Barry M Silk Collection - Blossom and Meadow
I've been really looking forward to the Barry M Silk collection, their new range for this spring, as they look so pretty on blogs! They aren't being released until I think the end of this week, but I happened to find these in a large Tesco extra at the weekend! I didn't even know that Tesco stocked Barry M, so I was a bit excited. I managed to get four, and here are two of them today.
This is Barry M Meadow (the green one) and Blossom (the pink one). Both are three thin coats, no topcoat. They're really pretty, delicate pastels with some shimmer, that dry to a lovely matte sheen that reminds me of the finish on Mini Eggs!
Aren't they pretty?
The formula is quite thin, and can drag a bit if you apply this slowly. I found that thin coats worked best, with lots of time to dry in between.
They remind me of satin cushions (the sweets)

Haha, yes, they do look like those sweeties :)
DeleteWell that was a long and non functioning attempt at a url.

Lol! I know the sweets you mean though. Yay!!
DeleteI got Heather (the lilac one!) also from Tesco at the weekend but looking at these pictures I wish I'd chosen Blossom instead! x
ReplyDeleteI got Heather too, and I think they're all pretty!
DeleteOoo Blossom is such a pretty pink! Lovely xx
ReplyDeleteIt really is, isn't it?
DeleteBlossom is such a lovely colour, and the finish of the polishes really suit meadow!
ReplyDeleteBlossom's lovely, isn't it? I have the blue and lilac too, coming up soon hopefully!

ReplyDeleteThanks! It was thanks to you mentioning Tesco actually that I thought to look there, so thank you. I may have to try your gradients next.
DeleteOmg that is such a nice pink, I have vowed to night by polish till March... shoot me now!
