The Nail Files: Barry M Racing Green

Hmm I dunno how I feel about this polish. It looks nice and pretty in the bottle, but isn’t as vibrant as I’d like it to be once applied on the nails. It’s probably why this is the second time I’v worn it since purchasing t well over a year ago. Don’t let the photo taken with my camera flash fool you, I WISH it was that shade of green in reality (if you know any polishes that do, please let me know). If you like dark green polish with a subtle shimmer then I guess you’ll like this, but it doesn’t excite me very much and I don’t think it’s particularly flattering on my skin tone either.

Excuse the messy paint job! I had no patience the night I applied it and wiped it all off 5 mins after these photos were taken!
For the price, I can’t complain. At £3.99 a bottle you can afford to ‘not like’ a Barry M polish and pick up another tomorrow!

    I was going to say, it looks gorgeous with the flash on…not so much with it off

    With the flash on, it looks a bit like the new one that Illamasqua recently released, I forget the name of it but in teh collection they have one reddy one and one that is green.

    Definitely looks like Veridian by Illamasqua with the flash on. That IS a vibrant colour, whatever the lighting conditions! xx

    That's a gorgeous color!! It kinda reminds me of a liquid version of NARS Rajasthan. Very Pretty 🙂
