Barry M Nail Paint in Mint Green



Barry M Nail Paints are up there with my top polishes. The price and the colours lure me in every time and even though I already have an excessively large nail polish collection I had a mishap and bought four more bottles a few weeks ago. Damn you Barry...

With the promise of Spring just around the corner I'm attracted to lighter pastel shades at the moment and couldn't resist Mint Green. The colour reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream, my favourite.

I applied a base but it took four coats to get the above effect. The consistency is very 'wishy washy' and after three coats still looked quite streaky so it took a fourth. My other Barry M's generally only take two. Once you get there though the colour is very pretty and I even received a few compliments on it!

All in all a lovely colour but make sure you have the time to apply this one.

Have you tired Mint Green? What are your favourite pastels?

  2. I dislike barry m nail polishes because of the amount of coats required! I prefer rimmel as they only need 1 or 2 coats for a similar price.
