Barry M 'Aquarium' Nail Paint | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

Recently Barry M have started bringing out their first new Nail Paint Collections of the year, firstly we saw the 'Silk Nail Paints' and now we have the Aquarium Collection. The new Aquarium Collection has an aquatic theme and contains 6 all new polishes, 4 of which have a mirror, two-tone effect whilst the other 2 are glitter topcoats that tie in with the aquatic them, all of which claim to allow our nails to glisten from every angle.
I decided to pick up 2 of the 6 shades as Superdrug had them on offer for 2 for £6.00, I opted for Mediterranean, a copper polish that can reflect pink, gold and rose gold tones in some lights and Treasure Chest, a glitter top coat that has a clear base and contains large chunks of gold/rose gold glitter particles.
 The application process of Mediterranean was lovely, there was no streaking or bubbling and after 2 coats it was completely opaque, drying time was also rather quick, I put this down to the formula being quite thin. Once Mediterranean had dried I was left with a super metallic, foil inspired finish which looks incredible in different lights, my nails glistened so much, I just wish the photo's done Mediterranean justice as it really is a pretty polish but metallic shades are just so hard to photograph, it honestly looks more rose gold than copper in person. The glitter topcoat 'Treasure Chest' I found quite hard to apply because the chunks/shards of glitter are on the large side so its hard to distribute an even layer of the glitter, I recommend using more of a dabbing motion upon application. 
Overall, from the 2 polishes I have tried it has definitely got me lusting after the other 4 polishes in the Aquarium Collection. I just love the finish of the metallic/foil shades and they last so well on the nail too, 4 days to be precise without a single chip, however the foil effect did start to wear down right at the tip of my nails. I honestly wasn't expecting the lasting power to be that great, because as I said before the formula of the polishes are quite thin so I was pleasantly surprised. 

You can buy the complete Aquarium Collection from Superdrug and Boots and they will set you back £3.99 per nail paint.

Have you tried the Aquarium Collection from Barry M yet beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know.
