Topic Tuesday: Brand Firsts

Before I began blogging 10 years ago and dipped a fingertip in the world of colour I rotated between Barry M Black, Barry M Navy, Barry M Vivid Purple and La Femme Black. I rotated those polishes for 10 plus years before expanding my collection.

  

Swatch: Barry M - Blushed (Rose Tinted Gelly)

Barry M Rose Tinted Gelly polishes aren't tinted, they are fully opaque in two coats. There aren't any dupes for other Gelly polishes, there are a couple of similar ones so I have compared the two below the swatch.

Colour | Pink

Finish | Cream

Opacity | Two Coats

Brush Type | Flat, Wide, Rounded Cuticle

How Much | 10ml

Collection | Rose Tinted Gelly Autumn 2020

  

Blushed is similar to but not identical to Leighton Denny Rosey Posey, Nails Inc Make an Understatement and OPI Lucky Lavender.

  

Stamping Plate: Nicole Diary - 097

This rectangle plate came with blue protective wrap, the back is branded.

097 has 16 full nail images and five smaller ones. All of the images I have used have stamped across well, the only thing I would note is the images are very slim and I struggle to make them cover my thumb nail.

Nails: Diabetes Awareness Negative Space Foliage

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and so every Friday to raise awareness I am doing blue nails.

Type one diabetes can be diagnosed at any age, are you aware of the four T's?

The four T's stand for Toilet, Thirsty, Tired and Thinner.

Topic Tuesday: Almost Black Polishes

These types of polishes are ones I like, Barry M did a range of Gelly polishes a while ago which were almost black.

Black Cherry // Black Currant // Black Grape // Black Pistachio
