Hey guys

I unfortunately missed this week's manicure monday but I didn't really feel like waiting a whole week so I decided to put up my current manicure!

It's exam time which is a pretty stressful time at the moment for me so I like to take some time out to chill and do my nails.

This design was created using a new polish I received from Tip Top Nails (which I will do a review of later).

 

Then I used my favourite nail art tools to jazz it up a bit.

 

A simple design but what do you guys think?

Thanks for reading!!

Barry M matte nail polish

Hey guys! 

As you can see from the title this post is about Barry M's new range of nail polishes.

I've been wanting a matte nail polish for ages but I didn't want to pay loads for it so as soon as I heard Barry M were releasing a matte range of nail polishes I just had to get them! I'm a massive fan of Barry M so on the 25th of September (the release date at Superdrug) after my lectures I rushed to go and get them (using my beloved NUS card) before they sold out.   

I restricted myself and bought 2.

I got crush and espresso.

Espresso is a black colour and crush is more of a burgundy colour. 

I was impressed. I loved that it truly was matte and yet the colour that Barry M is known for was still evident.

My only complaint is that it seems to chip easily. I hate to say it because it pains me to have to say something negative about Barry M but after the first day there was significant chipping. I don't know if that's due to not using a top coat to keep the nail polish looking matte.

Has anybody else tried it out and found the same thing or is it something I'm doing wrong? Or have you tried it and loved it and have no complaints?

Please do let me know
