My Love of Barry M

Barry M, Barry M, where for art thou, Barry M? Hahaha, that was lame- really lame. Someone stop me. If ever there was a nail polish brand that needed to be told it was so truly and depply loved through a sonnet, it would be Barry M. No skirting around it, Barry M are probably my absolute favorite brand of nail polishes. Our love is a long distant one because you can't get your hands on them in the States (but you can if you order from their website, I found out, which is super bad for my wallet!) My lovely friend Melissa was actually kind enough to send me these 5 gorgeous Barry M Hi-Shine polishes in colors that positvely radiate spring (although it's supposed to snow today, like WOT?!) 

The Barry M Hi-Shine polishes are the most amazing formula of nail polishes I've ever come across. From application to wear, it's the best I've seen. The formula, on all of these lovely colors, are smooth and pigmented. You can totally get away with one coat, but for a really rich color pay off, two coats is best. It applies evenly and smooth. They dry in minutes which is a super plus because how many times have you painted your nails only to realize you have to go to the bathroom and now need to somehow shimmy out of your pants without using your hands? Don't cringe, you know it happens! The wear on these is also out of this world. Okay, it's actually pretty standard for a great polish but they last for days before I decide it's time to change up the color. The thing I really love about these polishes is that you do not need top coat! They're so shiny on their own and add that with the how fast they dry, these make the perfect on-the-go polishes. As in "dang, I have to leave in 5 minutes but I don't want to have bare nails" One coat or two on each nail (without base or top coat) and you have a pretty manicure no one knows you did in under 5 minutes!

I can't recommend these polishes enough. I want to get my hands on so many more because Barry M have a gorgeous range of colors that I don't yet have. They seriously become a beauty girl's best friend, especially when short on time. That's when you really learn to appreciate these beauts! I'm in love with a nail polish, and I have no shame, haha! Just take a look at the gorgeousness of it all ...
Which Barry M shade is your favorite? Which colors should I get next?

NOTD | I ❤ Barry M

Today's post is going to be a quick NOTD! I was recently gifted some wonderful and amazing Barry M Hi-Shine Nail Paints from my good blogging buddy Melissa who runs Melissa Knows Best. Anyone who follows me on twitter or chatted with me in previous General #bbloggers chats knows that I couldn't go 5 seconds without talking about these polishes, oggling at other blogger's swatches of them, or formulating a plan to get them over to me (without paying such ridiculous shipping costs!) I'm so happy and in awe of these polishes that they have been the only ones I've used for manicures on myself and my sister since I've gotten them (which has been a week!) I'm going to review these polishes soon but in the mean time I thought I'd share my latest manicure with them using Greenberry and Prickly Pear! I can't handle the pastel-y-bright goodness! I also feel so bad ass with the whole two finger accent nail thing that I also did for my IMATS NOTD, which was strangely inspired by Spring Breakers (that movie still haunts my dreams ... and I can't even enjoy High School Musical, anymore!) I can't wait to review these for you all! I love them so much and you've all probably heard a ton about them ... but what's one more review from an excited American? LOL.

Unfortunately, this manicure was completely ruined and squished because I spent all of today cleaning my house (it's my new Summer gig, haha!) I feel like Consuela from Family Guy (We need more lemon pledge ... we actually did!) It took me about 5 hours too make sure everything was spick and span and by that time my nails were chipped and fingers all prickly, yuck! But hey, it's a Summer job that'll let me stay home, wear any ridiculous cleaning outfit I want, and jam out to copious amounts of music on my iPod (I listened to 81 songs in the span of that 5 hours, oh my lanta...) And now I'm off to take a bath whilst re watching A Very Potter Musical (which if you haven't seen you must!)
What do you lovelies think?
