When it comes to my favourite cosmetic shade, I would probably have to say I'm very much a Nude girl and can't get enough of a nude lip and a nude nail. It's what I feel most confident wearing and I really do enjoy more natural shades the majority of the time.
This Barry M Nail Paint in Nude is one of my favourite nail shades and although I have tried quite a few brands that are similar in colour, this is the one I have gone back to time and time again and in the last six months have actually gone through about four bottles, which is pretty much unheard of for me with nail varnishes. Though I say I have gone through a few bottles, don't be fooled- this is mostly down to the the amounts of coats per wear I have to apply, which is easily four or five to reach my desired opacity and shade. It's not difficult to apply, in fact it's pretty easy but one or two coats is too au naturel and pretty much barely there.
It doesn't take too long to dry and it is pretty thin, so piling up the coats isn't too much of a chore but it's definitely one to paint on when you don't have to rush anywhere anytime soon. I really love how it eventually looks and stays on the nail, but I can't help but wish it applied to this shiny Pink toned Nude with a standard application. My dream is that they will release this shade in their new Gelly formula, which I love.
Barry M Nail Paints cost £2.99 in Boots which is super reasonable, making it okay for me to well and truly stock up.
What do you think of this shade? How many coats would you go for your dream shade?
This looks gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteI really like this shade! If I were to wear it I'd probably go to the same opacity as you. I'm looking for some new nude nail varnishes so I'm thinking I'll go to boots today!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest thing is I'm in a swimming pool 4/5 times a week, I'd be worried about gong through a bottle a week!

I have this and find it a bit annoying that you need to apply a fair few coats to get the opaque finish. If I just wear a couple of coats, it looks as if my nails have a slight yellow tinge/they're a bit dirty or something ha
ReplyDeleteI just love Barry M polishes. My favourite has to be Peach Melba.. it's so beautiful! xx
