BARRY M – Pale
Pink Skittle
Hi
Goddesses
Today I have for you 3 pale pinks from Barry
and his M – Baby Pink, Bright Pink and Strawberry Ice Cream. Whilst I don’t really like this look on me, I
am quite taken with this mani – there’s something about the sugary simplicity
of it that just makes me smile J
Baby Pink is on the middle finger – a super
girlie pastel built on a peachy (rather than white) base. This needed 3 coats.
On the thumb and pinkie we have Bright Pink,
which is more of a Bright Pale Pink. This is your classic Barbie pink – sweet,
pale but intense. This only needed 2
coats.
On the index and ring fingers is Strawberry
Ice Cream. This is very similar to Baby Pink,
but probably one tone deeper. Again, it
has a cream rather than white base, which makes it more palatable. Personally, I think real-life strawberry ice
cream is darker than this – well, it always has been in the ice cream parlours
I’ve bought it at!
For a bit of fun I had another dance with
Konad the Barbarian and this went a LITTLE better. Following advice, I filed my plonker a bit,
and this certainly helped. The hindrance
this time was that I used Barry M Silver Foil as my stamping polish and it
dried *ridiculously* fast. Whilst it did
transfer perfectly to the stamp every time, I only got it onto the nail half
the time! There really was NO time at
all to look at the plonker, check you had the pattern and decide where to
plonk. So, if you’re going to use Silver
Foil for stamping it’s dab, swipe, plonk, plonk. Preferably within 0.7 seconds.
So there you go – that’s Barry’s sugary
pinks.
Enjoy J xx

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
