Hello lovelies,

Sorry for taking blogging break during the weekend, I needed to catch up on swatching and relax a bit. The good news is I got a lot done, the bad news is I didn't manage to write any new posts so I'm now behind in writing...the struggles of a nail blogger :D

Today I want to share a swatch of Barry M Gelly in Pomegranate which is gorgeous raspberry red colour with glossy finish. I don't think I have reviewed Barry M Gelly before but I do like them very much and I plan to buy some more.

Believe it or not, this is just one coat of Pomegranate and topcoat. It chipped after a day and a half so next time I think I'll apply two coats but my point was - it is well pigmented and one coat was nicely opaque :) The formula was easy to work with and it dried very glossy. I know that it is not necessary because we're all using topcoat anyway but it is nice to see glossy finish. The pictures with flowers were taken outside with my phone, the rest is in the lightbox. The lightbox pictures are more colour-accurate.

 

Barry M polishes are available at Superdrug, Boots and barrym.com. I'm listing drugstores first because very often they have offers like 3 for 2 ;) As for international sales, I'm not sure Barry M is available outside UK but feel free to correct me.

 

Have a nice day everyone! Lucie x

 

Hello lovelies,

 

I've done one more nail art design with Illamasqua Shattered Stars polishes from the Glamore collection so this is a great time to publish it since I'm still running the Illamasqua GIVEAWAY! The giveaway ends on Sunday so you have few last days to enter.

 

I opted for a simple alternate stripe pattern using Illamasqua Marquise and Fire Rose and black acrylic paint.

I couln't help myself and put on a coat of topcoat as well so the picture above shows how different the whole manicure looks with topcoat :) I really like both versions though..

 

Anyways, don't forget to enter the Illamasqua giveaway and if you'd like to purchase these polishes, you can do so here.

 

Have a lovely day! x
