Although it's currently raining here in the UK I've been itching to get out all of my pastel and nude nail varnishes ready for spring, so despite the weather I've dug out my three absolute favourite pastel nail polishes from Barry M. Barry M nail polishes are perfect for those of you wanting some inexpensive nail polishes as they tend to range from £2.99 to £3.99 and I must say their colour range is impressive! I have been a Barry M nail polish lover ever since entering the beauty world and I have to say that one of my favourite formulations from them are the 'Gelly Hi-Shines'. The three colours that I tend to reach for every spring are Huckie Berry, a light pastel blue, Rose Hip, the most gorgeous pastel pink and lastly Prickly Pear, a less pastely purple. As well as applying these to my nails they look amazing on toe nails especially with a tan.
These nail polishes are extremely pigmented and you can get away with only applying one coat if you're in a rush. The swatches in the image above have only one thin coat of nail polish. The brush for this nail polish is pretty standard but you are still able to create a streak free layer. The only downfall I would have to say for this product is that it does take a while to dry, so be prepared to not move for at least half an hour! I would definitely recommend getting a quick dry spray like the Elegant touch 'rapid dry spray' as the wait for these are definitely worth it.
Let me know in the comments below any of your favourite spring nail polishes as I am hoping to add some more to my collection! Thank you for reading!
Prickly Pear is stunning! I love the formulas of the Barry M polishes they really are great and affordable! xx

Huckie Berry is so pretty - I haven't really tried many of the gelly hi-shines, but in the original collection strawberry ice cream and blueberry ice cream which are both pastels were always firm favourites of mine, so maybe I'll have to give them a go.
