Barry M Textured Effects Kingsland Road

Textured nails are huge at the moment and you can always rely on Barry M to bring out an affordable, high quality version of the top trends.

This is no exception. Barry M has released matte finish polishes with a grainy finish. It looks so unique and feels oddly nice – I couldn’t stop touching it when I had it on. It is less rough than it looks and doesn’t catch on things like I thought it would.

The polishes in this range all have names of places in London where Barry himself used to hang out. This one is called Kingsland Road which was the road I lived on when I first moved to London – I knew I had to get it from the moment I saw it.

As a huge fan of the textured nail trend, I have to say bravo, Barry M!

You can find my review of another of the Barry M Textured Effects polishes HERE.

MUA Furry Nail Art With Flocking Powder

I have wanted to try these new flocking powders ever since I saw them and I wasn’t disappointed. I know it won’t be to everyone’s taste but I love it!

The polish is one of the new ones from my holiday haul – Kinetics ‘Violet Up’ (KP197). This is a bright fuchsia jelly-like polish, and the photos show three coats with Seche Vite.

To apply the fluff, you tip some into the lid of the pot, dip the wet nail into the fluff and carefully pat down. Et voila! Fluffy fun nails!

I don’t think MUA make this flocking powder anymore but you can get a similar product HERE.

Today’s swatch is Rimmel’s excitingly named (!!) ‘Baby Pink’: a pretty bright Barbie pink creme polish.

This is two coats with Seche Vite on top (as always). I’m not a massive fan of baby pink but this is bright enough for me to quite like it!

This polish range is no longer widely available, but has been replaced with the Rimmel Salon Pro range which is great. You can see the current range HERE. If you want this EXACT polish, you can still find it online HERE (please note I’ve never bought from that particular website so I’m not sure on delivery or quality).

These were done using Seventeen Lasting Fix polishes in ‘Woo Me’ (lilac) and ‘Fairy Cake’ (baby pink). I love doing gradients, they are so fun. You can treat yourself to some Seventeen nail polishes HERE.

Plus, I am LOVING my new shape. My nails are making me so happy at the moment (I am sad, I know. Don’t mock me).

I did a tutorial for a gradient nail art manicure, which you can find HERE.
