Well, when I picked up this Barry M Silk Polish in Forest, I knew it was blog worthy, as it is bloody beautiful. It applies super smoothly, as you would expect from any Barry M polish and just two thin coats is enough to give a saturated coverage. It dries to a beautiful semi-matte finish, almost like a candy shell, it is just lovely and feels so nice on the nails.
Forest is ther prefect shade for the festive party season with it's deep green metallic shade and subtle glitter flecks that sparkle when they catch the light. I wore the polish like this for a few days, but then the polish started to chip on the ends after washing a mountain of dishes. But I wasn't ready to say goodbye to forest. So I covered the chips with some silver from Maybelline Color Show and a top coat and the result was dazzling.
My success with Forest has resulted in me lusting over many gorgeous winter shade from Barry M, I am such a nail varnish addict...

I hope you liked my first Manicure Monday, there will be plenty more to come as I bought myself a Ciate advent calender from TK Maxx for the bargain prince of £19.99 - it feels like December will never get here. It appears to have sold out online, but if you are lucky you might be able to nab one in store.
Any wintery nail shades you would reccommend?

Forest is absolutely stunning Gems! No wonder you wanted to blog about it, I'm so glad you did. Perfect to add some much needed dazzle and spark to the otherwise gunmetal autumnal months. I love the name too, Forest is such a simplistic yet impactful word that really makes the imagination run wild with imagery. And the silver you used afterwards brought on such a shimmery contrast. Divine! Barry M are such masters when it comes to polish inspo, I love all the ones you have featured on your Winter Wonderful Wish-list! Here's hoping Santa packs them into his sleigh for you ;) Silvery Lilac is so eye-catching, has to be my favourite <3
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for more Manicure Monday's; the talent and expertise you have with all things manicure, nail art and polish worthy is beyond incredible. :)
