now desperate to paint my nails! If you have any recommendations or polishes you think I'd love, please write them in the comments. I love hearing feedback!

If you have any questions, queries, etc, please do not hesitate to ask!

Thank you!
