Barry M Aquarium Nail Polishes in Mediterranean and Arabian

Barry M Aquarium Nail Polishes in Mediterranean and Arabian - £3.99 each








Not long ago the day finally came where I stumbled across the new Barry M Aquarium nail polishes. I had £20 worth of vouchers on me at the time so I picked up these two polishes as well as two more from the collection, which I will be featuring very soon!

When I first spotted the polishes they reminded me a lot of the Models Own Beetlejuice collection, except these are, of course, more inspired by the sea and so the collection contains blues/greens and other very mermaid-esque two-tone shades. I couldn't resist the gorgeous orange/red of the Mediterranean polish and I thought I was in need of a bit more green polish so picked up Arabian too.

They're beautiful to apply, really silky smooth and one coat is more than enough to get the desired look. They catch the light really well and have the perfect amount of shimmer/sparkle too. They also dry nice and quickly and the best part is, they last absolutely ages with minimal chipping.

If you're a regular reader you'll know I often test out a nail polish using the washing up test. Basically if a nail polish survives the dreaded washing up then you can pretty much guarantee it's a keeper. I'm glad to say the Aquarium polishes stood up very well against the washing up and there was pretty much no chipping at all so I was extremely impressed!

I've had the polish on for a good week now and while there is some chipping on some nails there are also ones that haven't chipped at all. I've worn both shades together and they look fab but of course would look equally gorgeous individually.

I think I picked these up for two for £6 but even if they're not on offer they're very much worth the money. As usual Barry M have brought out a fab new collection and I'm really interested to see if any more shades come out later in the year.

Have you tried these or any of the other polishes from the range? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
