Hello lovelies,

It will be a little longer post today because I want to show you swatches of Barry M Vanilla AND a simple reversed french manicure I did with it. This polish was also sent to me for review from Brandnation.

Barry M Vanilla - greige matte creme. This shade is sooo interesting! It's like pastel mauve mixed with grey and even better - it's matte finish. The formula was good to apply but thin coats were a bit patchy so I applied thicker coats. Two coats were enough for full coverage. This whole matte range needs a bit longer to dry and harden beause you can't use topcoat.

And as always, I've done sime nail art with the polish. I combined two Barry M Matte shades Vanilla and Crush in a simple reversed french manicure.

The beautiful watercolour invitation in the pictures is to the Professional Beauty 2014 exhibition in London and I so can't wait to go again!

Barry M polishes are available at every Superdrug and Boots stores and at the official Barry M website.

Hello lovelies,

Today's manicure incorporates three beautiful Darling Diva polishes from the Queen inspired collection (reviewed here). All three are duochromes with holographic particles in them so it's given that they look stunning. I have used a striping tape to help me get straight lines, white acrylic paint and Seche Vite topcoat to seal the design.

The shades used are: Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Bohemian Rhapsody and Killer Queen.*

Darling Diva is available at Etsy Store, at DD's web page and Llarowe. For updates visit Darling Diva Polish Facebook page.
