Going Green, yet again - Barry M Emerald Green

Welcome back my dear fiends!

Of course, I had to pick a green polish for today, just couldn't help it *grin*
I am again packing my suitcase and won't be back till Sunday. Maybe I should start playing the lottery and win big, that way I could stay home more lol
A little update regarding the Mood polishes: the moodies and I are just not meant to be. They won't work with my chronic icicle hands. Bummer, but can't help it.
But back to green...
Love the Barry M formula! And love this wonderful, deep, rich emerald green shade. Perfect!

I am seriously in Love with those Barry m polishes, I need to get more!
For sunday, I have 4 polishes from Sephora's Spring LE, so stay tuned for that!
Have a great weekend and see you sunday!

Feelin' Springy? - Barry M Spring Green

Hello my dear readers!

Winter has come back to Germany with all it's unpleasant snow and ice. I am so sick of it! If it doesn't stop snowing soon, I will have to grow all my tulips in the livingroom...
Still, I do try to keep my hopes up for spring and dress up my nails accordingly, so dive into some fresh spring green with me :-)


Barry M Spring Green





This is a gorgeous pastel light green with a tiny hint of blue to it. It is pretty similar to Barry M Mint Green, but it has more oooooommmph to it, so if Mint Green is a tad bit to pale for you, Spring green will be your new favorite!



The formula of these is perfect and smooth, no streaking at all. two coats, perfectly opaque and dries in a snap! Sounds like a winner!





Just in case you guys wonder how similar Barry M's Mint Green and Spring Green are, I included a comparison swatch:

Left: Mint Green
Right: Spring Green




That's it for today, tomorrow I might just have some pretties from my P2 Haul for you, so stay tuned!

Fight the snow with some fresh mint green - Barry M Mint Green and my little haul from Manchester

Hello my very dear fiends!

What a week! I was terribly busy this week with work and last friday my nephew had his confirmation, so this weekend was packed with family get togethers. Now I am finally back home and I can do what I enjoy most...paint my nails hehehe :-)
I have had a severe Lemming for MAC's Peppermint Patty, since it is such a beautiful spring mint color, but the catch is, it was a LE from last spring, so all you can do is jump into the piranha pool which is called ebay. So I have been on the lookout for a dupe and Barry M's Mint Green comes really close, it's not a spot on dupe, but I would say at least a 95% one. Good enough for me :-)
Of course, when I am on the lookout for one polish, others are bound to follow, so I grabbed a few other beauties from Barry M, Gosh and Sue Moxley. I will go ahead and swatch those lovelies for you in my next posts. Promised!


My little Haul from Manchester:



3 new Barry M's



#14 Famous Polish by Sue Moxley



and 5 new beautiful Gosh lovelies *swoon*





And here we will take a closer look at Barry M Mint Green:



isn't this just about perfect for spring?



I think this is pretty darn close to MAC's Peppermint Patty, at least what I can tell from pics on the net



The polish is definitely on the runny side and the brush is a bit small, but I could manage perfectly well. The first coat looked streaky as hell, but after applying a thick second coat, everything got opaque and even. Weird.



I also noticed that the polish dried REALLY quick, we are talking drying time like the OPI Suedes, other matt polishes or CG Holo's. I don't know if it is just this one, I will check with the other two Barry M's...





So that's it for today...boy I got a lot to catch up to, posting swatches of my haul, I also got two new maybelline colorama glitters I wanted to show you guys and a new Konad plate...Darn, I need and extra day of the week, preferably between saturday and sunday *winkwink*
See you back tomorrow!
