Barry M Coconut Infusion Nail Paint Review

Hiya!

Finally a post that's not about food! lol! 

I am so excited to share with you Barry M Coconut Infusion Nail Paint! I ordered all 9 colours from Superdrug as they had an offer on where you can purchase the set for £25! These polishes are infused with coconut water and coconut oil which hydrates and nourishes the nails. 

I absolutely love how pigmented they are and that there's a range of colours from nudes to spring/summer shades. They kept to the classic BarryM bottle but changes the lid which is like a shiny bronze; it kind of reminds me of the skin of a coconut.

I tested out surfboard and I wasn't too happy with this formula. The others painted well and was smooth and easy to apply but with this shade I found it very thick; I'm not sure whether it was just the bottle I had so I will purchase this shade to see. I painted 2 coats of this colour and it came out well; the finish result was shiny and smooth but best of all was that it didn't have a strong smell which is what I look for in polishes as Z can't stand the smell.

I wore this for about 3 days before it started chipping but it was only small chips so I just filled in the small chips to make it last a little longer. I'm not 100% that the polish worked but it did something to my nails as my nails have become stronger! Normally by now my nails would chip with my polish but even pressing down on them is tough. I followed the instructions and painted the polish straight on so that the coconut oil and water could start working and maybe it did. I'm not saying it absolutely worked but it did something. 

What colour do you love for spring?

Helloooo

I know post are coming along very slowly and I'm sorry.

I haven't been doing my nails much lately as they keep breaking and I didn't want to always use fake nails lol
I painted my nails with a white polish before I added any colour on as I find it brings out the colour more.

I recently made several purchases at Fragrance Direct and managed to get some polishes for 49p. BARGAIN! lol but I never managed to used any so I decided to use Manhattan Rock Topia (3) which is the Apricot colour.

I only needed to put on 1 coat of the colour and the colour shone through. I didn't really like the colour when it arrived but once I had it on I fell in love with it as its such a summery and fun colour.

I didn't know what to do as I never plan my nail art designs but I was determined to use these:

Yep! Ring reinforcements. LOL

I've seen many people use these in their tutorials and wanted to try using them in my nail art.

The following are basic tutorials on how to do these designs.

 Aztec inspired nail

1. Cut a ring reinforcement in half making sure you cut away the middle circle.

2. Paint on your chosen colour (I picked yellow). It doesn't matter if you paint onto the ring reinforcement as it will be peeled away. 

3. Peel the ring reinforcement off once the polish is dry and using nail varnish clean away any excess polish on your skin.

I painted on a white angle to separate the orange and yellow to make it stand out more. I also added black gems to the center of the yellow section to give it a nice texture.

Feathers:

1. Draw a line diagonally. This will be the center of the feather.

2. Starting from the bottom draw lines coming off the center outwards; make sure that the size of the flicks get smaller as you reach the tip of the feather.

-Optional-

3. Do the same on a corner to show that there are other feathers

4. Using a lighter colour repeat steps 1 and 2 on top of your first feather but leaving wider gaps between the flicks to make it look as if it has texture.

----------

I have to admit that I hate birds. LOL but I love this simple and easy feather design.

The first time I ever saw this design was on Instagram (nailsbylins) and I just fell in love with it but I will NEVER come to like birds.
