I got this Barry M Nail Paint in Tinsel free at Christmas with the purchase of two other Barry M nail polishes. I thought it would make the perfect Christmas top coat for the burgundy Shellac manicure I had at the time. I think it was supposed to be limited edition but I actually saw this in Boots a little while ago so you might still be able to get one!
This is a quick post just to show you what the Barry M Limited Edition “tinsel” polish looks like without a colour underneath. You can really see the dark pink-red, blue-purple and green tinsel pieces. As much as a tried, I couldn’t get the tinsel to cover the whole nail with gaps so if you don’t like to see bare nail, you’ll need another colour underneath. I’ve tried it with burgundy here and navy blue here. I prefer it over blue. Which is your favourite? Which colours have you tried this with? I’d love to see!
I was very disappointed with this – the finish just didn’t look nice in any color combination I tried and I haven’t actually used it since then… This is the only Barry M polish that I’ve had an issue with :o/ Xx

Oh no! I have to say it is a little difficult to colour match because of the exotic shades used. It would be easier to work with if it was based on primary colours or traditional gold and silver. I think I need to try it over more colours – it really is a case of experimenting!
