Hello lovelies,

Barry M is releasing a brand new nail polish line called Speedy Quick Dry and today I'll show you two of the new colours - Kiss Me Quick and Eat My Dust.

There are 9 pastel shades released in total and this collection also features new flat and rounded brush. The big feature of this line is a speed-drying formula paired up with racing-themed caps and names.

Both Barry M Kiss Me Quick (baby pink) and Eat My Dust (pale blue) had the same formula. They applied nicely but I had to work fast. The formula really is fast-drying so 3-4 brush strokes is more than enough otherwise the polish can get patchy. I needed three coats for full coverage which was a bit disappointing for me. I finished off with a coat of the new Plumpy topcoat. I actually really like the Plumpy topcoat - it goes on smoothly and gives glossy gel-like finish. It dried fast but it takes a while to harden properly so you'll still need to let your nails dry for a bit. Massive plus for me with this topcoat is that it didn't smear stamping!

This new flat and rounded brush really made it easy for me to get a round line alongside my cuticles so I imagine many of you might appreciate it.

Both Speedy Quick Dry line and Plumpy Topcoat will be available in Superdrug from 11th February and in Boots from 18th February. Speedy Quick Dry polishes will be priced at £3.99 each and the Plumpy Topcoat will cost £2.99 per bottle.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I recon it's time for another nail art manicure with tutorial ;) I wanted something abstract so I created flower-like patterns made out of lines. My inspiration was a print I once seen on Etsy but it's been so long I couldn't find it again.

I have used Zoya Cole as a base colour and then acrylic paints for the design and dots. All sealed with Seche Vite topcoat.

And here is the promised tutorial. I have done it with a different brush as I couldn't find the one I originally did the manicure with so the lines are a bit thicker. But it will still show you how I've created this design :)

Few lines and dots and how cool it looks, huh? I really liked this design and that's why I additionally created a tutorial. It could be done with nail art pen or polish but the acrylic paint is just much easier to work with.

Have a lovely day and let me know what you think ;) Lucie x
