NOTD - Barry M, Pink Flamingo...

Having seen this on a few other blogs I was very happy to be given a sample to try when I was in London last week - while I may have issues with some of the lip-paints they make in terms of formula and colour (101 is as dry as the sahara and my sister actually uses it as a concealer - she loves it for that and that alone!), I have to say I have long been a fan of the nail paints - the only one I wasn't a huge fan off is the black (because it is actually not black - its navy, and you need to apply a lot of coats to get decent colour density...)



Good Gawd, this is a bright one, but in a very very good way! I applied two coats and got "bottle colour", and its definitely a winning summer colour - great for both toes and fingers. Nice and creamy in consistency and well pigmented - it dried well with the help of seche vite!

This is available now on the Barry M Website - keep an eye out for this in the shops (from Aug 5th) too, as there are usually decent offers on Bazza products in both Boots and Superdrug...

That's so very summery! I could see this being fantastic on toes too.

Wow! This definitely says toes to me. (the colour I mean, not your fingers....argh, it's early and I'm not explaining myself well.

I wish that Barry M had more colours in store in Superdrug and Boots as you can only order the really exciting ones from the website.

@Becky - I know, its super summery, and so well pigmented too!

@Michelle - its a definite one to get...

@Grace London and @Helen - I know, this would totally rock with flip flops, and an ice cream lol - I agree with you @Helen though about the choice in store - they def need bigger counters - I was just looking through the website and some of the prettiest shades are not in the shops - violet gold shimmer, pink gold shimmer, lavender blue - all gorgeous, but I haven't seen them in the stores!

WOW! What a gorgeous colour! xxxx

mizzworthy said...

@Minks - I know, summer in a bottle lol x

I ordered a load of Barry M from the interweb a while back - if you're tempted by Violet Gold Shimmer (and you should be!) you can see my snaps of it here -

I'm totally with you on the Barry M Black nail polish. I found it the same and really quite clumpy. It's the only product by Barry M I've really disliked...
