Barry M Nail Art Pen Silver over Darling Diva Catherine - Nail art, review and swatches

*The nail polish and stud wheel were provided for a review

Hello lovelies,

This post will be a bit longer and picture heavy as it basically features three products. Yay for effectiveness :D

This particular manicure features Barry M Nail Art Pen in Silver which I've tested for the first time. The silver colour nicely opaque and flows well. It was actually very easy to work with and I hope I'll see some more shades of the nail art pens - but don't forget the need for excellent pigmentation, Barry M!

The Black and White pens are not fully opaque and it bothered me quite a bit as I needed to draw twice. But this one was better. I've done just an 'abstract cobweb' design over Darling Diva Catherine. The ring finger has been decorated with square metal studs from Born Pretty Store Stud wheel.

I've used the metal square studs from this particular Stud wheel and there will be many more manicures coming as there is a wide range of studs. You can choose from black, silver and gold finishes and from different shapes and sizes. I like the small studs the best as my nails are not wide and the big ones tend to stick out.

The second half of this post is dedicated to the Darling Diva Catherine because this polish deserves it!

Catherine - red-based holographic base with blue iridescent glitter.This polish is absolutely stunning and you need it if you like purples! it has a very good formula that applies easily and two coats were enough for good coverage. I needed topcoat to smooth out the surface but I would use the topcoat anyway. My pictures don't do it justice, it's much prettier in real life.

Picture taken in shade. The iridescent glitter really stands out in the shade, this polish is just pretty everywhere you go.

Thank you Margo. Yes, the tip looks quite thick but it can make nice and thin lines. you can do thick ones as well if you want :) I hope they will improve the formula and will make the black and white more opaque cos these are seriously good and easy to use!

The polish itself is gorgous and I looks sooo beautiful with the nail art pen on it. I want a pen like this! :D

The pen tip looks so thick but I like how it came out nice and thin. Sad to hear the black and white ones weren't as opaque, cuz I had my eye on those. The polish, however, is so gorgeous.! Love your pics!

That Darling Diva is lovely! And I like the way you used the Barry M pen - I've not tried the silver one yet.
