Review: Barry M Nail Paint/Nail Polish

Product: Barry M Nail Paint

I LOVE the colour in 'Berry Ice Cream' and the colour & formula is fantastic.

Barry M 'Berry Ice cream' with sparkly silver tips*

*I'm using Collection Bedazzled Nail Effects in 1 Razzle Dazzle (silver tips).

The 'Mint Green' one is also lovely. I have a tutorial on mint green polka dot nails here.

However, I also have one in 'Bright Pink' and while the colour is  a lovely barbie pink, the formula for this colour is very streaky so I wouldn't recommend it.

It seems strange that the same nail line has different formulas, but that has been my experience so far.

As for the glitter polish line, they are very pigmented and sparkly. I have one in Amethyst Glitter which is an intense rainbow glitter. Great for an accent nail.

Overall, they have good colour pay off and dry pretty quick & are long-lasting. Also, they don't stain your nails which is a HUGE plus for me as despite its affordable price tag, it is good quality. I highly recommend the colour berry ice cream!

Review: Pretty Quik Instant Nail Polish Remover

 

Product: Pretty Quik (Manicure on the go) Instant Nail Polish Remover 

A tub with spongey material soaked in nail polish remover on the inside, you put your finger in 'dip and twist' and the nail polish rubs off. 

What I like about it:

I like the convenience and novelty of it. It is really convenient to just bring one small tub for travelling or sleepovers instead of having to bring a big bottle of nail polish remover and loads of cotton pads. 

It is also quite novel to 'simply dip and twist' as the instructions state. 

It definitely does work and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it got off nail polish. Also, the formula (although strong) does not seem to be very drying on the cuticles and the smell is quite tolerable. 

It is also pretty value for money as this tub lasted me a good 4 months of weekly use.  

What I dislike about it: 

Does not remove glitter nail polish, but then again i'm not expecting miracles ;) Glitter nail polish is very difficult to remove by itself. 

Overall, a really convenient nail polish remover to have on travels!
