SUMMER BLUES

I don't know about you but I feel like we have had the last of our summer for this year. I can't complain as it has been a pretty decent summer compared to some we have had previously. This summer I have been really loving blue nail polishes. Whether this is from pastels, to dark and glittery blues. My top five are shown before. As you can see I still have an obession with Barry M and their Gelly Hi-Shine polishes. I'll link all the colour shades below.

I think my favourite shade of blue this season has to be the pastel shade and I have been particularly been going back to the Tanya Burr Exclusive nail polish in Little Duck which I also talk about HERE. I think it is the perfect colour and goes with a lot of outfits. I think it can almost be cased as a light mint colour too. I also really like 'Blueberry'. I prefer the Gelly Hi-Shine polishes better as I think they apply better and this is a really nice summery blue colour. For evenings and nights out I have been loving the darker blue shades like 'cobalt blue'. I think it's subtle and still summery. I also really like the glittery shades. Whether this is wearing over the top or on it's own. This is also another great shade to wear in the evenings. I think I have absolutely out done summer polishes this season and I am excited to see what I go for during the autumn and winter as it is getting colder.

RED BLACK

I can't stands not having my nails painted and it's hard coming to uni and not being able to bring my nail polish collection. I had to just bring some of my favourite colours. At the moment I have been wearing Barry M Nail Paint in the colour Red Black. I used to wear this colour all the time and I have only recently re-discovered it. Over the top I always wear the Sally Hensens Acrylic No Chip Top Coat which helps stop my nails from chipping.

What I really like about this shade is that you can build it up from being a cherry red shade with one coat to a dark deep red with a couple of coats. I love wearing deep reds in the winter and this is one of my favourite shades to wear at this time of year. I have always been a big fan of the colours in the Barry M collection but I haven't bought new one in absolutely ages. I really want to try out the new Classic Matte Nail collection such as the shade Nude Vanilla and Burgundy Crush. This shade above is the original formula but the only problem with it is that is takes forever to dry. I personally prefer the Barry M Gelly Shine Collection's formula as it applies better and dry quicker. I think it will be interesting so see what the Matte Collection is like. Has anyone tried that matte collection? How is it?

GETTING READY FOR SUMMER

Now we are in April, it is time that we should say goodbye to this pooey weather and get ready for spring and summer with some sunny weather! To get myself ready, I have been treating my nails to some of Barry M's  pastel colour range. These colours are so summery and pretty and will be perfect for the summer months to come (if we get any!) The shades are Berry Ice cream, Peach Melba and Blue Moon. My favourite is definitely Blue Moon. I love anything this colour and it is just gorgeous on your nails. I have been wearing it so much lately and it literally goes with anything I wear. Barry M have also just released a 'Textured' range with lots of different pastel colours available, which I will have to try! They are all on the website which you can see HERE. Have a lovely day!
