Generally I love Barry M polishes. They are cheap and come in loads of colours. I fell in love with the colour of Strawberry Icecream when I saw it in Superdrug, its a gorgeous pastel pink. But it is so sheer! It took me about 5-6 coats to get it opaque! was not very impressed, it was streaky and the worst polish i've bought from Barry M, but I still love the colour.

I really love this Nail Polish, I bought it when I got back from holiday becaue I wanted to accentuate my tanned hands, and it really does the trick as well as being a really nice colour, I find Barry M shades in general look the best, and this one is not too garish, only downside is it takes a few coats to get rid of the slightly opaque look

The color is really pretty although it doesn't really look nice against my skin. Application was a pain, it took 3-4 coat to get opaque.

I'm in love with this polish... I don't own many polishes, as I'm a nail biter eeek! But I notice I stop biting when I'm wearing polish, so I bought this as I love a lot of Barry m products.
I'm wearing it right now, I applied it 3 days ago with no top coat or anything, just the polish and I still have no chips. It's all completely there and looking very pretty.
Having said that I also have a black polish by Barry m and that one seems to start chipping the next day... No idea why!
I need 2 coats with this, but the finish is even and looks so pretty even on shorter nails. Can't wait to go buy more.

I find it hard to find good pink polishes; I like ones that are bright but not neon, stand out but don't look tacky, have nice creme finishes and non-streaky application. This fits my bill really well. It's a gorgeous soft light-medium pink that flatters my NC37 skin. It applies nicely and doesn't chip for a good week or so with a topcoat. I've had many compliments from people on this colour.

I have been on the prowl for a soft, but opaque pink creme for a couple years now - and I finally found one! I love the color. The application process was a bit of a pain. It needed four coats to even out, as it was streaky. But it did dry quickly, so it was worth the effort.

Such a pretty shade - I love ice cream pastel shades - but I find the formula thin and streaky on this one. My sister bought the same shade and also found it watery and uneven on application. That said, the lilac one from the same collection applies much more evenly, gives better coverage and looks gorgeous. A steal at Boots/Superdrug which are forever offering deals on Barry M - but I wouldn't consider repurchasing this shade.

Again another beautiful Nail Paint from Barry M. Its a lovely light pink. It does take two coats but turns out so pretty by far my fav so far. I bought 5 Barry M nail paints in boots because they are 3 for 2 at the moment and i am so happy with them i will be buying more very soon.
