Valentine's Manicure

Hi guys!

Sorry I haven't been posting for a while, life is keeping me busy to say the least. I hope you are all well!

I am currently typing this as I wait for my manicure to dry completely. Looking at the finished product I am pretty pleased with it and I think it is the perfect combo for a Valentine's Day manicure. Hope you like it too!

 I used Barry M's Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Pomegranate as the base and Barry M's Pink Sapphire Glitter on top. 

This was the first time I've ever used Barry M's answer to gel nail polish and I've got to say, I am very impressed! The consistency of it is cream-like and thicker than their usual nail polishes. It dries almost instantly which is such a bonus as I am normally the kind of girl who paints her nails and has to wait hours for them to dry. Glad that I can finally say goodbye to those days!

I am definitely going to pick up some more! They retail for £3.99 so it is £1 more than their normal nail paints but they are so worth it! They are currently on offer both in Boots and in Superdrug.

Have you tried out Barry M's Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints yet?

Nail of the Day | Barry M's Raspberry

Hi everyone,

So if you know me at all then you would know that I absolutely love nail polish! I find that even a simple manicure makes a woman look so much more sophisticated and polished.

For the past few days I have been sporting a nail polish which I think is the perfect colour for winter. It is by Barry M and the shade is in Raspberry.

I have been a fan of Barry M nail polishes for years and it is definitely my go-to brand when it comes to nail polishes, thanks to the affordable price tag at £2.99 (even less with my 10% student discount at Superdrug!) and the huge colour selection.

I absolutely love the formulation of Barry M nail polishes as it is in my eyes perfection: not too runny yet not too thick. I find it very easy to apply and the colour pay off is pretty much the same as what you see in the bottle.

Would you wear this colour? Have you tried out Barry M nail polishes?
