You can read all about it here (Yu puts it better than I ever could..!) but needless to say, we both purchased some new Barry M nail paints - it would have been rude not to!
First up to try....
Barry M Peach Melba
Peach Melba was on my nail varnish wish list and it does not disappoint. A supposed dupe for Illamasqua's Purity, it is gorgeous creamy peach that looks almost nude in some lights but neon in others. The application was a little streaky - nothing to really moan about - and whilst two coats would have been plenty, I opted for three to ensure a perfectly smooth and opaque finish.
Unfortunately my attempt of duping Seche Vite with China Glaze's fast dry topcoat is not really working out. It is nowhere near as fast and as you can probably see in the picture, it recedes on the tips even when I cover the free edge. Any recommendations for a fast drying top coat that works - with no health side effects - would be really appreciated!

ReplyDeleteThat color is so pretty!! I use Essies Good To Go top coat. I haven't tried Seche Vite but this one's pretty good!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty colour but it looked so awful with my skintone. I gave mine away in the end! Looks really nice on you!x

ReplyDeletethats such a pretty colour x
ReplyDeletegorgeous colour! i recently tried illamasqua purity, and it is too opaque.. looks like an orange mixed with an opaque white painty colour and results in a less than beautiful look.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try that colour for ages but may steer clear now..! xx
