I know this is another Barry M review, but that is the product that I have been buying recently.The vast majority of my nail varnish collection is Rimmel so I broke away and tried Barry M because I love the colours. There isn't that vast a range of colours in the shops and not all of my favourite colours are stocked on the Barry M website, they are mainly pastels and a few odd colours and some autumn shades. But I do like them. The most recent of my Barry M purchases is another pastel shade. This colour caught me eye a long time ago and i've been dill dallying around buying it, but I finally did.Its peach Melba. Its a pink peachy toned colour. It caught my eye because I really like the light pink with enough orange/peach toned to make it girly, but just the right amount of girly.Its a very feminine colour, I do love it
But that's the reason i'm writing this strange review. Its weird to do a review of one colour, but I was so confused by this product that I had to.
I had to use the product a few times before I could write this review because Barry M products often seem to behave strangely the first time I use them.This was no different. The first time I used it it looked all watery, the distribution of colour was weird and there would be hardly any in one area and a normal amount on another. When using it a second time I found this was still the case so I used a thicker coat, this however meant it dried slowly and smudged easily. I've just put a second coat on and the colour looks a lot better. Its still a bit thin in places but its not too noticeable The paint is glossy and i'm not sure I need to put a clear coat on top, though I probably will because the amount of nail varnish I have on means its going to peel off in chunks if it starts to chip.
The smell is normal and not too overpowering,it's a normal nail polish smell. The colour is beautiful. It just requires so much paint to make a difference that It does look a little unnatural, Its stands out against my hands quite a lot, which I don't think this would happen if I didn't have to use so much paint. For the price I suppose its not too bad and a higher price nail varnish would probably perform a lot better, though I do expect more from Barry M. I don't know whats happened.,it might be something wrong with the amount of pigment that makes it go on so weird. Overall I wasn't pleased with this product. I will use it again because I like the colour and could wear it on days where I don't want my nail polish to last that long but I definitely think Barry M could have done better.
I love this shade its one of my favourites!
