Barbara Daly Night Sky

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4 minutes a coat). The brush is quite small so make sure you have plenty polish on it for good coverage. It's a really pretty purple with a good shimmer and it's slightly iridescent. I'm not sure of the name, I've never seen a night sky this colour though! Noticed tip wear.

Barbara Daly Carnival

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is decent enough, but make sure you've got plenty on it as it is small. The first coat is fairly streaky but the next few are fine. I think it's a pretty colour. Lasted well.

Barbara Daly Envy

This is a lovely red shade. Decided to try another Barbara Daly and this was the lucky dip!

With flash.

Artificial light.

Natural light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying wise. It had a good lid and brush making it easy to paint the nails. It's a lovely red colour. Can't say it lasted very well.

My Personal Rating = 6/10 it's a lovely colour but I've got better quality reds.

Barbara Daly Amethyst

Thought I'd give one of my other Barbara Daly polishes a go after the disappointment of Denim. This is a lovely purple colour, which I got reduced. Check out where they put the sticker!

All in natural light.

And finally artificial light.

All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use and easy to apply. It is certainly better quality than Denim and easier to use for sure. 1st coat dried quickly but the 2nd was a wee bit slower. I'd say it's a purple-mauve colour with a subtle sparkle that needs good light and eye sight to catch. Lasted well.

7 out of 10. Got it reduced from Tesco for £1.50, but I think it's normally £3.

Barbara Daly Denim

I picked this up about a year ago and finally got around to wearing it. I really liked it as it looked different from others they had.

It's blue with a pinky shimmer and flecks of pink glitter.

Without flash.

With flash.

All above are 2 coats.

The lid is easy to hold but application is not very good as the consistency of the polish isn't great. I tried having a lot on the brush and that didn't really make a difference. Very slow drying too. 2 coats looks okay, but by goodness took a while! And it looks so good in the bottle, a pale blue with the shimmer! Oh well can't have everything. Not sure if I'll wear this one again.

6 out of 10. Not great quality. Must try another BD to compare. Under £3 from Tesco stores.
