Barry M Gift Set

Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Good evening everyone! A few days ago before I went to bed I noticed an email popping up that informed me that there was a new product available: the Barry M gift set. Now maybe I'm the only one but when I see the words 'limited' and 'edition' my heart starts racing and even more when I see the price is very reasonable. Of course I couldn't let this one go!

Barry M Gift Set

This Gift Set contains 4 shades of pretty nail polishes. They're all limited edtions. Two of the shades are exclusive to the set but I haven't figured out which two so if you can enlighten me, please do. The names aren't spectacular and even a little bit.. Lame. Why? They're all called "Limited Edition 029" with the addition of A, B, C and D. Now how's that for naming a polish! :o)

The colours are nice. It contains a bright medium pink creme, a coral creme, a medium blue creme and a burgundy shimmer.

Barry M Limited Edition Pink

I decided to try the colour I dislike to most to wear first and of course that is the pink. I never thought I'd say this about pinks but just like the Eyeko Punk Polish I have to admit: these pinks are too darn awesome. They're not sweet and girly, they're hot!

Application was good! The formula is on the thin side but definitely not unmanageable, I kind of liked it. I'm wearing two coats and the finish is very glossy, really liking that. I hope this one doesn't start to thicken up like my other Barry M polishes did, it's always kind of a let down when this happens but I'm praying and let's all pray with me!

Barry M Limited Edition Pink with Stripes

The stripes are made with the medium blue polish from this gift set and with my friend the striper brush. I like the combination of pink and blue.

I bought my gift set at Alice and Jo's Havesentials for €12,50. Not a bad price eh? The gift set is also available on the Barry M site for £9.99. Not only do I think this gift set is nice to receive as a gift, it's also fun to buy it for yourself.

What do you think of gift sets like these?

Lijkt best veel op dit setje (en die heeft wel namen) maar volgens mij zijn dat geen LE lakjes:

Vind ze wel heel erg mooi! Denk alleen dat de namen niet kloppen want ik heb Bright purple in mijn bezit en die ziet er heel anders uit en is ook geen LE. Barry M is so confusing!

Ziet er leuk uit!
Great mani! I have a hard time resisting sets like this when I see them.
That's hot! ;) It looks awesome on your nails... I like the pink and blue one! But I think I'll skip this set.. (do I?)
Limited +Set + Barry M (never tried this brand) ->I'm already searching it in e-shops you linked!!!
BTW the pictured mani (on box - right hand) made me think about Dexter, again!
love the colors, i wish they sold them in the US
I love the mani you made with them!!

And no, it's definitely not just you. "Limited Edition" always makes my heart race too. LOL!
Ik heb deze ook gezien op ASOS! Ik wilde hem nog bestellen, maar toen dacht ik er weer aan dat ik dit jaar niks meer zou kopen, haha :)
Heel erg leuk kleurtje! <3
Ohh, I'm wearing the blue one right now! xD
The blue (Cobalt Blue) and the pink (Shocking Pink) are not limited edition so it must be the coral and the purple.
I love that pink sooo much. It's absolutely stunning!
Reasonable price as well.
My Barry M's are thickening fast and it's such a pity since I have such a big collection of Barry M's. It does make me feel a bit sad that one day my whole Barry M collection is gonna thicken (Soon).
They should release some thinner actually, that'll be good..
That is so nice!! It's a shame that Boots don't carry those. I'd love to see different ones every season. Wouldn't that be cool?
Mooie kleurtjes!
WOW!!
Just discovered this blog today! It's great. I'm following you already and have linked you on my own blog!
I was flirting with the idea of buying this set, myself... hummm.......
I have a lot of Barry M Nail Paints and to be honest none of these look "new" to me... The pink looks like Shocking Pink 272, the coral looks like Coral 296, the blue looks like Cobalt Blue 291 and the purple looks like Vivid Purple 161. I might be wrong as I haven't had the chance to compare the colours side by side.

super kleur zeg :D
I'll have to get myself some Barry M when I go abroad!
The pretty coral and Barbie pink colors remind me of the NEW YORK Summer line from Miss: 24 Wild Tomato is coral-y and 7 Hot Pink is a Barbie color.

Check them out!: http://www.misspn.com

I could not agree with you more. There is nothing worse than a company that get s your "like" or email and just bombards you with offer after offer. It's about connecting with the customer, supporting them with helpful information making their life easier. This creates a great relationship with your customers and they in turn want to help you and give you their business.
