Barry M Swatches - Part 1

I've decided to swatch all my Barry M collection today, and what seemed to be an easy task at the beginning, became surprisingly difficult... So now I have even more appreciation for those girls with the perfect swatches and photos I love so much:)


First is Peach Melba, a peachy pastel cream. I decided to compare it with Essie A Crewed interest. Since I've swatched them before separately, I've made a comparison photo so you can see they are both peachy pastels but quite different.
Barry M Peach Melba is on the index and ring finger, and Essie A Crewed interest on middle finger and pinky.
Peach Melba was opaque after 2 coats with a great formula, as for A Crewed interest I applied 2 streaky coats so you can still see the nail underneath. Defiantly should wear 3 coats if you want a better coverage, but I love it's color better.

Pink Flamingo is a pink cream with a coral shade to it.I couldn't really figure it out from swatches before I purchased it, it's quite hard to get it's color right. Sometimes it looks like a hot pink and sometimes more coraly. Beautiful color and great formula, also needed 2 coats for good coverage.

Pink Neon is a pink neon (duh!) with a violet shimmer, which is  quite unique and gorgeous to my eyes. It is pretty sheer as most neons we've seen this summer. I used 2 coats but you can still see my nails underneath it, but I think over white base it should pop out, or you can apply 3 coats for full coverage.

Burgundy is a deep winy color with frost finish (or shall we say a burgundy color? Very original names I must say). I really love how deep it is. The formula is also great and you can even be satisfied with one coat, but I used 2 coats to enrich the color for these photos.

  2. I really like Pink Flamingo! Which is surprising because I don't normally like coral colours!
