Textured Nail Paint
This is one of the collections from Barry M which I wouldn't recommend it to a friend unless they asked me for something specifically like this. I'm not raving about this. If you have read my review on the Ice Cream Collection you'll have learned that I don't really like pastel colours...especially on my gross short nails that I have at the moment. So that's one thing I already don't like about this product.
Another problem I have with this is that it is very hard to remove this product. You can be rubbing your nails with nail varnish remover for ages and won't see much of a difference. The cotton wool pads will get caught in the textured aspect of it and it feels as though you've literally glued sand to your nails.
However, saying this I have spoken to one of my friends who is also a bit of a Barry M nail paint geek and she says that she loves this collection and that it's probably her favourite collection because she likes how unique it looks. She has also said that she would love it if Barry M had the textured nail paint in slightly darker colours but that she loves the pastel on her toes.
So I gave this product a go on my toes. I don't usually spend much time giving myself a pedicure because I never have my toes out - I hate my toes! However I did quite like this product on my toes.
Overall I'll probably have this product until it starts going gloopy because I don't really like the colours, I don't like how it feels like you've stuck sand/salt to your nails and I don't like the fact it takes ages to get one nail of polish off. Another negative about this collection is that I would have thought that it would be really obvious you've got textured nail paint on however - for me - it just looked like I'd painted really messily.
I'm not sure whether this is just my personal preference, and I'm sure that if you like things that are different then you'll like these. Maybe I'm missing something? Is there a certain technique to putting on this nail varnish to make it nicer?
The colours I own are: "Ridley Road", "Kingsland Road" and "Atlantic Road".
Favourite Colour? "Atlantic Road".
Best thing about this product? I quite like it on my toes!
Worst thing about this product? I really really really hate the amount of effort it takes to take it off!
Overall rating? 2 / 5 - they look pretty in the bottles, but I don't like them for much else, sorry Barry M!
