The Barry M Silk collection has shades as delicate as bird’s eggs and a finish isn’t that dissimilar to an egg either, being somewhere between a matte and a sheen. I think that sometimes pastels need something to lift them – I guess you’d say these have a flat pearl finish; in any case, they’re very, very pretty.
You get a better idea of them here (the sun is in, the sun is out.. argh!) where they’re brighter so I’ll name check them all starting with the fawn shade: Truffle, Mist, Heather, Meadow, Blossom and Pearl.
Pearl is barely detectable on the nail wheel – on the actual nail I think you’d have to go to three coats so I’d worry about drying time because any top-coat you use will skew the silk finish, but as an alternative to the Tippex-like white nails, I greatly prefer it. Barry M nail polishes are brilliant value for money at £3.99 each and this collection launches on 19th February at Superdrug and Boots.

Soooo pretty! I’m not usually into such pale colours, but I’m really intrigued to see the finish on these in real life. The blue and green stand out to me.
I actually like these more than I originally anticipated! They look lovely!

I need these in my life! Can’t wait for them to be released! X
These look so pretty. Usually I find one or two standout shades that I really want – but I want all of these! I guess it still wouldn’t cost too much if I got them all…xx

These are such gorgeous colours, but I’m not too sure if I’m that keen on the finish! xo
