NOTD - Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Blood Orange.

Hello! 
I've been doing so many NOTD posts recently, hope no-one minds! I usually have the worst nails so now that they are a bit longer, I am so proud and I want to show them off and paint them all the time haha.
So today's NOTD is Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint by Barry M in Blood Orange. This is one nail polish which has been reviewed so much recently but I haven't seen this particular colour - I also love the Pomegranate one, definitely one that I need to add to my collection!

Barry M Nail Paint Gelly Hi Shine in Blood Orange

As you can see, it's a lovely, classic red which is exactly what I want - I love experimenting with nail colours but you can never go wrong with a classic red. It definitely lives up to the 'Hi Shine' name and the only reason I added a top coat was to increase longevity! I love the glossy finish - it's all very femme fatale, don't you think? Overall, I am actually a very big fan of Barry M polishes as they are purse-friendly and come in a great range of colours and finishes, and I will hopefully be adding more of the Gelly Hi Shine range to my nail polish collection.

Have you reviewed this nail polish? Leave me a link below!

NOTD - Barry M Chameleon Colour Change in Chameleon Pink.

Hi my lovelies!
 
Hope everyone's good and ready for the weekend. Just a quick NOTD post today - I got the Barry M Chameleon Colour Change polish in Chameleon Pink as part of a Christmas present from my best friend, and this is the first time I've actually used it! Basically as the name suggests, the colour of the polish changes - so you apply a base coat (I used Barry M Basecoat, Topcoat and Nail Hardener All In One) and then you apply the Chameleon polish - it comes out as a glittery, metallic pink, which is actually lovely. My mum has used this a few times and just left it as it is, without a topcoat.
 
This is before the colour change!
 
I actually only applied one coat because I forgot to add another one but I think it actually looks fine - maybe I did apply a bit thicker than usual...
So then I applied a coat of Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat and the colour changes to a shiny, pearlescent, deep purple which is utterly gorgeous! I think it's a great winter colour and it's bang on trend.
 
After the colour change!
 
Ok so this polish is just a bit of fun really, there's no real point to the colour change thing! I think I will try doing some sort of pattern with the top coat and see how that turns out. Really, you are just getting two different colours for the price of one - and no-one's going to complain about that, right?
 
What do you think about the colour change effect?
