Barry M - Web Effect (239) , Teal (223), Gelly Pomegranate (235)

I noticed this new nail polish in a local Superdrug today, i received it free after buying two other items from the Barry M counter (shown below). This offer also includes the Croc effect nail paints.

I'm not sure when it was released as there is no information online, but it is the first time i have seen it.





My nails are not in the best condition after recently removing acrylics but i will get a swatch up soon.

I bought two other nail paints which are the Teal which is a metallic blue green and Pomegranate from the new Gelly range which is a deep pink.

Recent NOTD's

A few of the polishes i have been wearing recently that all have similar consistencies (Please click on the words that are pink for links of where to buy items)

Models Own - Golden Peach
As the name suggests, this polish is a peach with golden shimmers and true to the colour in the bottle. This is how it looks with 2 coats but it could do with another or layered over a base colour as it is a sheer colour but dries quickly.





Gosh - Golden Dragon (not online at the moment but can be found in superdrug)
This polish is also true to colour, sheer and fast drying. Although it does appear more shimmery in the bottle. It is a deep bluey green with golden shimmers. 
I do not normally wear green polishes but i really enjoy wearing this one as it's so different and pretty.
The cap is a little soft making it awkward for some people to hold and the brush is shorter than most.


 


Barry M - Silvery Lilac
This is quite a new edition to Barry M, It is sheer and a blue toned shimmery silver lilac. It takes a few coats to get the colour of the bottle.  Would look better layered as a top coat.



My current go to top and base coats
OPI Nail Envy and Sally Hansen Mega Shine
They both dry quickly, the base coat does a good job of protecting the nail bed from darker colours and the top coat leaves a lovely shiny protective coat.


I was lucky enough to receive a new camera from my husband for our anniversary so hopefully the picture quality will be better. :)

New from Barry M - Chameleon Colour Change Nail Paint

Barry M have once again come out with another nail art type polish!
This time there are three colour changing paints which work by appling a clear topcoat.
The lid indicates which colour the topcoat will make the nail paint.

For some reason i haven't heard about these anywhere and they are not yet available online but are £3.99 in Superdrug and Boots.


There are a Chameleon pink, Chameleon lilac and Chameleon blue. I picked up lilac and pink as i didn't think much of the burgundy colour that the blue had.

The Chameleon Lilac is very silvery and turns a blue toned jelly purple.


The Chameleon Pink is salmon pink and also becomes a jelly purple.


I have only had a chance to test out the pink and went for a simple french tip, although i think a dotting tool or fine brush would give better results for nail art.



I was so excited to try this out so i didn't bother with a base coat which was a bad idea as it stained really badly.
I really liked the formula as it dried quickly and is a lovely colour even without the Chameleon effect.
