NOTD: Barry M Greenberry


I finally got the nail polish I've been wanting for months and I'm OBSESSED! It's ridiculously pretty and perfect for the spring/summer season. The shade is called 'Greenberry' and is a part of the amazing Barry M's 'Gelly Hi-Shine' collection. It is indeed shiny, opaque, non-streaky and lasts long on my nails. Who else is totally in love with this shade?

You can check out the reviews and swatches of my other Barry M Gellys here: Grapefruit, Prickly Pear & Blueberry

NOTD: Barry M Grapefruit

Another Barry M Gelly has joined my nail polish family! I keep seeing amazing shades and since I am really impressed with the gellys' formula and wear, I keep buying them. The latest one I got is 'Grapefruit'. The colour is very pretty and eye-catching. It's one of those colours that everybody notice when you have it on your nails. In the dark, it's a bit too neon for my liking, but in the daylight, it looks perfect for spring and summer. I'm not going to ramble on about the consistency and wear and stuff since it's pretty much identical to the other two gelly nail polishes I own, but if you want to find out more, you can read my reviews here (Prickly Pear) & here (Blueberry). 

P.S. I really want another Barry M Gelly polish - Green Berry. It looks so perfect! It was already sold out on asos when I was ordering this one, so I couldn't get it. :(

P.P.S. As I've just mentioned, I bought this nail polish on asos.com. A few months ago people were saying that nail polishes can't be delivered from the UK to other countries anymore, but I haven't experienced any problems on this site. 

NOTD: Confettis Top Coat


L'Oreal Confettis Top Coat had been on my wishlist for ages, and just when I finally reconcilled myself to the nail polish not being avaliable in my country, I spotted it at a tiny drugstore next to my uni! I almost screamed with happiness when I saw it! It's true. You can ask my friend who was with me. I'm sure this top coat will be my faithful companion for the next few months. It looks so cute with pastels! This time, I put it on top of Barry M's Prickly Pear. You can see a detailed review of  the 'Prickly Pear' nail polish here

P.S. Who else managed to pick up this gorgeous top coat?

NOTD: Blueberry & Polka.com

I have no idea how this has happened, but it's been almost a month since I published my last NOTD post. I always forget to take photos of my manis or can't take them because it's already dark outside, but today, I finally remembered to snap a few shots during the day.


Today's mani is a combination of two nail polishes. The base nail polish is Barry M's 'Blueberry' that I got in London. Just like the 'Prickly Pear', this one also belongs to their Gelly collection. In terms of consistency, application and wear, it is pretty much identical to the Prickly Pear, on which I've done a full review here

The second nail polish that I've used on my ring finger is OPI's 'Polka.com' from the Euro Centrale collection. I got it yesterday after having it on my wishlist since the minute it came out. I wasn't really planning on getting yet another nail polish, but I just couldn't resist it! I don't have much to say about it other than it's glittery and gorgeous. All nail polishes with chunky glitters kind of seem the same to me... :D

NOTD: Prickly Pear

Today I'm here to show you my first Barry M nail polish. When I was in London, the only nail polishes on my mind were the Essie ones, but when I saw the Barry M stand, I couldn't resist getting a couple of their gellys as well. Prickly Pear is the first shade that caught my attention. I have to admit, I do have a soft spot for pastel nail polishes. Especially for the turqoise and lilac ones. 
I already know that Prickly Pear will be my go-to spring shade. Apart from the colour being totally gorgeous, it is also very glossy or gel-like, just like the bottle says. There is definitely no need to apply a top coat to make them look shinier, but I still use it for the sake of proloning the wear and making the polish dry quicker. To get the Prickly Pear opaque, I applied two coats. The application was great and not streaky at all, which doesn't often happen with pastel nail polishes, so I'm very impressed. The only thing I don't like is the wand. I prefer them big (no sexual connotation intended), but the Barry M ones are unfortunately quite tiny.
