Barry M - Superdrug 2012 Xmas Limited Edition Polish

I went into Superdrug yesterday to take advantage of the last day of their 3 for 2 offer on make up, I went in to get some Barry M magnetic polishes that I've had my eye on and that my boyfriend will now be giving me for christmas as he paid for them :-).

Anyway, while looking at the Barry M stand I spotted a shiny new polish on the top of the stand so I grabbed it to make sure no one else got their grubby little mitts on it. Talking to a member of staff they seemed to know nothing about it, and just knew that it was a limited edition for christmas, they said they'd know more today as the new offers and shelf edging would be up. I figured I'd get it anyway as it would be part of the 3 for 2 offer and I really didn't want to leave without it as it looked so pretty

So, let me introduce you to Barry M's Superdrug Xmas Limited Edition 2012 (or SLE 2012 A as it says on the bottom of the bottle), if it has a proper name, can someone let me know, even if it's just called Blue Foil.


Barry M - Superdrug Xmas 2012 Limited Edition Blue Foil

It's a super sexy metallic foil, and it's got a matching lid (like old Sally Hansens), how cool is that! The colour is a turquoise blue with flecks of pale gold mixed in.

I got it on my nails today so I could show you what it's like, here's a ton of photos, first off here it is in sunlight.

My camera couldn't capture the true colour of this polish, it's got more of a green tint to it than in my photos.

I love this polish, the colour is amazing, and I love the metallic foil finish, it's so shiny and it looks slightly textured which is cool. Another thing that's great about this polish is that it's a one coater and the formula is lovely, not too runny and not too thick, and it dried quick. I can't recommend this enough, it's stunning.

EDIT - I've now had this on my nails for well over four days without top coat and it's still looking great, no major chipping and just a tiny bit of tip wear, so even more of an excuse for you to buy this.

After looking online I see there are four Barry M Xmas polishes out there, two from superdrug including this one and a multi-coloured glitter, and two from Boots which are a pink and gold foil like the superdrug one. I NEED them all, so I can see me hunting around for these. Obviously they're limited edition so grab them while you can, they cost £3.99 each, but more than likely they'll be part of a spend £6 on Barry M and get a polish free type deal so I can see these going quick.

That's it for today, cheerio for now,

Heather. :-)
