Since the discovery of Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle, and the subsequent improvement in my nails I have become obsessed with nail polish! I’ve bought six bottles alone this week!! (ssssshhh don’t tell the hubby) Previously I only owned about six!!

This is the latest addition and it is quite simply love…….

Pink Flamingo

This gorgeous shade is new from Barry M and I just adore the name, Pink Flamingo (No 305)

I have to admit that my early forays with Barry M Nail Paints weren’t entirely positive, I owned the black last year and was perplexed by the thin consistency. I can happily report that this is definitely no longer an issue.

In the picture I’ve applied just 1 coat!! It is practically opaque and this is down to the thick creamy consistency. Now sometimes that in itself can be a worry in regards to drying time, but it was touch dry within about 90 seconds and after a generous top coat of seche vite its going nowhere!

The colour itself is a bright pinky coral. It looks very coral under flash (and on the Barry M website) but its definitely a true pink in real life. It borders on the safe & tasteful side of neon :)

I normally wear red on my toes but I can can see this looking lush on them too, however I’d be reluctant about doing a TNOTD post, I despise looking at feet…..

You can buy it now online here and in stores from August 5th. It’s definitely a must own colour!

I've become obsessed with nail varnish too; two posts in a week about it and one of them was about Barry M! I love their colour range, especially the coral and the mint green! The pink looks great on you. Tor x

Randomly the black is quite thin and disappointing…I would say it's only the black though because I have 8 other colours and they give really good coverage!mwahx

Great colour! I am very jealous of how well sally hansen worked for you – It made my nails really dry and brittle, so I'm having to give Nail Envy another go…. Love that pink though x

@Tor I play it pretty safe when it comes to nail colours. I've got it into my head that I'm 30 now and can't be wearing out there shades like mint green. I think I need to let loose :)

Gorgeous colour wow! Can't wait to try it. Just wondering is that your bed cover it's such a beautiful pattern; can I ask where you got it from?
