  • Barry M Coral

    I am having an absolutely mega love-in with coral polishes at the moment. As I write this (end of April) we are having the worst bout of rain that we have had in a long while… drought shmout… and I am cheering myself up by wearing hot and vibrant shades like this. It’s hard to…

  • Barry M Neon Pink

    A couple of years ago, Barry M released what was supposedly three limited edition neon polishes. Like a moth to a flame, I purchased all three, although I’m not really sure why as I’m not a massive fan of neon. The green one went in a swap, leaving me with the yellow, which you can…

  • The best of 2010

    So here we are  – New Year’s Eve! I can’t believe it’s here already. But what better chance to show you all my favourite polishes of the year? 2010 has been a fantastic year for Just Nice Things – moving to our own URL, attending some fantastic events, introducing you to some hot men, and of…

  • Gold nail polish comparisons

    This is a post I have been meaning to do for rather a while. Much as they are a labour of love, I do enjoy these comparison posts. As much for me as for you, its a handy way of seeing what dupes I have, fall in love all over again with certain shades, and…

  • Barry M Mushroom

    Let me tell you a secret. I never used to like mushrooms. Seriously, I could not be in the same room as one, let alone give them plate-room. I have a friend who suffers from the same thing, except whereas I really didn’t like the taste, she can’t eat them as she thinks that the…

  • Guest Review – Barry M Nail Effects by Big Fashionista

    Being the deeply unfashionable soul that I am, I don’t have this polish. But I know someone who does! Kellie from Big Fashionista has been championing this new crackle polish by Barry M for the last week or two, so who better to write us a guest review of just why she loves it so much! I’m…

  • Barry M Cyan Blue

    This is what Summer is all about. Bright sunshiney colours that make you think of sunny skies and swimming pools. Now bearing in mind the craptactular summers we have had in the UK in recent years, you might need to stretch your imagination a little further, and perhaps just reduce yourself to having a little…

  • Barry M Black

    The trouble with Barry M nail varnishes is that you never know what you’re going to get. Some of their nail polishes, mainly the ones that are still languishing in my untrieds, are so horribly sheer that I can’t really see the point of them. And some are gloriously opaque and worthy of the hype.…

  • Barry M Cobalt Blue

    I have said it before and I’ll say it again. I just can’t get along with this colour. It’s daft really, as there’s nothing wrong with it at all, but to me this type of blue is forever going to remind me of my school uniform. Granted, Cobalt Blue is a smidge lighter than my…
