New Barry M - Lilac Foil Effect

Hi ya all

Well its Monday again! Boo!! Although the holidays are creeping closer. Today I have for you Barry M's most recent addition to their Foil Effects range - Lilac.

This is 3 coats of Lilac. Application was slightly streaky as with the other foils, although slightly better than the Silver and Gold Foil. I tried a little stamping for you using a random Bundle Monster plate over Me Me Me -Wild. The stamp didn't come out great because I'm poop at stamping, although it does show you how well Barry M's Lilac stamps (which isn't too bad).

I actually quite liked this combo, quite feminine looking considering how 'un-girly' my tastes usually are. Available exclusively from Superdrugs for £3.99 for a limited time only.  

Have you tried any of the Barry M Foils? Anyone yet found the Croc Effects?

Reptilian Nails - Nail Pop Kimono

Hello all

I made a trip to Westfields Stratford on Thursday for some Christmas shopping. While I was there I popped into Superdrugs where my intention was to pick up Barry M's new Lilac Foil Effects polish. I came across the new Look Beauty stand containing Nail Pop polish, a make-up range created by Look Magazine. One shade in the Nail Pop collection stood out by miles, Kimono as it looked kinda similar to Channel Peridot. I'm supposed to be on really limited Nail polish funds at the mo, but I had some money on my Superdrugs card which covered the cost. Yay! I thought I had a Channel dupe on my hands. How wrong was I....

Channel Peridot is painted on my middle finger with 2 coats. Kimono applied to the rest with also 2 coats. I hate to say it...Peridot pales in comparison! Did I actually just say that? I love Peridot, I lusted after it for months, but Kimono is well, WOW. It's a darker and more reptilian looking duochrome so if your an individual who prefers a subtle polish then maybe this isn't for you. Kimono shifts from dark green/light green/gold/brown/red. Application was perfect.

I also picked a couple of LA Colors from beauty base for 99p and bought the new Barry M Lilac foil effects (swatches soon) I did make a trip to Kiko but I had to tear myself away without making a purchase :-(

Price £5.00 and available from selected Superdrugs stores.
