Nails I Love
BARRY M – Coral, Block Orange, Peach Melba, Lemon Ice Cream, Gold
Hi Goddesses
Here we have 5 different Barry Ms, all similar in spectrum, for a lovely happy skittle!
On the thumb, we have CORAL – a pinky peachy orange – and usually a colour I hate. To be fair, this isn’t too bad, and is nice and bright, with probably more emphasis on the orange tone.
On the index finger – BLOCK ORANGE. Now, I Do Not Like Orange on nails, but I love this colour! It just is what it is – orange – with the dial of intensity turned up to 11. Very bright, very deep, not at all neon or nasty.
Middle finger is PEACH MELBA, a .. peachy colour J Again, not a colour I like on me, but there is a lovely dreamy creamy quality to this. It is quite bright, and there’s a teeny pink tone going on as well.
Ring – Lemon Ice Cream. Can I tell you how many times I have ever worn yellow nail varnish ? None, lol. It’s just not me, but again, for what it is, this is really nice. Lovely and creamy, not too pale, not too bright, no nasty neonness going on – this is lovely and subtle yet not bland.
Little finger – GOLD. A gold metallic, trillions of tiny particles suspended in a clear base. Amazingly smooth coverage, and a reasonable sparkle factor.
The skittles then got glitter skittled. There’s some great combinations here.
Thumb – CG Snow Globe – really brings out the bright, happy qualities of CORAL.
Index – I am LOVING THIS !!! This is BLOCK ORANGE with a top coat of CG White Cap. I love it! The gold works perfectly with the orange. I would actually wear this.
Middle – some OPI Rainbow Connection over the Peach Melba – very much adds to the ice cream sprinkle feel of the polish
Ring – how could I resist? I had to put Wet n Wild Tangled in My Web over LEMON ICE CREAM. Doesn’t it look great ?
And finally, some Color Club COVERED IN DIAMONDS over the GOLD.
This is not a mani I would wear at all, but I think they look lovely in combination.
Enjoy xx J
