Hello! Today I'm going to be going through my trusty Barry M nail polish collection. I really enjoy collection blog posts so I thought I would try and do a little series of these. If you would like to see any other collections than let me know! :)
So onto the nail polishes...My sister and I have been collecting Barry M nail polishes for a good few years as we share a nail polish collection. Barry M is definitely the brand we have the most of. I love Barry M nail paints as they are so affordable, they have lots of different finishes and formulas and they have a whole range of colours. Any nail polishes marked with a (*) are my favourite colours!

Gelly Hi Shine range♡
The Gelly Hi Shine's are definitely my personal favourite out of all the types of Barry M polishes we own. They have such a high shine and glossy finish to them and they last for weeks without chipping. I always choose these in the Summer months because you know they will last you at least a week before a repaint. They are perfect for holidays as when I'm on holiday the last thing I want to do is spend half an hour painting my nails! I also love the packaging and how classy they look.

Original Nail Paint range♡
The original nail paints are the cheapest out of all the finishes. They have the widest selection of colours and were the first nail paints we bought out of all the finishes. They have such lovely summery pastel colours which definitely drew me to these shades. Normally these pastel shades require about two coats to appear the colour in the pot.

Glitters♡
Glitter polishes were definitely a December favourite for me. I put them over the top of any nail polish colour I was wearing. Throughout the year, they don't get as much use but occasionally, I tend to paint them over one nail as an accent nail for a party or a special occasion. The only down side is they are a pain in the bum to remove and require lots of scrubbing at your fingernails!

Matte Nail Paint♡
Matte nail paints have no colour or shine to them. They are very opaque and only require about one coat. This formula is probably my least favourite as I prefer the glossy nail look, however, this shade is perfect for the winter months. If I do wear this I normally put on a top coat or a glitter polish to give it a bit more shine and sparkle!
Burgandy Crush♡True burgundy-red
Top Coat♡
We also own one of the top coats they do. This one is the plumpy top coat from the Gelly Hi Shine range. This sets any polish into place and helps it to last as long as possible. It also gives a gorgeous shine and gives the effect of the Gelly Hi Shines. It's quite thick but really helps to keep nail polish looking perfect for longer!
