I've decided to swatch all my Barry M collection today, and what seemed to be an easy task at the beginning, became surprisingly difficult... So now I have even more appreciation for those girls with the perfect swatches and photos I love so much:)

First is Peach Melba, a peachy pastel cream. I decided to compare it with Essie A Crewed interest. Since I've swatched them before separately, I've made a comparison photo so you can see they are both peachy pastels but quite different.

Barry M Peach Melba is on the index and ring finger, and Essie A Crewed interest on middle finger and pinky.

Peach Melba was opaque after 2 coats with a great formula, as for A Crewed interest I applied 2 streaky coats so you can still see the nail underneath. Defiantly should wear 3 coats if you want a better coverage, but I love it's color better.

Pink Flamingo is a pink cream with a coral shade to it.I couldn't really figure it out from swatches before I purchased it, it's quite hard to get it's color right. Sometimes it looks like a hot pink and sometimes more coraly. Beautiful color and great formula, also needed 2 coats for good coverage.

Pink Neon is a pink neon (duh!) with a violet shimmer, which is  quite unique and gorgeous to my eyes. It is pretty sheer as most neons we've seen this summer. I used 2 coats but you can still see my nails underneath it, but I think over white base it should pop out, or you can apply 3 coats for full coverage.

Burgundy is a deep winy color with frost finish (or shall we say a burgundy color? Very original names I must say). I really love how deep it is. The formula is also great and you can even be satisfied with one coat, but I used 2 coats to enrich the color for these photos.

Today's NOTD is a lovely fresh mint color with a delicate glitter top coat.

Of course I had to matched my nails to my favorite mint polka dot blouse I wore for Rosh Hashana and this was my natural choice. I'm really into mint lately, it's definitely the new pink for me :)

I used Wet n Wild I Need a Refresh-Mint as a base coat (needed 2 coats for a good coverage) and applied one coat of OPI Pirouette My Whistle over it. Of course I used the legendary Poshe top coat for a perfect glossy and durable finish.

I think this mint color is a perfect match for this blouse and I really love how it looks together :)

I also wore my favorite bracelet from Shlomit Ofir's shop, who is an Israeli jewelry designer - I absolutely adore her jewelry! I fell in love with this delicate bracelet at first sight, and I just love these two little love birds sitting on this branch. You can find at her shop many more lovely designs inspired by nature and other elements. 

Wanted to share with you another manicure I made with the Nailz Craze NC02 stamping plate, using the clouds / swirls stamp.
This one was actually fun and I really love how it turned out. I've been imagining this made with these colors since the moment I've designed the plate, and it was fun to see it as I imagined.
For this one I used Nature Angel polish, unfortunately the don't have names - but it's number 031. I've bought it on eBay along with some other colors and they are pretty nice. Haven't used them much but I found two holos among them so that was nice. You can see a swatch of a light Lilac holo in this post.

I used only one coat of Nature Angel 013, which was a great surprise. It was a generous one but still, onlly once coat. This is a deep purple glitter in suede finish, which is simply gorgeous with a glossy top coat. On the one before last photo you can see how it looks with and without the top coat (I used Poshe top). It's nice on it's own but I prefer it with a glossy top coat.

For the stamp I used Sally Hansen Color Quick in Silver Chrome, which is really great for stamping.
I took the photos before I added a top coat because I was afraid it will smear, but I was surprised to find out that I had no smears at all when applied Poshe on the stamping.

When I was editing the photos I've accidentally inverted one of them, and it turned out pretty awesome so I decided to share it with you. I was happy to find out that this design looks really good in other colors too! :)

This is the first mani I've done with the new Nailz Craze Magical plate.

I was so excited when they finally arrived last week!

I've been panning and imaginig the designs I will do with this plate for weeks, and when it finally arrived I just wanted to test all the designs and create a magical themed manicure :)

So I use Hard Candy Sky as a base for the stamping (needed 3 generous coats for full coverage), for the stamping I used Essence white Stampy polish and Essence Sure Azure (I actually meant to use Gleam in Blue instead, but I've had them mixed up for some reason and that's why the stamping color is pretty dull on the base polish).

I just tried the different designs and combined them into this light and fresh manicure, which turned out pretty nice :)

I have so many ideas I have for this plate, you can see few of them in this image, and if you would like to purchase this plate please visit this link.

Let me know what you think about my new Nailz Craze NC02 plate and the magical manicure :)

I've been waiting for this one for so long, and I was so happy when I finally got this!

Essie A Crewed Interest is a lovely creamy light peach, which I absolutely adore. I think it's a very delicate color that matches anything and it's perfect for these days when you want something neutral and pretty on your nails.

This bottle is with the wide brush, that was ok for the hands but horribly difficult on the toes :) The formula is quite streaky, as I read on other blogs, but you should be able to get nice coverage in 2-3 coats. For the pictures I applied 2 coats of Essie A Crewed Interest.

As for the comparison with Barry M Peach Melba, it's more peachy with a bit of pink shade to it, as Essie is much lighter. I should make a comparison post sometime soon :)
