NOTD: Barry M Mushroom / Sally Hansen Time To Shine


Lately I have been a bit (more than a bit) obsessed with Instagram and in particular looking at the #NOTD tag on there and from doing so I noticed all the different ways girls are painting their nails now. Instead of just an accent nail painted a different colour which has been a trend as of late, I noticed girls painting two 'accent' nails or even including their thumb nail into the mix aswell and decided I wanted to try that out myself. 

L-R: Barry M in Mushroom and Sally Hansen in Time To Shine

I realise my thumb is out of the picture but I chose to stick to just two nails in a different colour and painted my thumb nail in Mushroom too. I'm not really sure how much I like this combo and as you can see from the picture Mushroom dries a lot darker on the nail than what it appears in the bottle (pictured is after I applied two coats) which I always find a bit disappointing. On a more positive note though, three days into wearing these neither of them have really chipped. 

I absolutely love all the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polish I've tried and wish they were easier to get hold of in the UK!

  3. I have almost a dozen of the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polishes and they're SO good!! One of my favourites :)
    I've seen Barry M around being reviewed on a bunch of different blogs but don't have them where I live which kinda sucks, but I've heard good things about the formula for sure!

    1. I never wear it just on its own, it always ends up being a colour that I use with other colours..
