Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2021


On Saturday it will be the Spring equinox, and so I'm sharing my Spring 2021 nail polish picks.

I have done this type of post before which you can see 2020 here2019 here2018 here2017 here2015 here and 2014 here.

You don't need these specific polishes, but these are ones that I want to reach for during Spring. I seem to have gone for all pastel polishes this year.

Rose Hip is a very light pink cream shade which is pink enough not to just look white.


Huckleberry is a light blue shade, lighter than a Tiffany blue and again blue enough to to look white.


Girls Best Friend is a light lilac cream polish good in two coats.


Alpine Snow has to be my favourite white polish, opaque in two coats which is great for a white.


Sheer Lemon is my final choice, a light yellow polish which despite its name isn't sheer.

Nails: Top 5 Winter Polishes 2020

As today is Yule, the Winter Solstice signalling the start of the official winter season in the Northern Hemisphere I thought now would be a good time to share my top five winter polishes. I have done similar blog posts in previous years 2019 (here), 2018 (here), 2017 (here) and 2016 (here).


Red Dazzle was the first polish I picked, would it be the festive season without a red? I thought a glitter would be really good, and I have had this for over five years so time to use it again!

Nightshade is an almost black cream polish, while red and sparkle is nice for this time of year a dark polish is nice for new years, particularly with a glitter gradient.

Barry M Nightshade

For a glitter gradient I like using Born to Sparkle, it is a rose gold hex glitter with small standard glitter in a clear base.

And because it is nice to have something that isn't as in your face this season, French Rose, I think this would be a nice nude pink polish on someone with a darker skin tone than me but on me this is a dark enough polish that doesn't come off as nude. You could also use Born to Sparkle on top of this.

Finally Let Your Love Shine is a beautiful glass flecked deeper red polish, this one is more traditionally festive than the Red Dazzle above. I haven't worn this polish nearly enough!

Topic Tuesday: Least Favourite Colour and Why Buy?

Today's question is how many of your least favourite colour do you own and why do you buy them?

This was a toss up between yellow and pink, but I would wear some pinks as is so I have to say yellow is my least favourite polish colour.

Barry M - Lemon Sorbet // W7 - Sheer Lemon // China Glaze - Werk It Honey! // Barry M - Banana Split // Color Club - Almost Famous // Barry M - Mustard // Barry M - Butterscotch

I have seven yellow polishes, and I have bought them because I do use them. The lighter ones are nice for spring accents, or reverse stamping and the darker two are nice for autumn type nail art designs.
