Barry M Nail Art Pen

Hey Girls,

Apologies again for neglecting my blog...been super busy! I've literally spent at least 16 hours in the library within the past 4 days and that doesn't count studying time at home! Obviously with all this study it means I have to treat myself the odd time...so I did! And what better way than buying one of the new Barry M nail art pens. I was really excited to try these to see if they were worth the hype.

They retail at about €7.50 each, which is a little bit steep but I had to try one...and I'm glad I did. It's really fun messing around with these and experimenting with new styles. It's also really easy to use. As you can see from the photo below I tried to recreate a zebra print using Barry M 'Matt White' as a base coat. Super easy to do and literally takes a second. I put a top coat of gloss over it (I used Catrice High Shine), because I found after wearing this for awhile the nail art actually starts rubbing away, and the gloss gives it a good shine. 

Overall the product is good and lives up to the hype like all Barry M products. Unfortunately trying to do nail art with the hand you don't write with is a little bit tough...but do-able! It is a bit pricey, but it's a relatively new concept and I'll probably end up buying the other shades to mix it up.

Pro's: quick drying, no smudges, ability to create professional designs over and over again

Con's: Begins to fade really quickly, hard to use unless your completely ambidextrous
