Barry M Trio of Awesomeness!

I was super excited to try out some of the new Barry M polishes I received in yesterday's Nail Mail

Here is what I came up with...

I started out with one coat of Silver Foil. Yes, this is officially a one coater! As hard as it was for me to only apply one coat, this polish was flawless and covered so well. There are slight brush marks, but that is typical with a foil finish. This may be my "go-to" silver when it comes to stamping!






I then added one coat of Once Upon a Time, which is a purple and silver holographic bar glitter. This one is SO gorgeous in the bottle! Bar glitter can have a mind of its own, but I did my best to try and apply it evenly and spread out.






Then OF COURSE I had to try out Purple Rain! I just LOVE the crackle effect of Barry M polishes. They are the best, I have yet to be disappointed with them. I decided to take photos before and after adding top coat. Here it is matte. If you look closely you can see pink and blue shimmer within the purple!





Now here it is with top coat! The way the light was reflecting off of the silver and the holographic bar glitter was a bit much for my camera LOL. This combo looks way better in person! I am loving it!





Doesn't this just look FUN?! WOOHOO party time! LOL


And here are some bonus shots of the final look with all three bottles used...



So, what do you think of my Barry M Trio of Awesomeness?


Barry M Silver Foil retails for £3.99, Once Upon a Time retails for £2.99, and Purple Rain retails for £3.99. They can be purchased at barrym.com or if you live in the UK you can purchase them at retail stores like Boots and Superdrug.

Gah! I'm getting a mystery swap package of Barry M in the mail soon and this post is really making me hope one of the foils is in it.

I love that this became a total pile-on -- and wound up looking way better than I would've thought with all the chunky glitter and crackling going on!

MissDoll said...

This silver is great on its own but when you added stripy glitters you made it better and than crackle all over it-amazing!!!!! And top coat on top of it, it is awesome!!!

ok, I live in the UK, how have I not seen these polishes??!! The purple crackle has a multitonal glitter effect all its own which I haven't seen before. I may have to go shopping!!!! Cant wait to try this mani.
