Hey!  This was going to be a general nail polish post, but as I was taking the photos I realised that most of the shades I had picked were by Barry M...so here we are with a dedicated post!  It makes sense to me, as Barry M is most definitely my favourite brand for nail polishes and you really cannot go wrong with the amazing range of colours and effects that they have.  I have picked a handful of colours that I will be reaching for this summer; the theme is clearly light and bright, and I've thrown in a couple of softer shades that will look good with a tan (a fake one for me!).  

Grapefruit is probably my most love out of the bunch, it is already half empty.  It is a bright bright almost neon pink shade that is just so summery and girly.  If you like a good pink like me, then this is the perfect shade.  

Block Orange is from the original Nail Paint range and I generally save this colour for my toes.  It is a juicy orange shade, as the name suggests, and two coats is enough to give a decent block colour that  lasts a good few days without chipping in my experience.  

Passion Fruit is a gorgeous orange/red.  It has a real tropical feel to it and is great if you love reds but want something a bit more summery without any blue tones.

Green Berry is a bold minty colour, I love anything in this shade lately and it just seems to go with anything.

Prickly Pear is a lavender shade that is not quite as full on as the other colours but still looks lovely worn at this time of the year. 

Vanilla is a Matte Paint and is the only one I own from that particular range.  I love the effect of this it's different, has great pigmentation and looks great if you happen to have a tan! 

Rose Hip is my most recent nail purchase, it is a really soft pink that's almost white, but with just enough colour in it to make it prettier and also warmer.  I am really loving this shade right now, it's another one that will make a tan pop! 

What shades are you loving for summer?  Do you have any of these ones? xx
