NOTD: Barry M

 Barry M's Mushroom is pretty much my favourite everyday nail polish. I work as a journalist for a graphic design agency and have to meet clients face-to-face so sometimes a more subtle nail polish is needed.

I'm a huge fan of Barry M nail paints. They're really pigmented and last for ages. I've heard a few people say they take forever to dry but I have a secret weapon...


This Elegant Touch spray dries your nails in 60 seconds - and it actually works. I hate sitting around waiting for them to dry & always chip them so this is ideal for people like me! You might not be able to go taking off skinny jeans but they're perfectly dry in about 2 mins!

Christmas NOTD: Fancy Foils

Anyone that knows me will know I own more nail polishes to rival Superdrug. I literally can't walk past Barry M without treating myself to a varnish or six. So when I popped into my local Bodycare just before Christmas I couldn't resit trying out these Elegant Touch nail foils.
Having seen expensive packets in most drug stores that barely contain enough stickers for both hands, this purse friendly alternative - £1.99 for 3 sets - was a must buy! With the help of my mommy, a glass of Rose and E.T. on the tv - am I the only person TERRIFIED of him!? - we managed to jazz up my nails.

I'd half expected these to be really fiddly and difficult to apply but they were really quick and easy. After selecting the right size for each finger, you just peel them off, stick them on and voila! These lasted about 5 days before they chipped off too which was great considering how cheap they were.
Here's the finished article...


  
...what do you think? Have you ever tried nail stickers? Any I should try?
