Mail: Barry M Gelly "Chai"

By
Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a good weekend, and are taking Monday in your stride!

Today I have a swatch of a polish that I was unsure of when I bought it. I thought it would be a really dull colour to have on nails, and I prefer much brighter colours. However, I really like this colour! And the colour I'm talking about, is of course, a Barry M Gelly polish! This shade is part of their Autumn 2014 release, and is called "Chai".



All these pics are taken without a topcoat, just so you can see how beautifully shiny this polish is! It's just a typical Gelly polish really, isn't it?


Application was super duper easy, though I wish Barry M would 'upgrade' their brushes to the wider ones, and I was very tempted to leave it as one-coat, but I went up to two, to give it that extra depth of colour. 


As you can see, Chai is quite a cool grey, which could almost gain the title of 'blue-grey' really. I wouldn't have said it was much of an Autumn colour, but instead more of a Winter colour. So I'm sure this will be a well-used polish of mine over the Winter months.



I started messing around with sponging techniques a little, too. I used Barry M's Glitterati "Rockstar" to sponge a bit of sparkle onto a tip of one nail. On another I used a silver Nicole by OPI "Positive Energy" and sponged it randomly over the nail. And finally, I used Barry M's Silk "Forest" to attempt a pretty gradient on the tip of another nail... It didn't go quite as well as planned, but never mind!



Let me know what you think of these- and the Barry M polish- in the comments below!


I have another Glossybox due this week too, so keep your eyes peeled for that coming up soon! And check back on Wednesday for another swatch! :) See you then!

May Nails Round-Up!

By
Hey everyone! It's officially the 1st June- yay! That also means that it's the end of my exams (though good luck to anyone who is still cursed with them) and therefore the end of my first year at Uni, which is a little scary and quite a bit 'yippeeee'. It's had ups and downs but I made it to the end, which is the most important thing, right? Aaaaanyway... Since May is over this calls for a round-up of May nails I do believe! There's 9 manis to gawk at today, so I hope you like them and I look forward to seeing June's roundup already.
