Hey everyone, Happy Halloween! I remember a while back a few companies (I have Rimmel in particular in mind) were selling matte top coats which when put over any nail colour, gave it a matte finish. While I was read a blog recently, I read that Barry M have come out with a line of actual matte polishes and I was eager to get my hands on some and try them and for some reason (not sure what exactly) I thought they fit well with Halloween and so comes this blog post!
L-R: Vanilla, Crush & Espresso
I actually found these pretty hard to find, wherever I was at the time seemed to be sold out of all the colours except a darkish tan/nude colour which I wasn't too keen on. I finally found these last week in Superdrug and since they were on a 3 for 2 offer I decided to try three of them.
I wasn't sure how I would like these, especially after hearing people weren't so keen on the matter top coats but I was pleasantly surprised. I tried 'Crush' first and while I'm undecided on exactly how matte the finish is, it definitely isn't your typical polish finish. I also found this dried a lot quicker than my normal polishes. I'm excited to try the other two colours which I'm sure will pop up on the blog in NOTD posts soon!
Have you tried the matte polishes?
I'm like you and am a bit undecided on the whole matte finish but Vanilla looks such a lovely shade! xx

I felt like matte polishes work better this time of year too.. That's why I thought it would be good for Halloween!
DeleteThese look lovely! I especially love the burgundy shade, Crush. Suits you very well! Barry M have such nice nail polishes! <3 xx

I'm looking forward to comparing Vanilla to the Hi-shine one I have in Lychee.. They look like really similar colours in the bottles.
DeleteLove this colour, I think it's really nice to mix finishes so I would like some matte shades. Your photography is great too!x

Thank you! Yeah, I wasn't sure about the matte finish so I'm looking forward to trying the other two out to see if I can make up my mind. I saw a Topshop matte that I liked the look of too!
DeleteI love the creative photos- haven't tried the polishes yet but will be now!
