NOTD: China Glaze & Barry M

My current nail combination reminds me of the 50's or even 60's. Its quite a strange pop art inspired printed look. I picked up some China Glaze from Cherry Culture in my recent beauty haul. Worlds Away is a clear polish with small and large hexagonal black and white particles as well as sort of long black "bits" in it. I cant even explain it, but it's similar to the L'Oreal Confetti Topcoat that I talked about a few weeks ago. I really like it and it's fairly unique. I cant wait to layer it over nudes and I think a really soft pale blue would look really cute too!

I layered it over one of the new Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine nail polishes. I chose the shade Greenberry as it's been sitting in my polish collection for a week now since I got it to review and it keeps staring at me begging me to use it. Greenberry is a beautiful sort of a mix between bright green with a hint of blue. I absolutely love the colour and think it will be perfect for the summer. I love the formula too, I've currently worn it 4 days with minimal tip wear!
