As you can see I have quite a large collection of nail polish! I have tried various different brands and my current favourites are Barry M. They're so affordable and have such a wide range of colours, and different nail polish effects. These glitter nail effects below are just gorgeous, and work so well over the top of other colours. I really like painting my nails one colour then painting one random one (usually my ring finger) with a glitter nail effect. The ones in the image below from L-R are Amethyst Glitter, Rose Quartz Glitter, Yellow Topaz and Pink Sapphire Glitter. The only thing is with these polishes is that they are SOO hard to get off!! But I think they're so pretty its worth it :)
But my personal highlight of Barry M are the fairly new range of 'Gelly Hi-Shine' polishes. They are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!! One coat gives a completely opaque layer that is soo glossy and shiny that they look like gel nails. I am in love with them and will definietly be adding more of these to my collection. The colours are nothing like I've already got, I've never seen such gorgeous nail colours. Lychee is my newest one (the nude colour on the left) and it's a perfect nude colour which I think will go perfectly with one of the glitter effect polishes, but I am yet to try this! Blueberry, is the pale blue in the middle. I already had a pale blue Barry M nail paint (306, also called blueberry) from the normal range and was a little skeptical as to whether this would be much different but WOW!! I much prefer the finish of the Gelly Hi-Shines. And finally the one on the right is called Watermelon. I first drawn to this colour as I really have nothing like it already, infact I don't think I have any greens, or dark greens anyway. It's a lovely colour and I highly recommend it. i can't wait to add some more of the gorgeous colours to my collection :) anyone else tried these and have any specific shade recommendations?
This image below is just a quick picture to show you what the Gelly Hi-Shine looks like on the nails, this one is obviously blueberry and my ring finger has Yellow Topaz over the top, so you can see how the glitter nail paints look on the nail :)
Thank you for reading and hope this was helpful :) let me know of any of YOUR favourite Barry M shades!
Wow that is quite a collection! I am a little envious ;)
