Ive Nailed It!

Sorry for the corny post title. As promised in a previous post and on twitter, ive applied my Barry M polish in Peach Melba and have taken photos to show you the result and give a quick review on it.


Like I mentioned before, I seriously do not remember buying this and I dont think ive ever applied it. The picture shows that the end result is very close to the colour in the bottle which is a positive point. The picture also looks as though application is really good.

I do have some negative points to make about this polish. I havent used a Barry M polish in a long time so im not sure if its their formula per se or if I just happened to pick up a dud one but this was crap to apply. This took 3 coats and in all honesty could have had a 4th before it was truly opaque. With three coats its a little streaky but theres so much polish on my nail that it took ages to apply and where ive knocked my nails when tacky there are smudges and scrapes (I only applied it at 11 am!). Another thing with this along with the streaks is that it was a bit stringy and kept getting all over my finger tips. Which goes some way to explaining the mess my fingers are in.

I love the colour and as always the price is fairly reasonable. My main problem with this was the application. If it was easier to apply then I would be completely happy. Maybe ill buy another summery colour and see how I get on with that!
