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,

What about some glamorous nail inspiration for New Years' Eve party? This is a very simple design that you can do just using the nail polish brushes straight out of bottle, no need for nail art brushes. I've used three All That Jazz polishes - All Eyes On Me, Be Fierce and Fit For Royals. All Eyes On Me and Be Fierce are colours from the autumn Spotlight Affair collection (reviewed here) and Fit For Royals is from the winter Indulge Me collection which I'll review later.

I've paired the design up with some gold bracelets and it was the perfect fit!

Even though it's a very simple design I've prepared a picture tutorial for you:

So what do you think? I really like this colour combination and how easy & fast it is! I didn't need a tape or a special brush, all was done just with the nail polishes. Simplez! :)

All That Jazz polishes are available at Nail Harmony UK website for £7 (you'll need to register first to shop).

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
