Feeling Peachy

Feeling rather down from jet-lag and a long & stressful day of work, i decided to utilize one of my new Barry M Nail Paints that i bought while in London.  (I had such a laugh at the comments & tweets i got on my huge Barry M spree!  Love you guys :).  I opted for the shade 318 Peach Melba, which was love at first sight really!
It's a creamy, pinky-peach color and almost comes off as fluorescent (without being in-your-face neon).  It makes me smile whenever i look at it (sad i know), such a perfect color for spring and summer!  I quite like the formula as it dries fairly quickly - i get stir crazy if my nail polish takes too long to dry - but it did go on a bit streaky.  It took three coats to get to an opacity i liked, but i didn't mind too much honestly since again, it didn't take forever to dry!
I'm quite impressed with the staying power as well.  I painted my nails Saturday afternoon and it's now Tuesday.. usually my nails would be crazy chipped & peeling by now, but Peach Melba's not budging. :)
This first little dive into Barry M Nail Paints left me feeling very satisfied.  I mean, imagine purchasing £27+ worth of nail polish and hating the formula of it or something!  That would be one big *facepalm* indeed.


Sorry about the delay on my London posts (clothes/accessories haul & photos from my trip) everyone.  As i believe i said before, it would be impossible to take photos of all the clothes, so i'm going to try & film a video, but finding the time & privacy to do so may be a bit challenging!  And i took over 1000 photos during my trip so going through them & choosing which ones to post (not to mention watermarking them) will take a while!  Will try to get on that asap though. ;)

  4. Aaah good ol' Barry M! They have a perfect formula in my eyes, I only have one Barry M polish that is streaky, which is Blueberry Ice Cream. Peach Melba looks gorgeous, I still haven't found it in a store near me hahaha! Also, you could look at putting your photos in a slideshow/video for the purposes of your blog? xxx
