Barry M Haul

Hands down, Barry M has to be my favourite and most trusted brand ever. Having used these for years I have built up a little collection thanks to the 3 for 2 offers!
I recently picked up these colours which I thought would be perfect for summer but with this weather being as moody as it is I don't think there actually is a summer! 

Blueberry 

Considering this was a Gelly nail paint, It had the exact same texture and consistency as all of the other polishes. Without flash the colour looks more of a lilac than blue, I found this to take the longest to dry out the lot but It's worth waiting for pretty summery nails and I can see myself wearing this a lot.

Mint Green 

I'm never brave enough to wear super light colours on my nails but this is such a fun bright colour for any occasion. This colour would look great with a tan an some glitter to add that extra touch.

Strawberry 

This is probably my least favourite out the bunch, the colour is really pretty but I found it to take hours to dry and even when I thought it was dry it was tacky. The colour is quite subtle and would look beautiful for holidays.

Pink Flamingo

My ultimate favourite colour ever, this has to be my most favourite in my whole nail polish collection. I have purchased this plenty of times over the years and its so lovely for all year round! defiantly worth a purchase

Spring Nails

Since the weather is getting (a little) better, I thought I would share some of my favourite spring nail polishes. I usually go through phases of dark's to lights and recently I have been loving pastel light colours. I am loving Revlon's blue lagoon and natural collections antique coral, These are so perfect for spring and great with a tan. Barry M's strawberry nail paint is super cute but may take a few coats. All these brands and colours are long lasting which is a bonus. I am loving miss sporty quick dry nails, these are perfect for summer as they basically dry within a minute and hardly chip. The lilac shade is beautiful an suits any skin tone.

Has anybody tried these nail polishes? What is your favourite colour to wear this spring?

Barry M - Gelly Hi-shine Nail Paint Review

So recently the Barry M Gelly nails have been ever so popular and I have been dying to try them!
I went into Superdrug and had a look so see what Barry m goodies they had on offer and their Gelly Paints just stood out, looking pretty and shiny.
I decided to try the colour 'Lychee', I never choose nude polishes so I was excited to try this beautiful colour.

 So firstly, I love the packaging, Barry M always get their nail polish packaging right. The colour looks a lot lighter in real life than on these photos, A beautiful light nude tan colour, perfect for summer and even great with a tan.
Although I love the look of this polish, I'm not so keen on the consistency. I find every light colour I use, it is impossible to get the right coat and finish on my nails, does anybody else find this? I used 2 coats to get this consistency and to me it still seems slightly streaky.
The finish is rather shiny compared to your average polish but nothing to rave about, Maybe it is just this colour so I'm desperate to try others. It also took forever to dry, I would say I waited at least 30 minutes before I could actually use my hands without them smudging. This is probably okay for some but I am a fast dry type of girl, I can be very impatient and cannot be bothered waiting around for them to dry!

Overall I did love this product, the colour is beautiful and one of the best nude colours I have seen for a high street brand. The only fault that it is highly time consuming and does not give you the perfect finish which really disappointed me, but I would try this again and maybe next time I might begin to love it even more.

Have you tried any of these nail paints? What are your thoughts? I would love to know.
