Hello!
I have recently purchase three new
nail varnishes from Barry M. I got "Sequin Effects" (white),
"Confetti" (blue) and "Textured" (light/mint green). I got
them all for £3.99 each. Not a bad price!
Sequin Effects in white
|
The "sequin effects"
polish comes in three different colours - white, pink and black. I went for the
white as I thought the sequins would stand out more. Once applied, I love the
way it looks, however, I'm not a huge fan of the texture as it's quite bumpy and
gritty. Also, it's not the easiest to apply as you have to get the sequins
equally laid out on the nail (you may have to do more than one
layer) and can become quite messy! However, I love the colours of the
sequins - red, blue, green, gold and silver - and doesn't seem to chip very
easily (provided you use a top coat pf clear nail varnish).
Textured in light green

The textured nail varnish (correct name: Ridley Road
textured nail paint) comes in light/mint green, blue, pink and yellow.
This polish is my personal favourite out of the three. This is because I adore
the colour and the texture! Once dried, it doesn't feel too bumpy. It's very
easy to apply and is quite quick to dry. (Ha
that rhymes).
It doesn't easily
chip either, and it's not much effort to remove, although it is tougher than
the average colour nail paint.
Confetti in
blue/bubblegum
|
The confetti range of Barry M nail
varnishes come in five different colours - blue (bubblegum), black (liquorice),
pink (marshmellow), green (sour apple) and yellow (daily mixture). It's
application isn't the easiest as you may have to do two or three coats in order
to get enough confetti "bits" on the nail and for them to be evenly
distributed. However, once dried, I quite like the texture! It's not overly
bumpy, although it does feel a bit grainy. Allow yourself plenty of time to
remove this polish though - it does take quite a while! Another criticism would
have to be that it does chip quite easily so I would recommend using a top coat
of clear nail varnish to give it more strength.
I'm also just going to add - Rimmel
London "Stay Matte" powder! Again, just £3.99! I've been using this
for a couple of years now and absolutely love it! In my opinion I think it's
one of the best powders out there. It doesn't leave a "dusty" look on
your skin and covers blemishes and imperfections easily. I loooooove it!
