NOTD: Barry M Pink Flamingo

Pink Flamingo, an orange pink cream color released by Barry M last summer, may quite possibly be the most difficult shade to capture in photos: none of the swatches I've seen do it justice and nor does mine, but hey, I really tried. At least, the photos below manage to convey its neonness (yes, it is a word) and high shine, but the color itself is much more on the orange side in real life.

I applied 2 to 3 coats on the nails that needed some help and no top coat. The quality of the polish is very satisfactory, but a little more difficult to apply than, say, Barry M Raspberry.


I have to admit that I was very hesitant to paint my nails this blinding color; I had it in my drawer for weeks but had been putting the application off. I guess I'm a bit slow on the bright nails trend, I felt the same uncertainty before applying Barry M Bright Pink for the first time, but in the end, I loved it. Are there any shades that you can't bear on your nails? xxx

    Yellow can be very difficult to wear, but I'm so tempted to try a pastel yellow shade! Thank you, hun :) xxx

    I have been picking this one up and putting it back for months, however last week I took the plunge and bought it! I am yet to wear it however! It is very bright but pretty and looks lovely on your nails xx
