New Barry M Magnetic Effects - Swatches and Review

Hello! Today I have 3 of the brand new Barry M Magnetic polishes to show you - Neptune Sea, Cosmic Glow and Moon Dust.

Silver and Blue Tips

I messed my blog up again (only for the 400th time, no big deal) I think I fixed everything, but if you see something that looks wrong or something that doesn't work please let me know. Sigh!

Today I did a simple tip design using Barry M polishes.

To do this I just used some striping tape, with Barry M Cyan Blue and Silver Foil Effects. I sealed it with NYC top coat. My nails are nude except for the top coat, please excuse the slight staining!

I love doing tips and I'm going to start doing this style more often!

Sinful Colors Winterberry - Swatches

I have completely fallen off the nail art train recently. I'm not feeling inspired at all. Hopefully it won't last because I like posting nail art much more than swatches. I'm determined to sit down later and do something! Where do you turn for inspiration when you have a block?

This is Winterberry from Sinful Colors. Research tells me it's from the Destination America collection. It's a grape/grey metallic, packed with shimmer.

The formula was a bit of a pain, it was quite thick and could have used some thinner. I used three coats. I loved it though and it's unique in my stash so far. 

H&M Bella's Choice - Swatches

Finally found another H&M that sells cosmetics, and this one had a much better selection. I really like H&M polishes, the formula is generally good (though not as good as Barry M, which at £2.99 are the same price) and I love the square bottles.

This is called Bella's Choice, a bright summery turquoise creme. It's a pretty good dupe of China Glaze For Audrey at first glance, but this leans more towards green than FA does, I think.

Formula wasn't as good as some other H&M polishes. It was a bit thick and could have done with thinning. I used two thick coats and top coat.

I really need something to thin out some of my older polishes that have become gloopy, any recommendations?

Pink and Silver Gradient

Just a quick post today.

I did this gradient using 2 coats of Barry M Shocking Pink, then using a make-up sponge (foundation wedge, whatever you want to call them!) I sponged on 2 layers of Barry M Silver Foil Effects (you can see Sammy's tutorial for that here) I finished with NYC topcoat.

Voilà! Simple but effective.
