NOTD - Barry M 'Racing Green'

/ 18 comments
I've really been really enjoying my 'odd' colours lately! I think it's because I know Autumn/ Winter is just around the corner (leaves are already turning gold and amber here) and so it's time for colours which fit the season. The pinks and corals of Spring/ Summer can be packed away, the richer colours can come out to play...


In steps Barry M 'Racing Green'. This is a polish I've had for years and wore to death at first, before it got replaced by my usual blues and purples. I'm so glad I decided to dig it back out because it's a real stunner! Deep, rich, luxurious green which morphs into a petrol blue in some lights. Shot through with green shimmer and the faintest hint of gold.


Like all good things, however, this polish has it's draw backs. Three coats to opacity and a stupidly long drying time. I'm impatient and don't have a decent fast dry top coat so this lasted all of 30 minutes on me before it got smudged to glory!

Barry M 'Racing Green' nail polish can be purchased from Superdrug, Boots and online at a price of £2.99.

What colours are you going to be wearing on your nails for A/W?

  2. For some reason, I have just never spotted this in any store I have been in - although I've been on the prowl for it for a few months! As an F1 fan, i NEED racing green! Looks great on you, definitely worth the £2.99 splurge as soon as I actually spot this polish! xx
