TOP FIVE FAVOURITE BARRY M NAIL POLISHES

Hello Everyone! In my February beauty favourites i mentioned how i have been obsessing over this nail polish by Barry M in the shade Ballerina, it's the most beautiful pastel pink shade. I also mentioned how their polishes have always been a favourite of mine. I just love how they have such a wide range of shades/finishes and not to mention how inexpensive they are. So i thought why not share with you my top five favourite polishes by Barry M (excluding Ballerina)...


So here we have my chosen top five favourites. They are a mixture between the Gelly Hi-Shine finish and the Matte finish polishes, as they are just my favourite finishes they tend to last a lot longer on my nails than the original finish polishes do.


Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in the shade Sugar Apple - 
This particular shade is probably my number one favourite of them all, if i am being completely honest. Sugar Apple is the most perfect in-between pastel and bright at the same time polish. The application of this polish is super easy and opaque, it looks like the picture above with only two coats. Sometimes with a pastel shade you find you need to apply three coats but there is no need when it comes to this one, it's a must have in your collection if you don't already have it.


Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in the shade Prickly Pear -
Unlike the Sugar Apple polish, this particular one definitely needs three coats as it is the most sheer of all of the Gelly Hi-Shine collection, but once you have built it up it looks beautiful. If i am feeling a pastel lilac this is the particular shade i always go for out of all of the other brands. I must say this polish is super comparable to Parma Violet by Topshop, which i also own but the Barry M formula is so much better in my opinion.  


Gelly Hi-Shine in the shade Papaya -
To me whenever i wear this polish it just screams spring/summer to me, it is literally that perfect muted orange shade and would look even more stunning whilst rocking a tan. I must say with this particular polish you have to be quick whilst applying it, as it is the most gel like out of all of the ones i have tried and it is thicker in consistency but it does only need two coats. 


Matte Nail Paint in the shade Copacabana -
I must say a little disclaimer before i start, i love the matte finish shades but i always apply a top coat with a shine finish as that is just what i prefer. This shade is from a summer matte collection, which i only own three shades from but they are all equally as stunning but i just prefer this one and another one coming next that little bit more than the third which is Waikiki. Copacabana is a super bright red with a hint of coral, which gives it that perfect summer vibe to it. I must say the matte finish polishes are so easy to apply and dry a lot quicker than some others do.


Matte Nail Paint in the shade Rhossili -
Last of all we have the other matte shade i always talking about above. Rhossili is the most perfect magenta shade and also apparently named after a place in the UK, which is also cool. All the shades in this collection are named after different places mainly beached areas, to add that summer vibe. Like Copacabana this is also super easy to apply and drys quickly without no fuss, it is also like nothing else i have in my collection which is what makes it a favourite.
