Barry M - Orchid, George - Ruby Slippers.

Hello!

I had no idea that it has been that long since I last posted! Sorry about that! I have bought and wrapped all my christmas presents though! :)

Today I'd like to show you a new(ish) polish from Barry M. It was released back in September for A/W and was a new addition to their 'Silk' range.






















This colour is right up my alley! A gorgeous Purple, that dries to a 'Silk' (semi-matte) finish, which does help to see if the polish is dry!
You can see a little from my photos that the purple has a slight shimmer to it.
It would show better if you added a top coat. I didn't as I wanted to show you how they look in their natural state.
I painted two coats for my pictures and the dry time was average.
I found that this chipped a little on my thumbs and index fingers quicker than my other nails, but I did expect a little chipping as you aren't meant to wear a top coat.
I think this is a lovely jewel tone for the christmas period, along with the other two colours that Barry M released with this polish.






















On my accent nail I added George (Asda) Ruby Slippers. It's a red glitter topper of all different shaped hexes. It is unavailable now as it was limited edition but it's not exactly unique, I'm sure you'll find something extremely similar to this from another brand.
I thought application was fine, I used one coat and a quick dry top coat.
I really like this colour combination, it makes a change for me as I always pair purple with blue or pink.
I hope you are all well and I'll speak to you soon!
Take care xx
