Topic Tuesday: Summer to Autumn Transition Polishes

Polishes which aren't quite 'summer' and also aren't quite 'autumn' for me would be deeper pinks such as Barry M Rhubarb and French Rose.

 

   

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Pink Polishes

Pink is not one of my favourite colours, however I have chosen my top three from my collection. All three are darker colours.

Barry M - Rhubarb | Nails Inc - Piccadilly Circle | Essie - Angora Cardi

  

Nails: Pink Tartan

With Autumn officially just around the corner I was inspired to do some autumnal nails. These are pink tartan / plaid ones;

Berry Base Polish | Barry M - Rhubarb

Light Pink Stamping Polish | Barry M - Pink Lemonade

Purple Accent Polish | MoYou - Grey Skies

Stamping Plate | Beauty Big Bang 05

Clear XL Jelly Stamper

Liner Nail Art Brush

  

Nail Polish Battle 2018: Purple

Ten new purple polishes this past year!

Born Pretty Store - Tender // Nails Inc - Shake That Tail // Barry M - Rhubarb // A England - The Most Happy // Avon - Purplelicious // Nails Inc - Hot To Trot // Nails Inc - Rainbow Hooves // OPI - Wanna Wrap? // OPI - Black Cherry Chutney // OPI - Holidazed Over You

First was the task of picking my top three;

Barry M - Rhubarb is a beautiful berry shade, a warm toned purple, the brush is flat, wide and rounded at cuticle which is my preferred brush type.

Avon - Purplelicious is a cool toned purple, exactly what you would want from a purple shade.

The winner however is Nails Inc - Rainbow Hooves, a dark purple glitter shade. Something which is really nice for the winter months.

  

Barry M - Autumn 2018 - Gelly Polishes

As soon as I saw Barry M had released some new gelly polishes I knew I had to get them.

All of them have a slight autumnal feel to them and they are unique within the entire gelly range. I have compared each of them to similar ones in their individual posts.

Spearmint // Ginger

 

Rhubarb // Nutmeg
 

Swatch: Barry M - Rhubarb (A/W 18 Gelly)

Colour | Deep Berry, Wine

Finish | Cream

Opacity| Two Coats

Brush Type | Flat, Wide, Rounded Cuticle

How Much | 10ml

Does Rhubarb dupe any other Barry M Gellys? No, this is a unique colour to the gelly range, however it is similar to Barry M's Slip Stream and very similar to Berry Cosmo.
