Barry M New Releases – swatches & review

*Products in this post were purchased by me*

Hi everyone

I am super excited to share this post with you!

Barry M have been teasing us on Social Media with hints of their new Spring/Summer releases.

The ones that most caught my eye were the Molten Metal polishes and I couldn’t wait to try them.

After a few days waiting for them to go on sale, I eventually spotted them in Fenchurch Street Superdrug.

Taking advantage of the current buy one get one 1/2 price offer in Superdrug, I purchased 3 of the Molten Metals and one of the new Lolly Gloss shades.

Barry M describe the Molten Metals as high gloss with a metallic finish. Let’s see if that is the case!

All of my swatches show 2 coats with no topcoat. The molten metals all had a similar formula – it is perfection! All 3 shades literally glide onto the nail and the wide brush makes application so easy.

Now onto the swatches!

First up is Gold Digger which is a luxurious creamy gold shade with plenty of shimmer and sparkle:

It is stunning and unlike any other shade in my stash.

Next up is Silver Lining which to me looks just like brushed metal. It’s so unusual and will look lovely paired with a Little Black Dress! Again, it is filled with lots of gorgeous shimmer.

The next polish I’m showing you is Copper Mine. This polish is also unique in my collection. This gorgeous rich shade is like shiny new pennies! Again, this one is packed full of microglitter for lots of shimmer and sparkle.

Last up is Pink Candy from the new Lolly Gloss range. These are a collection of 4 limited edition scented jelly polishes.

Now, I adore jelly polishes, I love their squishy translucent finish and so I was thrilled to see this range from Barry M.

It’s important to note that my camera couldn’t handle the colour of Pink Candy! For some reason the polish looks pinky-red in my photos but in real life it is more of a magenta pink.

My swatch shows 2 coats and no topcoat. I found the formula to be quite runny and I had some pooling at the cuticles – therefore I’d say that super careful application is needed to avoid this.
As you can see, the polish dries with a fantastic shine and it looks very squishy.

As mentioned, this range is scented (once dry) and Pink Candy has a very light ‘strawberry yoghurt’ kind of smell to it. It is pleasant and not over-powering like some other scented polish.

Also, I have to mention the cute packaging on the Lolly Gloss polishes – those lids are adorable!

Overall, I feel that once again, Barry M are on a real winner with these new releases. They are stunning. Formula-wise, the Molten Metals simply can’t be faulted. They are fab! I really love the selection of colours too.

In terms of the Lolly Gloss polishes, these will be great for nail art and jelly sandwich manis! It is nice to see a mainstream brand release some jellies and the added candy scent is a fun touch.

I am really glad to see Barry M release such lovely products. I understand there is more to come in the form of more limited edition shades so I am looking forward to finding out more about those.
