Hello! Today I have a couple of the new Barry M Coconut Infusion polishes to share with you. Six new polishes were added to the coconut range as part of the Autumn/Winter releases for 2016. Out of the six, only two of them immediately caught my eye - 'Oasis' and 'Island Fever'. Read on for more info and full swatches of both!

| Barry M Coconut Infusions - 'Oasis' & 'Island Fever' @acertainbeccaa |
Barry M's Coconut Infusion polishes contain coconut water and coconut oil, said to 'gently hydrate and nourish nails while delivering a beautifully smooth, gel-like glossy manicure'. While I haven't worn any long enough to comment on the hydration, I can say that they are very smooth and self-levelling and do dry very glossy. For those wondering, they do not smell of coconut (at least to me), but do have a sweeter smell than traditional polish.
'Oasis' is a deep dusty purple creme. This was very smooth and easy to apply, and very close to being opaque in one coat. I did need to a add a second for some minor lighter patches, but I think you could easily get away with one thicker coat. Below is two coats and topcoat.

'Island Fever' is a deep rich red creme. It is smooth and easy to apply, and basically a one coater. I did see a hint of my nail line in certain lighting so added a second coat just to make sure. It may have deepened slightly, but if I wasn't taking photos I definitely would have left it with one. Below is two coats and topcoat.

What do you think? I'm quite surprised at how much I like these. I'm not normally a fan of darker, dustier colours, or even red actually! Because of that these colours are rather unique to my collection, so I'll definitely get a lot of use out of them. I'm tempted to go back and get the other four from this release.
You can find both 'Oasis' and 'Island Fever' on the Barry M Cosmetics website here. They are also available at Boots and Superdrug stores (and I believe in Tesco too).
Hope to see you in the next post!
