Swatch: Barry M - Crushed (Rose Tinted Gelly)

Barry M Rose Tinted Gelly polishes aren't tinted, they are fully opaque in two coats. Crushed doesn't have any dupes in the Gelly polishes. I don't have any dupes from other brands for this shade either.

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.

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.
