barry m gelly hi-shine in lychee


I am loving nude nails at the moment! I'm normally a pastel pink kind of girl but neutral, sandy tones with a slick of glitter top-coat is my manicure of choice as of late. I've heard some rave reviews about the Barry M Gelly range so when I saw that Boots had a 'buy 2 Barry M Nail Paints get £1 off' offer on Saturday my inner bargain hunter took over. I regained some control + stopped myself at two but I love so many of the colours in the range so can see myself buying a lot more!

The shade I was immediately drawn to is Lychee, a gorgeous light, sandy, greige nude. This finish has an amazing shine + it dries so quick which is a major plus for me! I'm wearing three coats in the image above, mainly out of habit as it was perfectly opaque after two. Though I don't really keep the same nail polish on for too long; this lasted a night out + a day in London with no chips, impressive! I'm totally in love with these polishes; I already bought Prickly Pear but can also see me treating myself to some of the other brights seeing as we're Spring seems to be just around the corner, finally!

notw; peach, lime + 3D flowers

BARRY M peach melba nail paint £2.99; OPI nicki minaj did it on 'em £12.95 (part of mini set); EBAY 3D flower £0.99.

My inner magpie took over this weekend resulting in bright, slightly tacky nails! I gotta say I'm slightly besotted with them! This Barry M shade is quickly becoming one of my favourites; it looks amazing with a tan + is basically the perfect peach colour. When I bought the OPI Nicki Minaj mini set I didn't think I'd really get much wear out of this lime shade but these two colours work really well together. I think I'm going to try them in an aztec style next with a bit of white/gold thrown in. The flower was a bit of an impulse thing but I do think it's super pretty albeit rather tacky! Summery nails seeing as the sun has decided to make an appearance(:
