Barry M Silk - Mist Review & Shany Cosmetics SH01 Plate

So my blogger has been playing me up, so the next few posts will be out of sequence.

Anyway this is the Barry M Silk - Mist.
I really like blue's and as far this goes it is beautiful and rich? in a weird sort of way, I'm not sure how a baby blue can be rich, but it is it's Elegant...

Essentially it is a Matte Metallic, I don't have many (if any) metallic in my collection so haven't played around using a Matte top coat, but I think this is Worth a Purchase on colour alone.

My only problems with it would be Application, this is the second time painting it, and if I was going out out I would probably have waited to put a third coat on top as it is still a bit patchy in places...

and below is a picture of some me having a quick mess around with Shany cosmetics SH01 plate...

My 3 Month Polish Buying Ban is Finally Over...

So I went to my nearest Superdrug, which is only tiny, and saw the new Barry M Silks, ding! Purchased Mist right there and then, next on my list was a red, all the reds in my current collection are getting on a bit to say the least...


I think that this Rasberry is a touch darker than what I was looking for but I will wait to swatch it before I make the finally cut... I have also ordered something from Avon...

Invouge Suede Matte Effect & Christmas Goodies

This is quick review of one of my Christmas Polishes.
The Application was really easy and it seems to Dry Very Quickly, I did a second coat as it seemed a bit a little bit gappy with one layer.

Barbie on a Budget: Cheap Cheats, UK Bargain Buys and Treat of the Week.

TGIT!
 
 

Cheap Cheats

So this isn't the cheapest cheat in the world but is considerably cheaper than going out and buying different Matte Colour Varnishes.
Get a Matte Varnish!
You're not restricted colour wise and you can turn any colour in your collection matte. I love my matte polish and I've already done some experiments and designs with it!
There should be some more experiments this Sunday so keep your eyes peeled!
I recommend Matte About You - Essie £7.99 @ Superdrug.

 

Bargain of the week:
Maybelline  -  3 for £7 @ Boots

















 
 
This is by far the Best Bargain of the week... in my eyes - the deal on 17 is good, but I swear the pots are smaller? And Maybelline is still cheaper!

Sunday Experiments... OK it was more technique and colours... *New Pics*

I have Missed Blogging So Much - seeing cool things/getting inspired/learning about new techniques/effects/polishes. I've Missed Buying nail Varnish, and reading the very few and rare comments I get - I love them.

Anyway this is just a Short but Sweet Mess Around I had today - will be uploading pictures of the individual nails soon. The Lighting in the Kitchen is Terrible, but I have asked for a light box for Christmas.

 
Pics in article are better...

Sunday Experiments: Messy Mattifying & Saran

OK my lovelies if you read the blog you'll see that I picked up Essie Matte About You last week so to day was really messing around with that and seeing what I could get it to do.


 
I first tried it on over my manicure for this week which I think looks hot (apart from the bodged bit), its one of the Autumm designs!... Anyway I also tried out some patters with the Matte about you... read on if you're interested:
