Now that I am kinda getting organised Im going to try and get back to some sort of blogging schedule. So I am aiming for posting Monday, Wednesday, Friday and hopefully Sunday but we'll see how my health copes with that.

Barry M is by far my favourite nail polish brand. My aim is to own at least all of the Gelly range if not all of them. I got this Barry M Sunset nail polish in Fuchsia Generation to add to my collection as a birthday present and I've only just got around to trying it.

For those of you who don't know the daylight curing range claims to offer the look of salon gel nails without the need for a UV lamp. The topcoat does all the work for you in sunlight. It also claims to last for up to 10 days


"Barry M’s new Sunset Daylight Curing Nail Paint and Topcoat deliver the look and resilience of pro salon gel nails without a UV lamp or the expense! All you need is a Sunset colour and the Sunset Topcoat – no need for a basecoat as the special formulation bonds to the nail like a gel in daylight but can still be removed with a regular remover" - Barry M

I cannot deny that this is a gorgeous colour. Even my mum liked it and she normally hates my nail colour choices (clearly has no taste - I still love you mum if you're reading). It applied really smoothly and the top coat applied nicely. Application was a quick and easy process especially with the new flat wider brushes (as seen with the quick dry range). My only issue with it is that it didn't seem to last any longer than any other polish. If anything it lasted less time, only about 2 days before massive tip wear and chips. No where near the 10 days. I will give it another go though and see if it was just me being overly hard on my nails that week. I also have the turquoise colour to try out so I'll get back to you.

There is a gorgeous choice of colours and I have my eye on the navy one. I do think they should bring out an in your face bright range as well because I do love a good bright nail and I'm pretty sure I keep Barry M in business anyway.
