My Barry M nail paint collection

Hi Beauts.

One of the best brands on the hight street, in my opinion, is Barry M. The first thing I ever bought from their range was a dazzle dust, which lead me to an addiction and my collection kept growing and growing.

A while later I decided to try out their nail paint, which then lead to another addiction (I guess I have a pretty addictive personality....in a good way!) and that addiction has left me with 20 of their nail paints.

I always find swatches sway the decision making for me when I'm shopping online, so I thought I'd share the shades I currently have and hope that it can help out some of you too.

Barry M nail paints are probably the best on the market. They're pigmented (2 coats and you're good to go), smooth to apply, dry quite quickly and last for almost a week.

What are your favourite shades?

Sinful colors

Hi Beauts.

I'm Stacey, and I'm a bit of a nail polish addict. I seriously think I own way too many nail polishes if I'm honest but I just can't seem to stop buying them! Does anyone else have this problem too?

The fact that I've discovered a new brand doesn't help either, welcome to my life Sinful colors. I stumbled across this brand whilst in Boots a couple of months ago and I've now decided that I need each and every shade. I'm even juggling with the idea of binning the majority of my collection and starting again with Sinful Colors! 

Let's start with the colour selection shall we? There are currently 70 shades in the collection if I'm not mistaken, how's that for choice?! How about finishes? They have Matte, glitter, pearl, shimmer and cream. Not many brands have more than one or two finishes so I think it's great to find a highstreet brand that stocks a variety. 

I found the application to be smooth and the lighter shade wasn't streaky at all (unlike lighter shades from other brands) I only needed two coats and I was good to go. The best thing about these polishes, other than the fact they're £1.99each, is their staying power. I'm so forgetful/lazy when it comes to painting my nails and I never apply a base or topcoat. I figured I'd get maybe a day or two's wear out of these nail polishes without a base and topcoat but I was so very wrong. These polishes lasted 5 days before any chips started to appear! How's that for long wearing?!

This brand has fast become my favourite, and I shall definitely be purchasing so many more shades. But for now, here's the ones that I currently own: 

The Lowdown

Price - £1.99

Product - 15ml

Shades - 70

Available from - Boots

Smooth application

Only two coats needed

Top coat not necessary

Lasts at least 5 days before chipping

Have you tried this brand yet? What's your favourite shade?

Feeling blue - NOTD and EOTD

Hi Beauts.

Whilst camping at the weekend, here's the post on my lifestyle blog, I bought a new nail polish and eyeliner from Boyes for £1.00 each. The nail polish is in the shade 'Sea Siren' and the eyeliner is 'Turquoise' I thought why not have matching eyes and nails? Here's what I came up with :) 

I love both the Liner and polish! They're gorgeous shades and perfect for summer, I thought is add a bit of sparkle on my ring finger so used Sinful Colors 'nail junkie'

Would you match your make up with your nails? 

I'd love for you to follow my lifestyle blog :)
