Green with Envy

As we all wait with bated breath to hear the five words we have longed for - 'clear skies and high temperatures' - I have accepted that in the UK half of the fun is the uncertainty of a decent summer. The unpredictable weather means spontaneous bbq's, road trips on a whim and pub gardens packed with eligible bachelors. The sun may not always be shining, but that does not mean as Brits we let the summer pass us by.

On Saturday I went searching for a little bit of summer, despite the rainy start to June it has not dampened my spirits and my mission was to find a nail varnish that would brighten my outfit. It took me all of five minutes to try and buy Barry M's Mint Green polish.

The colour is a perfect pastel shade and really compliments a tan (which at the moment I am seriously lacking). It is certainly hard wearing, I applied two coats and after three days is still chip free. The consistency is perfect and does not have the watery texture of Rimmel's polishes, the brush provides a precise application - great if you are in a rush. OPI polishes have always been a favourite of mine as they offer a varied colour range, but with Barry M's strong collection of bold and classic colours at a third of the price it is hard to justify splashing that extra cash, I applaud Barry M for creating a range that produces great make-up at even greater prices.

All-in-all this is a summer must and I do not have enough perfectly painted fingers to count the compliments I received about this nail polish.
