BARRY M UNDER THE SEA NAIL PAINT COLLECTION - SWATCHES & REVIEW

If you are a mermaid at heart (lets be real, we all secretly kind of are), the NEW Barry M Under the Sea Nail Paint collection is for you! 

These stunning nail paints, which have an amazing colour-shifting, two-tone formula, will have you glistening from every angle! Each shade has a unique combination of colour and shimmer to keep your nail game strong and on-trend this Spring / Summer! 

I have the 4 Barry M Under The Sea Nail Paints, that were released in Australia, to review for you today :)



ANGELFISH

Angelfish is a pearlescent ballet slipper nude-pink nail paint, with a stunning shimmery blue sheen scattered throughout it. 
So SO pretty!

The formula is lovely. 
The polish sheer, but easy to apply, effortlessly glides onto the nail, and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats.


PINKTAIL

Pinktail is a pearlescent coral pink nail paint, with a stunning shimmery gold sheen scattered throughout it.
This one makes me so happy! Beautiful!

The formula is lovely. 
The polish sheer, but easy to apply, effortlessly glides onto the nail, and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats.


JELLYFISH

Jellyfish is a pearlescent lavender purple nail paint, with a stunning shimmery blue sheen scattered throughout it.
OMG! I am OBSESSED!

The formula is lovely. 
The polish sheer, but easy to apply, effortlessly glides onto the nail, and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats.


BUTTERFLYFISH

Butterflyfish is a pearlescent blue nail paint, with a stunning shimmery pink sheen scattered throughout it.
Love love LOVE!

The formula is lovely. 
The polish sheer, but easy to apply, effortlessly glides onto the nail, and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats.

*  *  * 

Barry M have smashed it out of the park yet again with this collection. 
I am so in LOVE with these nail paints!
They are filled with amazing and unique shimmery / colour-shifting goodness that glistens and shifts in every light - love love LOVE! So pretty and on-trend!

The formulas of these nail paints are so lovely - they are a little bit sheer when applied but still apply effortlessly onto the nail, build up nice and easily opaque, self-level really well, and dry super quickly! 

These nail paints dry down with brush streaks evident, so I highly recommend using the three-stroke-method of application to limit the appearance / amount of brush streaks. The amazing wide brush these nail paints have makes the "three-stroke-method" of application effortless; which is awesome!

It's impossible for me to pick a favourite from this collection - (I am OBSESSED with all of them!!) - they're all seriously that good! Plus, the printed bottle caps are adorable! 
Big thumbs up from me! Definitely recommend!

Barry M have smashed it out of the park, yet again, with these Nail Paints!
I have featured the Molten Metal Nail Paint range on here before* and can genuinely say it is by far my favourite range by Barry M. 
The formulas of these nail paints are practically perfect - they apply effortlessly onto the nail, are easily opaque and dry super quickly! They are filled with amazing shimmery (and holographic) goodness that sparkles in every light - so pretty and on-trend! 
I love me some shiny metallic nails so it is no surprise that I am totally obsessed with these!

I also really like the amazing wide brush these nail paints have that make the "three-stroke-method" of application effortless. There are also no brush strokes evident when they dry down which is awesome, especially for metallic nail polish. 

I have been trying to pick my favourites to recommend but it's just way too hard to choose. I am obsessed with all of them - they're all seriously that good! 
Definitely recommend trying them out! They are amazing!
So excited for more colours to be added to the Molten Metal Nail Paint range!

Barry M have smashed it out of the park yet again with this collection. 
I love me some metallic nails so it is no surprise that I am totally obsessed with these.

Barry M have these marketed as "chrome-effect" nail paints, but I would have to say they have more of a "foil-effect" than chrome. They are all filled with shimmery goodness that gives off a gorgeous bright glowing effect that sparkles in every light - I love love love it! So pretty!

I also really like the new amazing wide brush these nail paints have that make the "three-stroke-method" of application effortless. There are also no brush strokes evident when they dry down which is awesome.

I have been trying to pick my favourites to recommend but it's just too hard to choose. I'm obsessed with all of them - they're seriously that good! 

So excited that the Molten Metal Nail Paints are finally available here in Australia and cannot wait for more shades to be released! Definitely recommend trying them out!

For full benefit, Barry M suggest not wearing a base coat underneath these nail paints so that the oil properties and healthy nutrients can infuse, hydrate and protect the nail - great concept. 

I have worn these without base coat and can honestly say that the general appearance of my nail beds has improved. Also, I quite enjoy the way they feel on my nails - it feels "healthy"
...is that weird??


Barry M have smashed it out of the park with this collection. 

Formula wise they're all literally flawless! 
I am obsessed with the colour selection, and the quick-dry time is incredible.

I seriously cannot find any faults with this line of Nail Paints!
It's a big A+ from me Barry M!

I have been trying to pick my favourites to recommend but it's just too hard to choose. I'm obsessed with all of them - they're seriously that good!

BARRY M GELLY HI-SHINE NAIL PAINT - SWATCHES & REVIEW

After dominating the UK nail market, Barry M has finally landed here in Australia. Great news for us Aussie Nail Polish Addicts!

Today I have four different Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints to share with you :)



DRAGON FRUIT

Dragon Fruit is a pretty bright bubblegum pink nail paint.

The formula of this polish is really good. It's pigmented and creamy; and it applies onto the nail nice and easy. It isn't streaky, and it self-levels really well.

It's a little patchy on some nails but builds up to full opacity in two - three thin easy coats.


GREEN BERRY

Green Berry is an amazing neon aqua-mint green nail paint.

The formula of this polish is really good. It's very pigmented and creamy; and it applies onto the nail nice and easy. It isn't streaky or patchy, and it self-levels really well.

It builds up to full opacity in two - three thin easy coats.


BLACKBERRY

Blackberry is a beautiful deep royal navy blue nail paint.

The formula of this polish is perfect. It's very pigmented and creamy; and it applies onto the nail nice and easy. It isn't streaky or patchy, and it self-levels really well.

It builds up to full opacity in one easy coat!

I suggest being extremely careful when applying this, as it stained my cuticles and skin around my nails blue due to the strong pigment.


BLOOD ORANGE

Blood Orange is an intense bright "blood" red nail paint.

The formula of this polish is really good. It's very pigmented and creamy; and it applies onto the nail nice and easy. It isn't streaky or patchy, and it self-levels really well.

It builds up to full opacity in one - two easy coats.

I suggest being extremely careful when applying this, as it stained my cuticles and skin around my nails red due to the strong pigment.

* * * 

Overall I really quite like these Gelly nail paints.
I love how bright and pigmented these polishes are, and how super glossy and gel-like they look without Top Coat. 

I did find, however, that they all have a slightly thicker formula, which means they take a little bit longer to dry, so bare that in mind when deciding to wear one - a quick-dry Top Coat would be ideal when wearing one of these.


I'm so excited that Barry M is finally available here in Australia and can't wait to try out some more awesome colours and nail finishes!
