Barry M - Happy Birthday Superdrug

Collabs are good. Collabs between things I love are great. Collabs between things I love that end up being amazing are the best! But collabs between things I love that don't end up so great are... This.

Barry M "Happy Birthday Superdrug" is a sheer hot pink suspension, filled with pink, white, and purple hex glitter.

Now obviously this polish is meant to be fun, which it really is. The hot pink (Superdrug's brand colour) is a good shade of the colour, and the hex glitters all match each other. I would definitely think this was a fun, party polish if I didn't know its purpose. Well done to Barry M for putting party in a bottle!

But we all know parties get a bit messy, some people like them while others don't, and even parties with the best people can have uninvited guests. To use these metaphors... This is a lumpy polish, for obvious reasons. It's easy enough to apply but yeah, it really needs a topper. Personally I don't like this kind of polish with glitter in it, and the pink isn't my thing, but I got it anyway. Over time, the polish hasn't gotten any gloopier than it already was, but the brush now looks like a toilet brush.

So yeah, that's about it. I know Barry M do collabs with Superdrug (and Boots) all the time, so I'm definitely sure there are better than this.

  1. I have this one too. I don't know why I bought it. I've used it once, on my toes, where it lasted about three months. Barry M does some awesome polishes, and some that just.. aren't.

    1. Right? The old ones are really hit and miss, but the new ones are pretty much all good. I would never dream of putting this on my tiny toes haha, it's way too lumpy. But it's nice to know that some polishes last that long!
