    Barry M. 305 Pink Flamingo

    2nd bottle of Barry M i've bought, find it a bit streaky going on and a bit translucent, always do 2 coats with any polish :(

    I find that too sometimes with BarryM.

    Navy the only BarryM colour that I only need two coats with.

    I find Vivid Purple is a nightmare to dry. It takes ages for it to dry on me, and I only ever put on one thin layer at a time.

    I was wearing Pink Flamingo earlier this week and found 2 coats gave nice even coverage, not streaky at all. Maybe I just got an exceptional bottle! :D

    I'm wearing Steady As She Rose by OPI today and it took 3 thin coats to cover up the streaks. (After me saying before I never had a problem with OPI polishes!!:rolleyes:) I found the same with Essie Chinchilly. I think the creme colours are just a bit trickier to apply.

    It's frustrating though! Twice in the past month the polishes have broken in the package! I'll be going back to my usual ebay user I think.

    It's more a blue colour ... Catrice Dirty Berry is exactly the same finish but with a more purple tone - It's wearing pretty well. Been playing outside with a 2 year old all day and not a mark on the Essie!

    I bought Catrice 'Scream Peach' and have been wearing it all week on my toes. I won't show you a picture of it on my toes, as I don't think anyone should have to look at my feet, and I bite my finger nails (awful habit!!). Although since started reading this thread, I've tried to stop cos I want to try some of the amazing colours!

    Application was really easy! Its a lovely summery colour! Had to apply two coats, but I find that with most nail varnishes.

    Just tried out Malibu from the Nails Inc cocktail collection. I'm really impressed with nails inc nail varnish! I think I might have to get around to buying some!

    Please excuse the messy application!

    Took two relatively thick coats to be completely opaque. It's not the easiest to apply - this first was really streaky but the final result is nice, just takes a little longer than normal to apply and let the coats dry properly. Love the colour though so it's totally worth it :)

    I have a lot of strong colours in my collection so I'm on the lookout now for some similar pastel shades cause they are so easy to wear, especially in work.

    Have this on today but it'll definately have to go for work :(
