Barry M - Matte Nail Paint | Review

Barry M Matte Nail Paint MNP 2 Crush 345 (left) - Barry M Matte Nail Paint MNP 1 Espresso 331 (right)

The classic Barry M mate nail paints come in five different warm, wintery colours. The colours are 'coffee shop' colours and are a perfect compliment to most outfits and are also great for wearing at the office! I think they are subtle and really stylish. I know matte nails aren't to everyones taste, but you could always add a shiny top coat if you wanted the shade of polish but aren't so keen on a matte finish.

The examples shown have two coats of nail polish on them. Personally I think two coats are needed with this nail polish to give it that 'perfect' finished look. The matte takes full effect one the paint is fully dried.

'Crush' is a warm berry shade and I think it is perfect for the Autumn/Winter months.
'Espresso' is a simple black nail polish. I think everyone should own a good black nail polish!

You can buy the matte nail paints online or at drugstores such as Superdrug and Boots. They currently retail at £3.99 which I think is a bargain for the look and quality of the product.

What do you think of the matte nail polishes?

January Sales Haul | Zara, H&M, New Look, Boots

After an unsuccessful late trip to the boxing day sales the other day, I thought i'd brave out into the cold and give it another go! Thankfully I was slightly luckier today. Here are the items I picked up:

Boots

Boots - Barry M Nail Polish - Textured Nail Effect in Majesty (Left) & Matte Nail Paint in Espresso (Right) - £3.99 each but there was an offer 'Buy 1 get 1 half price'

I've been looking for the matte nail paint in Espresso for a while now as it's sold out in quite a few shops. Luckily I came across it in Boots and there was an offer on buy one get one half price. So I also picked up a pretty, glittery gold colour which I think would really compliment the matte.

H&M

H&M - Black Blouse - £14.99

I fell in love with this top when I saw it. I think it would look great on a night out with a statement necklace

H&M - Black Cardigan - £7.99

I would be lost without my black cardigans! I think they're ideal to put in your bag and throw on when it gets a bit colder! The material is light and breathable and it goes with almost every outfit!

H&M - Black Leather Skirt - £14.99

Being quite a rock chick at heart, it's only natural I picked up this skirt. I love the figure hugging fit.

New Look

New Look - Cream Bow Cami - ~~£12.99~~ £6

This was reduced from £12.99 to £6. I thought this top was so cute with the little bows! I got this especially for my holidays as it's a really light, floaty material
