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.

Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2018

Autumn is almost upon us and so thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes. I have done similar posts in 20172016, 20152014, and 2013.

Danglefoot Polish - Oh Plesiosaur // Sinful Colors - Courtney Orange // Barry M - Vintage Violet // A England - Briarwood // Nails Inc - Piccadilly Circus


Danglefoot Polish - Oh Plesiosaur, is a dark grey holographic polish which I have chosen as a final hurrah to summer. If we are lucky autumn will still have some sunlight for us and so making Plesiosaur show off it's beautiful holographic finish.


The second polish is Sinful Colors - Courtney Orange which is the only shimmer polish I have picked. It is quite a in your face type of orange but I think it works for this time of year as all the leaves begin to turn and change colour.


Thirdly is Barry M - Vintage Violet, a dusty lilac colour, something purple but more muted, verging on dark but not quite.


The forth pick is A England - Briarwood, which is a dark polish. Quite similar to autumnal leaves but holographic which is a different twist on a maroon shade.


The final polish I chose was Nails Inc - Piccadilly Circus. A warm berry shade which is a nice autumn way to wear a pink polish. It is a little bit deeper than it is showing in the photo below.

Stamping Plate: MoYou - Vintage Style 447*

Stamping-Plate-MoYou-Vintage-Style-447

MoYou 447 is one of the square shaped plates measuring at 5.5cm by 5.5cm. It comes packaged in a cardboard slip sleeve and with a protective blue coating which you peel off to reveal the images.

This plate has many images on it, a collage style, floral and foliage designs.

Trying to show how well the images stamp across is difficult on a plate with many images. However as you can see they do stamp across, some of the finer lines are more tricky to work with but they still do stamp across.

I like the word image and the heather image would get the most use from me.

Here are some nails I have done using this plate;

BM H11 is a Autumn / Fall themed plate.

This stamping plate is backed with branded backing, so it doesn't have sharp edges, each plate has six images on them. This particular plate has three full nail images and three smaller images.

Most of the images stamped across really well. The pumpkin and the corn were trickier to work with. Of them all I like the leaves image and have used it a few times.

Here are some sets of nails I have done using this plate:
