Hey guys
Yesterday I went shopping and found some lovely new nail polishes on offer by Barry M. The "Textured Nail Effect" polishes have started taking off recently so I thought I would give it a try and with my local Superdrug offering them at 2 for £6 it was hard to resist.
I picked up 2 bottles, one pale blue called "Atlantic Road" (left) and a nude/peach pink called "Kingsland Road" (Right).
Following all good nail polish practise I applied a base coat first using Barry M "Basecoat, Topcoat & Nail Hardener. All in one"(centre). You can pick this up in Superdrug for £2.99 and I really recommend it as an all in one nail polish that does what it says it does.
I then applied 3 thin coats of each polish. This was because the first coat when on really thin and was see through , the next coat made the colour more prominent but the effect was lacking so a third coat did the trick for me.
The textured effect is really hard to photograph as it is more like a sandpaper/gritty end effect once dried. The best photo I could manage on my camera is this one:
As you can see I went for the ring finger to be a different colour. The polishes themselves were very true to colour once applied and so far there have been no chips , even after 2 hours of ukulele strumming.
I really like the effect and colours especially for spring but, I am more of a bold than pastel colours person so I hope more are to be released soon in brighter colours.
This effect is also available in 2 other pastel colours : a pastel yellow ("Station Road") and a sea green ("Ridley Road").
Overall I'm quite happy with my purchase but I don't know how often I will make use of the polishes. Maybe some funky nail art will occur in the future ?
I'll be back soon with my shoes of the week.
