Barry M Nail Polish Collection...

Hey Honeypies!! :D

I have found that Barry M is getting to be a little bit of a cult brand over here in the UK, especially considering they don't stock them in the US. I love them because they are inexpensive, generally a good formulation, chip resistant and they have a CRAZY colour selection. Always a little pick me up at the end of a long day:)

I could say I have jumped on the Nail Paint band wagon, however, i have been accumulating these nail polishes since i was around 11. Maybe i have just continued the trend? Who knows? :)

I haven't managed to include all of the shades as i recently bought 2 new polishes, although they should be found in my holiday post!!!

Its not a very large collection, (i even have some of the oldschool taller bottles) but its one I always return to time after time...

Clockwise from Left:66,47,161,291,295(Turquoise),290,137,134x2:P,136,150,262 and 296(Coral)

The ones i recently bought are 308(Berry Ice Cream) and 304(Mint Green)

I must say, i am very glad they have started to name them, as writing all those numbers down wasn't very interesting lol:)

If you would like to see any swatches let me know and I'll do a NOTD post.
Also if you would like to see the rest of my collection I can do that to :D

Have you bought any Barry M Nail Paints recently?
Have you bought any Nail Polish in general?

Love

  2. I've been buying Barry M for years and it's definitely only the past 2 years or so that it's become so popular. Though I think that Models Own nail polishes are giving them a run for their money at the moment!

  3. Likewise, I am yet to buy a Models Own Nail Polish. Do you think they're worth it? Could you recommend any colours?
    The only time i have ever thought about buying one, the display in boots was an absolute mess!! :(
    I think its awful when people don't respect the displays. Especially if they haven't even bought anything!!!

  4. I haven't purchased a bottle of Barry M nail paint, because they don't sell them in Canada, but I did recently buy a bottle of grey nail polish from Rimmel last week and I love it! I have been looking for grey polish but haven't been able to find any until recently.

  5. I really think they should branch out to the US and Canada. So many people would buy them :)
    What shade of grey did you buy?
    I love Rimell Nail Polishes too, especially the 60 second ones.
