Twin sister of Bubble Bath, except it dries like forever.Maybe I got the bad batch?
I really -seriously- really can't spot the difference between the two of them.
Tried Bubble Bath on 1 nail, Barre My Soul on the other, and there, they both are identical.
On the bottle, Barre My Soul is slightly yellow-y than Bubble Bath that is definitely pink, but on my nail, they both look exactly the same.
Read a review somewhere that said that Barre My Soul is 'jelly-like', and that got me, but no, BMS ain't like jelly at all.
Had to apply 3 coats to get the right color -unlike Bubble Bath that only took 2 coats-, and 20 minutes later, it peeled off when I was trying to zip my jeans.
so disappointing. never going to buy this again.

Barre My Soul is a sheer beige with pink undertones, belonging to OPI's 2012 soft shades collection. One coat is your nails only better, and two coats is your nails perfected. This is a soft shade, and not meant to be opaque. You can't hide an imperfect nail behind it. You must apply it in very thin coats or it will streak, so it does take some practice to achieve that fluffy quality.

Honestly, It's a pretty dull colour. The first coat applies beautifully but is so sheer there's little difference between it and a cleat polish. If you try to build up the layers it is very, very easy to streak. If you do manage to get a couple of coats on without it looking dreadful it is a nice, understated pink perfect for work. I would have given it a three but to be honest at this price I want a better behaved polish and you could pick up a dupe from any drugstore brand that would perform just as well if not better.

I honestly really like this color, but I don't like the sheer-ness of it. Its a great nude-light pink color, great for a base for French manicures. But I need at least 3 coats to get a remotely opaque application. And with that many coats, it smears very easily. I got this for the normal price of OPI, but I don't think I will be buying this color again

After I saw swatches of OPI's NYC Ballet collection, I just knew I had to have at least one. Since they are sheers, I couldn't justify getting all 6 (they'd look quite similar once on), but I think I made a good choice with Barre My Soul.

Firstly I love the colour, the light pinky-beige looks so natural with my skin tone. Second is that it's incredibly easy to apply, I can get extremely thin coats. In fact I've been wearing it over a flakies polish (Essie - Shine of the Times) to get an opal-like effect.

Worn it's own, it looks like I have perfect natural nails - so natural looking it's as though I just slapped a clear coat on it. It looks effortless (and it is), beautiful, elegant, and simple. It's something you could wear to work without any worries. I actually think it'll be great for a super natural looking french manicure too, can't wait to get a white polish and give that a go.

Barre My Soul is from OPI's New York City Ballet Collection released earlier this year. It's a sheer beige with a milky finish. Three thin coats later, the whites of my nails are still quite visible. Barre My Soul is a quiet and very understated polish. I think it is a universally flattering shade. However, if sheers aren't your thing, then this polish isn't for you.
